Do you not have enough airflow with 3 motors Radek ?

There is this Mytee booster , it has to connected to a tap to use as a portable as it has no water tank ...
It does have auto pump out though .

Mytee also has this booster and seperate water tank ...  the booster can be ordered as a twin vac in series or parallel . I dont see it on the UK suppliers site but could be ordered i suppose .

john, I do have enough airflow and I am getting Strom next month as I do not like the scorpion.

But need some small porty and would be nice if can be use as a booster for future. Some places are a b...... for the access with the machine like a Scorpion or Storm.

Air Hog + water box looks nice (cool cuffs, inline filter), but as you said I do not see water boxes available in uk.


also now I see that Air hog is 79 lbs + 26 lbs for water box = toooo much
Cub is only 47 lbs

how do you make a booster from a Cub? How to connect the hose e.g from the storm to the Cub?

 I think an inline booster is really just another hose connector port on the other side of the waste tank but further down .
I don't see a second connector on the Cub so I'd say you are suppose to use the waste gate to connect , you could do that with any portable really .

So you would connect the wand hose to the booster portable main hose connector as normal ....   the hose going from the booster to the main machine is connected to the second lower hose connector or wastegate .
Water enters the booster and is sucked on by the main machine before the water level rises .

You could im sure use an airflex mini as a booster , either connecting to the waste tank gate or getting a custom second connector added .  You would have to use either a single vac or a twin vac in parallel as an inline booster ... a twinvac series would be a waste as the total system lift would be determined by the lower lift of the parallel storm .

There's a bung/plug on the back of the Airflex that gives direct access to the vac chamber. You can connect anything, booster box, or any extraction machine.

 Id say the twinvac mini is built in series mainly because high airflow in small tank can cause turbulence and flying debris .. but they might build one if ask .
you can get a single vac mini ... perhaps he would stick in a 6.6 if you wanted

Russ ... could be interesting for you to try your express as an inline  booster for the Enforcer ... two twinvac series machines you wont loose lift .. and you will gain another 100 or so cfm .
