Does a 31/47 have enough vacuum for a 15" Zipper, or would a 13" work better?

Much obliged.

Thanks, Ron.

How would a 16" Evolution (with Green Glide) compare to a Zipper for large areas of commercial carpet? Which would be your choice for HWE cleaning?

plenty of vac but what's your heat like when heavy on the trigger, like you will be with a Zipper?
I think I have plenty heat. Runs 220+ all day with exhaust diverter slightly cracked on a Mach 12.

The new 31hp Kawasaki runs 50 degrees hotter than the old Kohler. And have a new TII exhaust exchanger, plus coolant and blower exchangers.

I would prefer the Zipper. Once you get the hang of it, learning to manage the hoses, it's very quick. Being able to flush and vac in both directions really helps on heavily soiled carpets. If you are on the trigger to heavily, you can lose your hot water somewhat. I am using a CDS and a Cleanco. Works great on both.

I don't know. I have a huge cal-fire job today with beauty shop boy. It's his last day. I'm not sure if I'll use my Zipper SS or my CX15 today on the long hallways. Decisions Decisions. Maybe I'll encap
