Description
Small shop vacuums choke and lose suction when flood remediation crews pull hundreds of gallons of muddy water out of soaked basements. The Powr-Flite PF58 20 Gallon Polyethylene Dual Motor Wet / Dry Vacuum with Toolkit delivers high liquid containment with dual-motor vacuum power. It holds 20 Gallons of slurry. Moving the unit across steps requires two workers.
The recovery canister uses rotational-molded high-density polyethylene that resists chemical degradation from flood contaminants and harsh biocides. Dual two-stage bypass vacuum motors run on independent circuits to allow single or dual motor operation depending on suction requirements. A heavy-duty tubular steel cart features wide-stance non-marking transport wheels and an integrated tipping frame.
Dual Motor Slurry Extraction Architecture
Dual independent motor switches let operators run one motor for light dusting or fire both motors for maximum waterlift suction on soaked carpets. The built-in drain hose empties collected flood water directly into sanitary drains.
- 20 Gallon rotational-molded poly tank withstands heavy impact and corrosive flood sanitizing chemicals.
- Dual commercial bypass vacuum motors generate massive combined suction for rapid water extraction.
- Separate motor rocker switches allow single or dual motor operation to match jobsite electrical limits.
- Flexible rear drain hose discharges wastewater straight into floor drains without tipping the heavy tank.
- Tubular steel transport cart features large rear wheels to roll smooth across carpet transitions and rough slabs.
- Washable cloth filter assembly traps fine drywall dust and soot during disaster restoration projects.
- Complete commercial toolkit includes a 10-foot crushproof hose, steel wands, floor squeegee, and crevice tool.
Dual Motor Airflow Bench Telemetry
Running both vacuum motors simultaneously draws 15.0 Amps from a dedicated 120 Volt circuit under full waterlift load. Motor housing surface temperature stabilizes at 138°F after 45 minutes of continuous flood water extraction. The dual-motor core generates 86 inches of waterlift suction at 192 CFM combined airflow. Operating sound emissions register 78 dBA at five feet.
Disaster Restoration Scope Field Directives
Water damage restoration contractors, commercial building managers, and industrial plant cleaners recover bulk water fast with this dual-motor rig. Do not run both motors on a shared 15 Amp branch circuit with other equipment because inrush current will trip circuit breakers. Never vacuum hot soot or flammable solvents.
- Flush the recovery tank and drain hose with clean water and disinfectant after every flood remediation job.
- Inspect the motor dome foam gaskets for air leaks and re-seat gaskets every 30 days of active service.
- Wash the cloth filter bag in warm water and hang dry before switching back to dry vacuuming tasks.
