Back to my original question then - what's the point in 51mm hose if the inlet is that small?

Avo, who supplied your vac - I'm guessing it wasn't Argos?  ;D

Lol.

On a serious note though Reason why having a 51mm hose is better than 38mm it's faster when gulping down chunks you momentarily have to stop while it goes throu each time with 38mm..
Infact if anyone's using a 38mm hose they need to change it ASAP.

I've used 38mm for the last five years or more - never blocks only at the nozzle or the inlet.

They don't block just slow the clearing out, I can't explain it but 51mm works so much better plus flushing out more frequent with a 38mm because the hose will narrow faster

That's funny as the drum I use with an 100mm inlet does block up from time to time ::)roll

No with just wet crud that builds up on the inlet bend inside the drum. Which would happen to any size inlet bend surely?

To prevent any blockages
there is a plastic filter guard on the inside of the latest nilfisk 30t so cut the leg off the inlet.

Oh I see but is that not there to divert the crud away from the filter?

Yes but the newer version have a half moon guard around the filters so no need for it 👍
