Title: can anyone borrow me
Post by: derek west on April 16, 2013, 08:27:55 am
A CFM and water lift meter for the TACCA day.

Me and Billy are finally going head to head to see who really has the bigger blower, Plus we have managed to source all the top portables in the country and will be putting them head to head in a 100 foot CFM water lift show down at the TACCA day.

All for a bit of fun of course so if anyone has a meter they could borrow me that would be great.

Ps... Billy! your going down mate.

pps, any tips on making my blower perform better then email me derek@affordablecleaners.co.uk rather than put it on here ;) ;D

I have a vac gauge. It needs to be run on 1.5" hose though as 2" will swallow it.

I still think a "blind" test would be good as well.

Machines out of sight, ear defenders on. Same hose, same wand and votes for which feels the best on the carpet.

A porsche and a ferrari have different bhp / torque etc but it really comes down to the driving experience and what it feels like in your hands.

If you get your meters Derek you can try them on the Titan 875, but they might get broken. ;D
Mine's bigger than Billy's ;)
