So......this system doesn't use the standard blower? This is his own creation? You would have to buy his machine to get this performance. You couldn't use it on a warranty-covered TM. Run a warrantied TM at 15 or above, blow something, then take it the dealer for repairs? The dealer will be showing you the door or a huge repair bill. Don't think you could hide that damage. It would be great to be able to run over 15 hg with a glided wand, but there's a reason why TM manufacturers limit vacuum to 13-14 inches. Now, if you have an out-of-warranty TM, go for it.

Yeah in thought and in our High Horse power minds yes, but you need to also understand that that kind of vacuum would more than likely cause major damage to any carpet it came in contact with, how many of us have torn tack strips out, or carpet from transitions at kitchen, or entry ways, at far less vacuum levels?
This is no joke I had my Vac R valve cranked down when a first started 42dr stuff, my wand went over strip and landed on a 12 x 12 tile and it locked down to it, when I lifted the wand it PULLED the tile up, now yeah to stupid tile had come lose but the owner didn't care what my excuse was I had to fix it.

The only way increased lift at the machine (lift way above norms) would be beneficial is if the wand is designed in such a way as to convert it to increased airflow at the wand/carpet interface and is also designed to prevent lockdown. Sealing the hose and showing high numbers is useless, and as Tom said can be destructive.

I've been saying that for years.....
Cleaned this 13 year old off white rental ....YES RENTAL carpet yesterday with my prototype wand came out pretty good, I did not take a before pic as I didn't think it would come out this good, it was nowhere near 23Hg

Very nice Tom!

I don't believe he is really pulling 23", if so it would be much harder to remove the vacuum gauge. If I cap my vac off at 15" I have to slide the cap to the side to remove it.

What did Suk-it say or do to get the boot?

He was already banned. That was a second account.
to recap:
He is a habitual account creator and member abuser. He has been banned several times here (and other forums). You may recognize him from his past names:
stuart rose/rcc/carpet guy
/wayne vincent/Louis Vincentie/Red Carpet Care,
so........he can suk it.........

My a15 was routinely set at 20. I also had the the computer link and you could see that the engine never bogged even a little. I'm not really interested in creating air just to bypass it. Never hurt the blower either. Any tool attached screamed. Currently running my new machine almost as hard. Waiting for the warranty to end to push it.

Here is 20,21 inches on my 18hp powering a 4ml sutorbilt. What does it all mean? My vac relief isn't set properly

When I ran duals I capped the relief. I wanted it all going through the the hose. Lift dropped to 12 with 2 attached zippers. Blower just couldn't produce enough. It still did a good job I just prefer higher. The 870 screams no problem with 2 zippers. you'd need a diesel burner to beat it heat wise, little giant no way.
