My question is, in order to get the benefit of a 2 1/2" hose, would you not need to have a 2 1/2" opening on the waste tank? and also would all the plumbing from the blower to the
tank also need to be at least 2 1/2"?
My thermalwave is plumbed 3 inch from the blower to the waste tank and 3 inch from the waste tank to the filter box....
the filter box is plumbed at a 2.5 opening...it runs a Gardner Denver Sutorbilt 45 blower and I have the relief valve set at 11/12..and even running a Hoss with all long jet bars
my carpets are just damp when I finish a room...
I run a 150 feet of 2 inch hose...anything longer then that I have 50 foot of 2.5 hose... broke into 2....25 foot sections so I don't have to pull off more then I need....
I do not run it on High...I always clean on medium speed....the engine speed on the GM..Vortex..1.6L engine on medium is 1900 RPM's....
My 570 is plumbed pretty much the same way...except it is running a a Gardner Denver triflow blower...I have the relief valve set dead on 11 and get better dry times with it then I do the Thermalwave....the 570 has a Kubota engine....RPM's are about the same as the thermalwave when I have it running...
Doubt I am going to get much more from a 47 blower....If I do...not enough to notice a huge difference....
what everyone seems to be missing is that you can only suck so much shit threw a straw....the object... to make sure that your straw is sucking to its peak preformance..and not getting choked down.....
