Ok, I use a two inch vac hose to increase the potential CFM on my portable. I'm sure it helps, but the problem is that there's a bottleneck at each end of the system. My wand pipe is standard size, so the air is automatically restricted, since the diameter of the pipe is so small (1 1/2 inches?). Also, the two vac motors inside the machine are in parallel, but are hooked up to a pipe inside the tank that has the same diameter as my wand pipe. So at both ends of the system, I have restricted airflow.
My recommendation to manufacturers out there is to make a wand with a two-inch pipe. Sure, it would probably be about 30% heavier than a standard pipe, but with gliders on the wand head, who cares so much about the added weight if you're not forced to lift the wand off the ground? I think there would be a market for these wands. The minor inconvenience of the added weight won't matter to someone who wants to do a better job. After all, isn't that why there is a market for rotary machines? What do you think? Edited by FriendlyHammer - 15/July/2007 at 12:39pm |
