Blowers and dry times

[Chads]

Just wondering what size blower your running?
And what dry times do you get without fans?

I run a 47 blower, 2 inch hose, 2 inch greenhorn hole glided wand. Dry times from 2-6 hours, my best guess anyhow I hardly stick around till they are dry. I usually only run 100 ft of hose and also 14-15 inches of lift. When I leave the carpet doesn't transfer moisture to pants knees and feels cool and barely damp.

One great way to tell how dry yor carpet iz:

After you roll out yor green masking paper....does it leave wet foot prints when ya walks on it.........mine don't!

I run a 56 blower @ 17", most jobs require 75' of 2.5" and 20' of 2" hose, using a hybrid green glide on a greenhorn wand with 12.5 flow at 550 psi. My temp is almost always the same, 245 deg atm, 225 deg atw.

On a nice day with low humidity, if the customer leaves their cieling fans on and opens their windows, the carpet is dry to the touch in 30 to 45 minutes.

A humid day with no windows open will extend dry times to 3 - 3 1/2 hours.
