Who here has the Vac it Up system and have you changed motors to a more powerful model? I have noticed on my farthest runs to my vacs the suction has dropped off so I pulled the 124' of car-flex tubing out to each island to see if any holes or cracks none I even taped off one end and filled the tube with water and no leaks, bought a brand new motor from Vac it Up and still same results. The motor that Vac it up uses is a GSE Value Line 120V 50/60Hz I looking for something more powerful.

Buddy of mine put a second motor on his. He used a regular vac motor for the second.

New motor gasket was installed with new motor, I typed in the GSE Value Line into google and could find a actual company so I don't know if it's a Lamb motor or bob's basement motor company.

I use the lamb 116472. Did you check the back nut, to be sure the vac is sitting tight against the new seal? I know over time, I have had to make minor adjustments to these to be sure the vac is tight and sealed. I usually get those from Zoro when I have a coupon. makes them $75 with free shipping.
