Job Site 1: 5 story office building in San Francisco. Usually we us the Vortex and triple wand running 700 ft of hose. total flow 18 to 24. Heat and suction great.
Job site #2: 4 story office building with 3000sq ft less than Job site #1. Yesterday we had to clean job with the DXT because the Vortex was in the shop. Could only double wand. When flow was 18 the DXT could only maintain 140F heat. I changed wands and dropped flow to 12-- temp got up to only 160F.
Suction was still great but with lower flow and heat the job took 3 hours longer.
I still like the DXT for residential but will always have a Vortex on hand. The DXT is cheaper to operate on a day to day basis.
Bottom line is: Detroit makes trucks that can tow an airplane but Japan makes cars that save gas. Which do you need?
