You will lose 20f over 25 ft hose on a carpet cleaning machine. Now if the hoses are thinner than  a Goodyear steal breaded hose the heat los will be greater.

9 am 300L left Water in tank 26 degrees

12.30 pm   200L left Water in tank  24 degrees. At brush head (fired into large jug) 19 degrees
Ambient temp 10 degrees. Van temperature 12 degrees

4.30 pm 100L left Water in tank 22 degrees. At brush head 17 degrees.
Ambient temperature 8 degrees. Van temperature 12 degrees. 

Figures are with only about 5 metres pulled out. I run 50 metres of microbore and 35 metres of green pole hose on my reel .

ok - put it another way 16 amp socket wired to the mains - no 13 amp plug between the element and mains electricity
