I use to use 200 feet when I was cleaning the banquet Halls with my mytee dual 5.7 stage and a vac booster. I noticed the difference between the LX vacs and 5.7s. When I have used the LX version I always had to deal with left over water in the hoses. The 5.7s in parallel had more power as I notice with my hands and the hose line will be free of water. This means the 5.7s pulls more water out of the carpet because if the water sits in the hose line will reduce the water movement. Up to 75 feet the LX vacs work great but after that the LX vacs won't have enough cfm to move water out of the carpet. Why do you think Mytee decided to add the 3rd LX vac in their new escape plus. I don't have to use a booster with the 5.7s and I am still getting excellent suction for at least 125 feet.
