Industrial Wet Vac review

industrial wet vac

An industrial wet vac, also known as a wet/dry vacuum or shop vac, is a powerful cleaning tool designed to remove wet and dry debris from floors and surfaces. Here are some advantages of using an industrial wet vac:

  1. Versatility: Industrial wet vacs can handle both wet and dry debris, making them a versatile cleaning tool for a wide range of applications. They can be used to clean up spills, remove debris from construction sites, and even vacuum up water from flooded areas.
  2. Power: Industrial wet vacs are typically more powerful than standard household vacuums, allowing them to handle tough cleaning jobs with ease. They are also designed to handle large volumes of debris, making them an efficient cleaning tool for industrial and commercial settings.
  3. Efficiency: Industrial wet vacs are able to remove large volumes of debris quickly and efficiently, reducing the time and effort required for cleaning. This can save businesses time and money on labor costs.
  4. Improved Air Quality: Industrial wet vacs typically have a filtration system that removes dust and other particles from the air, improving indoor air quality. This is particularly important in industrial and commercial settings where air quality can have a significant impact on employee health and productivity.
  5. Durability: Industrial wet vacs are designed to withstand heavy use and are built with durable materials, making them a long-lasting cleaning tool. They are also easy to maintain and repair, reducing downtime and repair costs.

An industrial wet vac need to be robust, have a large capacity and easy to empty.

We have researched probably all of the industrial wet vacuum cleaners on the market that fit this criteria

Industrial wet & dry vacuums are designed for increased performance in all cleaning applications. With a wet & dry vacuum you have increased options for cleaning with one single machine. All vacuums in this category will come with both wet & dry filters and a selection of tooling options.

The ranges seem only to have a variation of two types.

Empty by release pipe or Auto pump out

The other notable variety of an industrial wet vacuum cleaner is the capacity which varies from 20 to 100 litres.

We have concentrated on the higher capacity industrial wet vac’s as restoration usually involves a lot of surface water.
