We should probbaly measure lift at the wand, and not at the blower intake.

Most would be surprised how much difference there is from A to B.

About two months ago I seen "sombrero cleaning systems" doing a wool casino floor. They had a almost new BL thermal wave that sounded as if it were a train derailing. I looked inside and seen the vac gage moving from 17 all the way up to 26-27hg. If it wasn't for the noises it was making I would think the gage was broken. There was also no sound of a releif valve. It sounded Like it was going to stall, blow up, and vibrate apart. They were cleaning at about 250 ft at 350 psi with a unglided ti wand. The carpet was lifting off the floor when he was pulling back on the wand. No dry strokes and it was dry in like 45 min to 1 hr. They scrub in their ps with a 175 rotary dump. They have lots of vans I haven't seen any of the others cleaning so I don't know if they run them like that on purpose.

I'll bet Thom is looking up that name now, making notes 'no warranty' on this one.

unglided Ti....whew! Bet he was doing the drop and drag.

I was told by an self proclaimed expert (Who's opinion I trust) that the maximum HG lift you can get at sea level is 30, no matter how big and bad the blower is, and you subtract about 1 HG for every thousand feet above sea level... The most I have ever seen is 18 and I don't think it makes that much difference as long as you got good CFM... but I'm still a little green.
