2/3 3/3 quad vacs

What are the ADvantages . Why are most units 2/2 or 2/3 ? You would think 4 vac or 3/3would be the best . If you have a PORTY you dont want a 15 ft hose behind you. at least 75 -100 .

With quad two-stage vacs, you could run a max of 100 feet of hose, and with 2/3's you'd be able to max at 75 feet. Depending on the size of the pump that you've got (depending on it's electrical requirement) you could easily need 3-cords.

If at any time though, you weren't satisfied with the vacuum performance of your unit, you would be able to get a vacuum booster to amp-up the power of your machine.

now if went to 2 inch hose that would double ....

You are correct. If you have a machine like the Enterprise that operatates 4 vacs in two series pair, you can go out 200 ft with 2" hose. The same with the Mytee with the Universal vac booster - easily 200 ft.

I think that most machines are made with dual 2 stage or dual 3 stage because of price, machine weight, and the number of power cords most customers are willing to plug in.

I don't understand why everyone wants so much hose. I am running 15 or 20ft of hose and have not needed any more. I like to be close to the machine in case something goes wrong with it and to keep an eye on the water levels. Stairs are the only reason I could see needing longer hoses. I clean restaurants and residential homes and have had no problems.

I hope you are wearing ear plugs. If not, by the time you retire you be wearing hearing aids.
