Each pair of vacuum motors is in series and then each pair of two is in parallel. We actually did make the Goliath in a 400 cfm X 100" water lift design but found the added inches is also important. The inches of lift is what lift the dirt and water out of the carpet and into the first two inches of the wand lip/head. The CFM is what takes the lifted water and dirt from the wand head back to the machine. The vacuum hoses inside the machine do not kink at all. The hoses have enough room.

@absoluteklean The motors are in a hybrid configuration of series / parallel. Upon closer inspection you would notice that of the 4 total motors, 2 of them a time are in series, and each series stack is plumbed in parallel to the tank. Its massive vacuum capabilities are due to high waterlift, and high CFM, reaching peak efficiency according to Ametek.

Seems like the motors being all in series would limit the amount of CFMs required for long runs such as the 200' you advertise. Also, when you close the unit, it looks as if the hoses crimp-up pretty bad. Can this be sold with all motors in parallel? That would be of interest.
