What is longest hose run you have made?

[daniel@procarpet]

What machine and type of job also?

I did a 36k sq ft job last week. I had to run just over 400' of hose.

 

[Doug Cox]

Over 400' doing a hotels hallways back in the day with a HM CDS.

 

[BLewis]

Dual wanding a 81k job with a V, we had 550 & 450 out on 5th floor and basement

 

[Desk Jockey]

600ft at many jobs, a couple years ago at a 100,000sqft we could only come in through 1 entry point we had (3) trucks running 400 ft our 805 had (2) set ups running off it 600 and 400 ft.

Many years ago ran (4) Prochem Performers and our 805 to do 6-9th floor of an office building. Ran hoses in the stair well the night before. 600, 500, and (2) 400 ft setups.

 

[Ron Werner]

I only have 350, no probs with my 4.7, all 2.5 except for 50ft of 2"

 

[Derek]

200' with a bain. i think i left more water in the carpet than i had to start with in the sol tank.

 

[rwcarpet]

Probably 500 at one time. Mostly never over 2-250'.

 

[Ken Snow]

Close to 800 ft with Butlers.

We have run about 1100 and used our 24" White Magic drag wand until we got down to 800 we switched to a ti.
We've got one acct we do monthly that is on the 5th floor and 700ft out. We always run all 2.5 until the last 25ft.
Our machine are all 56 blower White Magic direct drives, slightly modded.

Daniel;

We have several customers doing jobs over 400 ft. from the TM.

Any TM cleaning over 400 ft. of 2" hose . . .

needs an electric booster at the wand.

Lift at the wand will drop dramatically at that distance.

2.5" vac hose helps , but weighs a lot more than 40 #.

Larry,

Do you recommend the booster no more than 25 feet from the wand?

So a persons going to be moving the booster around often, and dealing with the cord.

How about the noise, listening to a screaming vac motor for several hours (if not all day)?

How does the boosters lift along with the higher lift from the truckmount affect the overall lift?

Thanks.

[XTREME1]

[Larry Cobb]

Larry,

Do you recommend the booster no more than 25 feet from the wand?

Yes, ideally.

So a persons going to be moving the booster around often, and dealing with the cord.

At 40#, it is not a big hassle.

How about the noise, listening to a screaming vac motor for several hours (if not all day)?

Noise is not a big factor, silencers are available.

How does the boosters lift along with the higher lift from the truckmount affect the overall lift?

Boosters improve the LIFT of TM's.

[Mike Draper]

We have 4-6 jobs a year where we use 400'. I've never needed more.
