2.5" Hose

[Joseph225]

For those that are using 2.5" hose to the filter...how do you store it? I can't really see a functional method for rolling it up on the same reel as my 2" hose. I currently put it in the bed of the truck (I have my rig in a trailer), but there's got to be a better way.

my 370 reel as flows from the spindle out

50' of 2"
50' of 2"
45' of 2.5
15 of 2"
8 of 1.5"

I have 2 -50 foot rolls of the stuff. At first I put 50 feet on my reel. Then as I determined that it wasn't really mattering on my average hose runs of 125 feet I took it off. Another reason was as it got colder it was a bear to handle. Now the 100 feet lie in my basement.

But on long hose runs on commercial it does help with better airflow.

But it was a faze and now it's over.

 

[Mikey P]

Stock Butler reels and some econo reels wont fit a 2.5 and two 2"

next to the lamp shades?

And wtf does that mean?

YOU NEED TO BE MEDICATED!

I gave up on the 2.5". I was like a monkey F****** a football trying to deal with that thing.

Do you really need 2.5” hose on residential runs of 100’-150’?

Of course not
This is just his initial effort to fit in here

I tried to make the Muslim spammer feel like he fit in here by wishing him a Merry Christmas. Fred deleted my happy wishes.

Sometimes... you’re a good person.

2.5 is for 2.5%'rs....

 

[Meter Maid]

2.5 is for 2.5%'rs....

But does it make a difference at 150’ and less?

 

[Mikey P]

Of course it does.

 

[Meter Maid]

Does it, Marty?

 

[Meter Maid]

I can’t believe the Mikester, as he is clearly able to be bought.

Kinda makes it hard to have fun with the spammers. But that's okay, I've always got my bidet.

 

[Mikey P]

Most numbnuts dont even dry stroke mind you

 

[hogjowl]

Does it, Marty?

Sure
About as much as a Pad machine in residential

You don’t have to be drunk to know this

I run 35’ of 2.5 off the custom waste tank lid.
I then have a 100’ section of 2”...
I then have a 30’ piece of 2”, that I refer to as ‘shorty’.
All my hose cuffs are standard, I put them on the hose, first using Teflon pipe tape, then use electrical tape to secure them....
The ‘links’ between the cuffs are 2” stainless steel.
Air leaks are your enemy....
I also over spin my 47 blower, standard is 2850, I run it at 3450...
Even at 200’, I use earplugs everyday....
I let you guess why...
On really big jobs, I’ve got 250’ of 2.5, then run 2” the rest of the way....
On commercial jobs that require speed, I will run 2.5 all the way, except the last 30’ (shorty)..
Is 2.5 a PITA?
Of course it is, but the results are worth it to me.
BTW, 1.5 whip hoses are for home vacuums or for riding in a horse drawn carriage.....

150 it does
100-125 not enough to make a practical difference for the hassle

For those that are using 2.5" hose to the filter...how do you store it? I can't really see a functional method for rolling it up on the same reel as my 2" hose.

short piece 2.5 from TM to Dev filter and shorter piece w/connector to 2" hose
(or 2.5 direct if it's off the reel)

our set up was 50ft 2.5" behind 100ft of 2"
we only used 2.5" if over 100ft

..L.T.A.

He has been lately, that's the problem.

 

[Meter Maid]

you are clearly a drunkard.

Or I just have you figured out and think it’s funny.

You didn’t steer me wrong on the SS12 though.

 

[Mikey P]

not a chance

ive got the numbers in the office, but Joe B did a test on all the different setups. 4 to the door always beat 2.5 inch. its much easier to do too.

Nope, for me, it’s single 2.5 EVERYTIME....
