Can someone please tell me why my wet vac seems to have more suction that my portable with 3 stage vac?

I am looking for something to use in places that I cannot use my TM for water extraction only, oh and I want it to have auto pump out.

Sapphire Scientific has a great unit that is designed specifically for the application you described.....the "HVE 3000" has Dual vacs with 164 inches of water lift with 2" vac ports and the auto pump out has a 50 GPM capability when using the 1 1/2" outlet.
Please go to www.sapphirescientific.com and look under "extractors" then HVE 3000 to see all the specs.

Most portables are designed for lift

Where as vac only is for airflow, Cfm.

You need Flood Pumper any way. You can't use a wet vac and expect to charge restoration rates.

We have one on each of our WRD trucks. You never know when you can't reach with a TM. Either extended hose runs or impractical setup for TM use.

It also makes a nice back up unit to run in the case of larger losses, while waiting until more trucks arrive.

Shorty, do you have one of those? I am considering it with a 360i.

It all boils down to not being recognized while robbing the liquor store..

Stephen, we can work out a good deal for you on the CFX, since we've recently become a Rotovac distributor. Give us a call if you're interested. :)
