Well sure … any TM can be retrofitted to 2.5 but to throw out advice for a 50’ run of 2.5 is useless to anyone running a stock 2” system.
Which is most cleaners.
The hose barb on his Titan can be retrofitted in about an hour…
A hole saw bit, a trip to the hardware store, and some JB weld.

Don’t stress doing the 4 to the door thing.

Just leave your wand on the carpet while you’re cleaning to keep the lift high and it won’t hurt your dry times

Wait…don’t you have a Titan 575? Do you do what their idiot instructions say and have your lift set at 12hg? If so, then yes you need 4tothe door. Or you could just be normal and set your hg where it needs to be at 14

Yes, there’s a big difference when it’s only 2 hg higher.
originally it was set at 12 but jon don set it at 14

"Retarded" is an unfortunate term.

In today's parlance, try these instead:

"Developmentally challenged"

"Cognitively disabled"

"Intellectually disabled"

"Differently-abled"

This last one has gained a great deal of acceptance, but many organizations that help such individuals find this term to be condescending.

No need to thank me Marty; I know you keep notes of my suggestions of empathy and kindness in a notebook somewhere close at hand....

:biggrin:
My older brother was "mentally retarded", according to the language of the time. (He passed about 30 years ago.) I have always considered the term "retard" or "retarded" to be very offensive, not unlike using the '"n" word.

Kinda shocking the percentage of which we see chemical imbalance and imperfect physical and emotional development..

I got to believe we as a race were never designed to be so prolific..


It's said that ones sins will carry on/ and effect (for) endless generations if not made right, so...
I don't know how else to explain it.

The N word is only offensive if white people use it so it seems.

I had a black guy working with me a friend too who use to get upset when he saw a confederate flag.

Some people are easily triggered.

I learned at a very young age due to 2 brothers to not let words offend me.

It gives other people control over your emotions.

It's not always easy though.

Its the intent behind the words that (should ) offend.

Understood. They are trying to trigger people with words. Don't let them. Don't give them that power over you.
Acknowledge their intent if you must but control your emotions. Rise above the obvious and look for the reason of the intent and solve the problem not become the problem.
Im sure its in scripture somewhere.
Ive always seen the Bible as a guide to control your environment to control your emotions health and well being.

All things being equal, They can say n but you cant?
All things being equal, You have a right to say n but i dont have the same right?

Im waiting for a bull dog lawyer to challenge this and smack em where it hurts.

Ridiculousness allowing certain groups to get away with this instead of standing up to their nonsense.

Im B fatigue for sure.
Im woke white fatigue as well
Im ALL woke fatigued!

If people learned not to be offended so easily the problem wouldnt exist.

But our emotions have been monopolized for profit. Corporations understand our emotions better than we do.
