I only run 25 ft with my FX-88 HP.  It's got 2 x 2-stage vac motors as well.  I'm unsatisfied with the suction when I add another length.  Heck,  sometimes I'm unsatisfied with the suction when the vacs are on the same breaker as the pump.

Better. You may dry the carpets an hour quicker than the 25 ft will give you at the higher pressures. At the 200 psi level or lower not much difference cause they both dry pretty quick.

25 ft would be the best considering you need strong vacuum to handle the water flow that pump can produce. Replace the motors with 3 stage and you are good for 50 ft.

How many feet of hose can you run off a Ninja 500 with the 2x2 stage VM?
