This is my longest run to date kind of a pita but its money. 250' total, 100' of 2.5 and the rest 2", I think I could get away with 275' but thats about it.. I need some more 2" cool cuffs, lol! I used just about every piece hose I have.. The vac. felt good at this length.

What kind of TM do you have and whats your longest run? (or what do you feel your TM maxes out at realistically Fontinot)

I really should have brought someone this time those stairs are a bitch!!

I did pack up in under 20mins, and I wasn't really moving too fast.

The reel is still working perfect: 8)

why not go through the window?

Courtyard and it would have ended up to be the same length. Don't like to set up twice since I was already set up for the second floor... see the airmover cord in the vid. those were the first offices I did.

Yesterday I had a 200" run up 5 full flights of steps. 100' of 2.5 and 100' of 2". I hate climbing steps. I have another building next month with 10 full flights of steps and 250' run. Some of the apartment I do take 300'.

I carry 250' of vac hose. But the longest I've run doing a school is 200'. I y the first 50 ft then run the rest straight 2". It still gives a good tug at that distance on CGD carpet.

I run 500 ft hose runs every month at the regional health system. Once a year we run hose up 14 stories, and then attach 200 ft to clean the 14 floor. We run two Vortexs and they handle the distance well.

My longest was only 250 feet but its been a few years since I went past 200. I never realized the electric reals had enough torque to pull all that hose. That is awesome! I thought you had to feed it in.

Friday we did a 15,000 sf, 3rd story office: 300ft of 2.5 and 200ft of 2", vac is decent but not screaming anymore and the water pressure is definitely reduced a bit. We also had to run 350ft of garden hose up to the 3rd floor janitors closet, there is no water on the exterior of the building. Pro 1200 was at that one, 16-17hg the whole time.

I can't remember our longest run exactly but I think it was about 800-900 at a hotel. 6 floors it the highest I've gone with our tm.

A few years back I went on a demo with a distributor at a casino that had it's own Prochem 800A and a plumbing system in the building. On the 28th floor, while the tm was on the ground floor, the vac was awesome. I think they used 3" pvc straight up the fire escape.

My longest run was around 450 up nine flights of stairs - all this on a 36 blower or maybe it was a 33 - Nitro - ok suction considering what I was making.

A Nitro would be a 33 blower.
