Just found out today the 1200 is set at 13 " of lift.
That's interesting - Rick said earlier:
Max HG's is 14.
Maybe you're allowed to set it higher? I dunno.....

The new Pro-1200 SE was reengineered to deliver these breakthrough benefits:
The hottest van-powered direct-drive truckmount combines two engine coolant heat exchangers with Sapphire Scientific’s exclusive fin-tubed coil blower exhaust heat exchanger. This delivers continuous cleaning of 220+ degrees – no need to spend extra money on additional heat options."
We get 240° out of our high heat Butlers.
Somebody have data on the relative sound level, in dB at various distances from the machine?
readings i took at about 5 feet from both the hydra master cps and the pro 1200.
both read near the same at 94-95 db max
Sound decreases with distance according to the inverse square law, which means you get approximately 6dB drop in sound level every time you double the distance. So if the initial reading is 95 dB at 5 feet, as you move away you would get:
10 ft - 91dB
20 ft - 85dB
40 ft - 79 dB
etc.
A normal conversation is about 65dB at 3 feet for comparison.
This rule only applies if there are no obstructions to reflect the sound (i.e. an open field). So if you park on the street and walk towards a house the sound would be louder than the prediction due to sound reverberating off the walls.

So the carpet takes how much longer to dry?Why would ANY modern TM manufacturer set a new vacuum system to 13" ??
A few days ago, we tested a direct drive #47 blower on the carpet with both 13" and 16" of lift at the truck.
At 13" the Airflow thru the wand was 17.5% less than that @ 16" . . .

Single wand?
What was the difference in appearance and dry times when you finished cleaning the carpet?
Dual Wand . . . The testing was measured at the 14" x 2" wand with 100ft of 2" hose while
12" x 1.5" wand with another 100' of 2" hose was also connected.
CFM was 200 @16" hg vs
CFM was 165 @13" hg .
Not much doubt which one had the best recovery !!
