What is the longest hose run you have done with your porty?

50 from the porty with a Shazaam to the Cross-American booster. 25 from there to the rotovac ---- carpet dry in 1 hour or less. I leave the modified porty outside for most of job. I am considering 50 feet from the booster to the rotovac powerwand but I am happy so far with my current configuration.

Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

Hey Duck ... Thought you were OPing only. Anyways good info.
Went 75' on a high density thick pad nylon and it left it too wet for my likings. And thats with 3x3stage 1.5" hose.. The wand has to move like a tortoise turtle. haha! And if you have high flow you sometimes get a girgle in the wand head where the water isnt moving fast enough. Electric TMs they call it. haha! To me its just a porty even if its stays in the Van. just sayin!

there are some new machines available soon in uk which allow 150ft hose. most i've gone with is 100ft and suction was still great. can't see me really needing any more then that from this machine

200 Ft.
When you run 4 vac motors you can do stuff like that.
4 - 3 stage vacs in series parallel formation does it rather easily.

Doing both now John and with 100 ft now between Cross-American vac booster and rotovac, still using the Mytee 1001HV with a Shazzam booster and 250 psi pump. Different tools for different jobs like my dad did on construction jobs.
