Any problem with 2 inch hose?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

       I just bought a Dirt Invader used from a guy that was getting out of the business. He claims that he had another that he converted to 2 inch vac line and it worked much better. He was using twenty feet of vac and pressure line.

Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?

	Ok, I have used the 2 inch hose on 4 jobs, seems like there is less strain on the blowers, and also seems like everything is a lot less noisey. It doesn't seem like there is much more performance though. I think I'm going to stick with my Votrex TM. I only use the portable on units above the 8th floor. 3 Inch hose is a bit hard to manage, I have trouble with my 2 1/2 inch hose.
