Isn’t cfm that is lost in the hose? Not so much water lift.
Some Time Less vaccum is better option.

Vacuum is similar to a pressure system. Psi = lift
Flow = cfm. The longer the run the lower the flow. The psi or lift remains fairly constant. The longer the hose the more resistance to the flow. The orifice at the end of the hose will become larger in relation to the flow and than the psi drops. If the orifice is closed completely the psi remains relatively constant.

That's exactly what happens, vac connections that don't leak stave off the loss, but distance is distance.

Practically no loss . In a 200’ run, 4” of lift is lost. Now measure the cfm over a 200’ hose run.

CFM IS all across the board...
One guy can measure 300 cfm another guy can measure 200 cfm on the same machine...
whether portable or TM....
best to go with FIELD TESTING
This is a projection of running both a
45 blower and 27hp
47 blower and 33-35hp
over 8-10 years of hose runs 100-350'
You will lose about 50 CFM for every 50' hose run...same for portable and TM.
I go by the 1/2 CFM rule..
take your CFM cut it in half and that will give you the maximum length of hose to run wo a mojor dropoff.
200 cfm = 100' hose run
400 CFM = 200' hose run

What poop looks like?
Normal poop is brown and has a soft to firm consistency. Normal poop is generally: ... Soft to firm in texture: Poop that is passed in one single piece or a few smaller pieces is typically considered to be a sign of a healthy bowel. The long, sausage-like shape of poop is due to the shape of the intestines.

I agree it’s hard to measure cfm as most do not have the proper equipment. However using your formula which I don’t dispute it’s becomes obvious that in a hose run the big loser is cfm not water lift. That one reason in our Escape ETM we have a 2.5” inlet fitting so if they desire the operator can run a long hose run with a minimum lost of cfm. Using 1.5” hose on a porty diminish the length of hose that can be run effectively.

The dumb thing I had at a previous company was being required to run 500 ft of hose through a retirement center off a Sapphire 1200 with a 50ft 1.5inch whip and use a 1.5 inch wand.
Water would literally fall out of the wand back onto the carpet. Got fired because I started going through different doors for shorter hose runs lol

"2.5” inlet fitting so if they desire the operator can run a long hose run with a minimum lost of cfm." Really????
The reason I used it was to lower the slot velocity incoming to the tank which is important for small waste tanks.
Yes if you run 50’ of 2.5” than your 150’ of 2” there is less restriction and so cfm levels are not compromised as much. Like sipping through a slupee straw compared to a bar straw.
