What’s the longest length of hose that anybody is used on there sludge sucker with any reliability?
I looked and looked and all I can find is it comes with 25 feet of hose but I’m just wondering if anybody has successfully pumped 50,75 or 100 feet with it?
I was thinking about picking one up and running a long hose out to my trailer to an older tote so so when I’m cleaning greasy kitchens I could suck the puddles up and just pump it into the tote tank.
Possibly I could also upcharge to clean out their grease trap in the kitchen.
I don’t think it’s really designed for that distance, mine just has a 6’ stiff vac hose on it. Works by venturi effect so putting any sort of backpressure on it would reduce or eliminate the way it works.
But let the other guys with more experience chime in.

I use a 50 foot backwash pool hose… no issues at all!

Not sure if it’ll travel more than 25’ reliably and then also go up into the top of a tote. But you could always stage an empty barrel halfway between the truck and whatever you’re emptying, and then go from the barrel into the ibc. Those things will empty a 50-gallon barrel in about 20 seconds. You could even put multiple barrels if you’re parked too far away
