hi there
i may be aquiring a ninja, 120ps1 with 240" LIFT, fingers crossed.
what would the ideal perating hose lengths be on this. i believe the current chap is running 100ft, is that OK, good, bad, or silly.
im running abut 40ft from my prochem cheyenne at present.

For the most efficient set up, always run the shortest hoses possible. I believe that most Ninja users run upto 100ft.
Safe and happy cleaning

we use 25ft mostly but can run up to 50ft when we need to,the ideal hose length is really about 35ft or 40ft this will do most houses
most sad when you need just another 6ft when you have to add another bloody 25ft

ian do you use or have used Rhino say 500 psi,as you can get one for around 1400£ :
just wondered what the Rhino has over if any than the ninja we have 135 psi now,but the cost to go 400psi is loads more dosh,so the Rhino is good value

Terry
went for the ninja because they are local to me and as i had some problems with my last machine this was very important this time around.
one great thing about portables is that you can replace the vac and pumps cheaply so if you are on a budget old machines can be reconditioned easily.

100 ft on the vacuum side no probs but 120 psi over 100 ft??
Is it worth it?
Upholstery fine but carpets? You'd be wise to upgrade your pump pressure a lot at that hose length.

when we use longer hoses we always break down to shorter asap,as there must be some suction loss at greater the hose length

Hi Terry
yes, have not got the hang of the mix between flow and pressure yet. martin told me to keep flow closed and pressure full up.
what your advise?
I am reviewing all my methods at the moment and what i use. i sold my laptop to trevor woodman the other day and was talking to him about his methods, very interesting. i like lots of options so the more ideas the greater understanding of new products and methods.
How about you do you just use one method?

I have just but the third system into my transit connect, its like doctor who's tardis in the back. i am on the lookout for a heater bucket if you hear of one let me know. i don't hold out much hope with all the health and safety around these days.
