I saw the Recoil-3 at the website and really like what I read on it. One Question, with the built in power booster what is the longest hose you can run with it without loosing suction power.? If I just used a 25 ft. hose will it be to powerful and like pull up the carpet.? Thaks any help on this matter much appreciated.

Greg;

The RECOIL-3HP base system is supplied with 50 feet of hose as a min. for working. And, at only 25, or 50 feet, engaging the built-in Booster is not necessary.

Good Fortune;

Greg,

I would go a little further than Ed.

Though the third vacuum unit is not required at 25 or 50 feet, it will not "pull up the carpet" because it is very much an airflow optimised machine.

It is airflow that removes water and soil from the carpet and airflow that transports them to the soil tank. If the machine is being used properly, with the correct wand technique to take full advantage of the greatly enhanced airlow, then using the machine at its maximum capability will produce the best results.
