Straighten the hose out. All the coils in the hose is more than likely decreasing suction. Just weave the hose on the floor but don’t allow it to stay coiled up.
Engineer here. You are getting less than 10% of your 'no hose' suction power with that 50 ft 1.25" diameter hose. Flexibile hoses are tough. The ridges cause a lot of head/suction loss. Go to a 30' 2.25" hose and you will see a lot of improvement (still under 50% of the no hose values). People think smaller hose = more velocity, but that is only true if you neck down at the very end. If the entire hose is small the increased friction/restriction will drop your pressure. Velocity is a function of the delta in pressure, and frictions causes a drop in pressure along the length of the hose. if you had a 1000ft hose for instance the flow would be nothing and you'd burn up your vacuum motor
Good evening, Great video I appreciate it! I am using a rigid shop vac that has a 1 7/8 diameter hose. Rigid HP pro pack. I purchased the hose reel. Any idea on how I can attach my hose or link for reducer of some sort?
did the same with mine and the noise coming out of the hose is so bad that i cant use anything longer the 10 feet. makes a kind of whislteling nois realy high pitch its terrible, why is yours not doing this
“All these hose suck the same” 🤣
I got the 4 gallon ridgid shot vac and the detail kit as well. I just got the 20ft centech hose and it’s amazing! Sucks like a charm and fits great!

thanks for the information! always love hearing from people who have numbers and experience to back up the suggestions! I’ll look into it

you could always add a remote to the vacuum plug so you don't have to turn it on at the vacuum
that’s actually a great idea :O
Bro i just bought that exact vacuum last week. lol Needed this video!
I have the exact vacuum but can’t find the fittings for my 1-1/2 hose to the same ridged vacuum
did the same with mine and the noise coming out of the hose is so bad that i cant use anything longer the 10 feet. makes a kind of whislteling nois realy high pitch its terrible, why is yours not doing this
Why not just get a garage retract vac central vacuum?
I’m too poor
** do up a dust collector and you'll essentially have a central vac:)
When do you think you will start doing some detailing videos??
This spring and forever lol have SOO many planned
