There are many potential applications for pressure washers, both hot and cold. The addition of accessories for these machines adds even more applications. Today at Hydro Tek we’re going to go over industrial water vacuums and their potential applications.

What do industrial vacuums do?

Put simply, an industrial water vacuum allows you total control of where the waste water goes after you use your pressure washing equipment. This is very important if you’re cleaning hazardous materials or oil, or if you’re using cleaning chemicals that have the potential to harm the environment. These industrial water vacuums are capable of both vacuuming up waste water and pumping it into a bulk tank, sewer, or landscape at the same time. That’s right – there are no frustrating delays in the cleanup process.

We offer two models of gas-powered vacuum recovery systems

One of our top sellers is the RGV Gas Vac. It’s powered by an engine and has a water recovery system with pump out. You can use it with one or two separate pickup devices, whichever works best for you. It’s a top choice by facilities maintenance contractors who want to collect their wash water, and it’s a top choice for restoration contractors too, when they need to pick up water after a flood, fire, or other disaster.

Our unique options offer all the services you need

Our vacuum recovery systems feature special polyethylene separation tanks. This is a huge advantage because they aren’t corrosive, they weigh much less than the typical 50-gallon steel drums, and they offer easy access so you can clean and maintain them by simply lifting off the lid. You can also open the large 1.5-inch valve in order to purge all sludge and solids that may settle at the bottom of the tank.

Each of the separation tanks also has its own automatic transfer system. This pumps water out to your bulk tank, your sanitary sewer (if permitted), or your landscape. Why deal with heavy tipping to dump your tanks when we’ve made it so easy for you?

Features of our products

The list of features is long and if you really want to know which options are best for you, contact Hydro Tek at 800-274-9376 . We can answer your questions, send spec sheets, and offer whatever type of assistance you need. In the meantime, check out the fantastic features:

• These vacuum recovery systems are entirely self-contained, which means you don’t need a generator or even a 110v plug for your transfer pumps. Instead, your transfer pumps connect directly to an on-board 12v battery.
• A lift-out strainer basket gets rid of large debris before its emptied into a separation tank that protects transfer pumps.
• Quick-plug connectors work for high-water shutdown and transfer pumps.
• An air throttle valve on the vacuum tank, which allows for precise control of air flowing even when using different pickup devices or hoses of different lengths.
