I have found that running 2-2 1/2" Vac hoses to the door and then to a splitter that is connected to a 2" that goes to the wand seems to really increse suction. Is this possible or is it my imagination?
Give me some feedback if you've got any! ------------- Thank you for your interest. Hope to speak with you sonn, Bryn Patton 702-917-5402 |

Depends on the machine you have. If your blower moves more than 300 cfms it may help you, especially if dual wanding. This works best for those that have 5.6 blowers or larger. Those with 4.5 series or smaller would see very little difference. 2" hose is very efficient for handling this volume of airflow to a wand.

2 inch hose moves 400 cfm easily. Above that the increase in resistance with each additional 50 cfm makes the increase of the hose size worthwhile. You'll bet better cfm if you use 2 1/2 all the way, but of course a smaller hose is manageable. That is, if your machine moves more than 400 cfm. By using a larger hose for part of the length of hose, you're decreasing the overall resistance on the system and increasing performance. |

And of course, you wont move more than 400 cfm, cause even with a teflon glide on it, a wand will not flow more than 200 cfm will working, so even if dual wanding, 400 cfm from a blower will supply both wands fairly easily. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

I have a buddy who is using a Y splitter with duo 2.5 inch hoses plus a 2" glided wand and swears by it.
He claims 1-2 hour dry times on trashed CGD. Its not your imagination, it rocks. |

So I guess you need one big reel. Running 2 lenghts of 2.5" 100 ft. to get into the house. Then 2" the rest of the way? Setup time 2 hours cleaning time 1/2 hour? ------------- Just My opinion |

Bulls**t the customers love it? It sets you appart?? First of all the customer has not one idea weather it takes one or six hoses to do the job? But I am sure they would prefer just one. Portable?? You know with all you bulls**t you could fit right in on the RED board but I see they already seen threw your investment scam. ------------- Just My opinion |

Back to the post.. OK, Ken or Jake.. I'm thinking run 2-2.5 from the wastetank to a 2.5 Y then 50' of 2.5 to 2" and a whip.. With 26hp and a 45 roots.. YES or NO on more performance.. I think YES...
Say you only have a 75' run so you run the 50' 2.5" then 25' 1.5" whip.. YES or NO on performance...
And.. Who sells the 2.5" Y ? You could use muffler pipe and have someone make one.. Like the service garage across the street from me..

Are you SURE Ken? Joe Bristol and a few others say different.. Also cmaster mentioned it would be easier on the engine and blower.. Unleashing the true power ....
I used the lip yesterday and about 2" in from each side of the wand the lips were getting sucked in the slot.. Basically around the center of the slot.. Are these thinner?

I'm Sure. The ones promoting them have money to make, and so brainwash the suckers that want to "buy in" to the idea that adding a bunch of hose is going to do it for them. The only thing the bigger hose is good for is the mega blowers of #56 and larger and those few guys running 200 ft or more of hose. Then they help.
On the glides, add a little bit of marine goop and no problem. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

I just got one from him a couple of weeks ago. If not, you can get a custom manifold from Greenie. If you want to do 2.5 from the tank, you can change your inlet -------------

What size blower you have? I have 45 and Ken said its a waste of money unless you have a 56
Have you noticed faster drying with the set up?

I have a 47 in one unit with a kunkle and a 45 in the other without a kunkle. The difference isn't as noticeable with the 45, but once I put a kunkle on it, I'm sure it will be even better -------------
