Also any newbies just getting in to the business. Have your solution and vacumn hose supplier either custom cut (2) 60 ft sections of each or at least (1) 70 footer. Almost every residential seems to be 110-120 feet and its so aggravating to get out 50 ft of each to make up that 10-15-20 ft your short.

Or just have a stock 50 footer cut in half. Probably cheaper than custom cut sections.

When I was cleaning (Godzilla was a baby lizard) I had 2-50's and a 25-ft as my third, then back to 50's. If the first three sections didn't get it, we would just pull off the 25 and get the next 50.
You are right though most jobs can easily be accomplished with 120 ft.

Oh, I misstated my solution hose. I did have one cut to 110 and it reaches about 95%

Got a hose store right around the corner, and I always get 60 footers, cause the run is ALWAYS 8 foot short! I do have a 110 footer for long stairwell runs, and a permenent 100 footer vac hose for those stairwells.

Billy I now have the Envy! LOL I have a 100ft for inside the house. Then 2 50's after that if needed. See if that diverter will work on yours for backup

Good grief ... is it so freaking hard to unroll a 50 ft. section of vacuum and solution hose? I mean, it ain't like you digging a ditch or loading stones on the back of a truck.

Once again, it's quite obvious why you have NO friends!
And....don't lie and tell me it's just this BB and that in real life everyone loves you, we both know that's not true!

Have your supplier sell you a 100 footer. My market that will cover 95% of residential homes. Then 25 footers or 50 footers. Why have a coupling on the first length of hose? When was the last time you cleaned with only 50 foot?

My live solution hose is 150'. sometimes it's 75 ' to the front door.
125 feet on the live reel, 75 feet hanging in the back of the van. I would say 125 feet reaches 95+% of my residential jobs and 90% of commercial jobs. If i do have a run longer than the 200 feet I've got another 200 feet in my garage.
