Vacuum drop

[Mikey P]

Gave an estimate at an restaurant tonight that has an intense drop down from where we have to park down to the carpet.

Imagine if you were at 12:00..

the 3000 feet and 200 steps are at 5:00 and down a chit load of zig zagging stairs some 500 feet or more of hose away...

In my mind I would have to hook both VATS together and use the Zipper in hopes to get the water back up that incline.


Now I just need to convince them to shut down for a day and anti up 3k....


fat chance

I'd use that at the bottom of the hose run... No sense suck it back to the truck with that much drop....

 

[Mark Saiger]

That is a long run... And going to fight a lot of gravity to get any suction.

I think doing both big boys trucks to one 2.5 inch Y could still be a challenge... Wow is all I can really say

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Have some loops in the hose going up, like a salmon ladder.

Tricks from my Bane days...it works.

You can always say no thanks. There's more out there. Or....

Cimex it then pad it.

Dwell Pro.....

 

[Mikey P]

No kidding​

 

[Zee]

Dwell Pro.....

That might work surprisingly well... With a lot less hassle.

We have never done that long of a drop but have done it the other way in the past. A high rise building that we were able to run the solution line but not the vacuum hose. We used a portable for the vacuum. Not ideal, but it was easier then having to fill the portable as well as empty it.

Mike ;
You will need some vacuum help at that level difference . . .

We would use an electric vac booster with pump-out within 25ft of the wand.

Vac would increase lift at the wand,
and pump out would eliminate trying to lift all the solution.

He's going to Cimex it anyway.

He just posted this so he'd have somebody talking to him.

I bet the Dwell Pro would do good with hot kitchen water. It might make more sense than running extended vacuum runs.
Rent it from Zee and meet him half way.


Then you'll know if you want one for your NV setup.

Looks like about 140' of vertical rise?

The V/AT should have no problem maintaining lift and moving air. The 2 pump outs Nate listed would help reduce the water load if they don't inhibit flow too much.

I'd think the blue one would make you think the dump valve was open, it was made for porty-equivalent use.

I think a vac booster attached to a V/AT is funny....

 

[Scott S.]

i think the interlink apo would be the best option if you promised tm performance, if not then porty it, or vlm.

I told them 3k to have all my guys there, all day.


Click.

Sometimes you know the answer. Although I was wrong today a vacant retail store needed 1200sq/ft cleaned today. There are moving into tomorrow I ok'd the availability for the crew but then I heard her talking price and I was sure she would say no. I was surprised she said yes. I'd have bet it was a "click".

Don't know why they need you. They have their own 150psi Ninja portable

We did a job that was for Bealls department store. It had to be done super bowl Sunday and had to be completed that day. It was 32 k if memory serves me right. I threw out a crazy number and they took it. You just never know. I remember the guy saying I was the only one who promised it could be done. this was back in my heathen days.
