Vac booster on Enforcer.
« on: October 21, 2015, 03:32:42 pm »
I have an old vac booster that I used to use on my Ninja,  would there be any point attaching this to an Enforcer, bearing in mind the vac booster has  1.5 inch internal  vacuum ducting and the Enforcer has 2 inch ?

Thanks
Kev.

Hi Paul, I use the 2 inch and 1.5 inch hose.  I have the pipe which connects the vac booster to the Enforcer but I cant really tell if it makes any difference.

Its ok, but I could do with more. The 2 inch hose slips over the  inlet pipe.

search ' boosted enforcer ' and it will save me explaining

Sean , haven't had the time  since to start , hopefully soon .

Pro fresh , Ashbys are still using that booster with the enforcer , i presume they have fitted a 2' hose connector to the newer version , if so its just one connector , perhaps they'd sent u one or you could source one , also they have a newer electro motor in booster these days .
But i dont think using your 1.5 would matter a lot anyway .

Thanks John, when you say it wouldnt matter, do you mean its not worth using the booster as it is  or changing  the inlet wouldnt make much difference.

Hi Kevin

We have 3 enforcers and use our old 1.5 vac boosters occasionally when doing long runs.  Defo notice more lift. I personally have not notice any difference between our old 1.5 booster and the new 2inch booster tbh

Thanks Luc, I shall give it a try again.  Do you use 2inch hose all the way to the wand or do you have a  whip hose?

Shaun I'm still using the Tm now and then. Doing a lot more work in London and Parking is a nightmare. I brought a window cleaning van so also use the enforcers van mounted now and then.
Profresh if I'm running 100-125 ft off the enforcer I sometimes use 2inch all the way to a 2inch wand. I have bad arthritis in my hands from a bad motorcycle accident and find a 1.5 wand easier to use all day. I normally use a 4ft 1.5 whip hose.

Thanks Luc

I have tried buying  short lengths of whip hose but no one seems to sell them, where did you buy yours from ?

Hi Luc how good would you gauge the enforcers performance at 125ft?

Profresh I have so much old hose laying around I just cut odd bits off. Ashbys used to always have odd bits lying around so would sometimes buy  the odd bit from them.

Robin the suction down 100 to 125 is not bad. Obviously not the same as the Tm but I'm more then happy with it. I get great drying times still even using that much hose. I copied John martins idea of adding another vacuum  port to the side off one enforcer and have run 2 enforcers together. Similar to the mytee escape. Cleaned a nightclub on 200ft hose and was more then surprised at the power and drying time.  I cleaned this nightclub at night so the Tm was not best choice as its so loud.
I like the enforcer as you can run it off one plug if need be.
I have a 500litre window cleaning tank with a built  in immersion heater that keeps my water all warm and toasty

Yes it does suck pretty good. I was quite surprised at the drying times and it cleaned up just as good as the many times before with the Tm. I preheated the water in the large tank using the immersion for a few hours and then used a inline heAter to get a decent temp. Worked well tho
