New NSS ALPHA 24 FMS Canister Vacuum
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The Alpha 24 FMS is the Alpha 24 wet/dry vac with the front mount squeegee already on it, and that squeegee is the reason to buy this version. When a crew strips floors, the slurry has to come up before it dries, and doing that with a hose and wand is slow and hard on the operator. With the squeegee mounted on the front, the operator just pushes the vac across the floor and pulls up the slurry or standing water in wide passes. NSS calls out quick spill cleanup, large-area cleaning and slurry pickup when stripping as the jobs it is built for. The 24 gal polyethylene tank is the largest in the Alpha line, the 1.34 hp two-stage bypass motor moves 106 CFM with 94 in of water lift, and a 2 ft drain hose empties it into a floor drain. You still get the 8 ft hose and the wet/dry tool kit for corners, drains and dry debris. If you only need a hose-and-wand vac, the standard Alpha 24 is the simpler choice.”

Questions
NSS Alpha 24 FMS: common questions
Can it pick up both water and dry debris?
Yes. The Alpha is a wet/dry vacuum and comes with a wet/dry tool kit: wand, squeegee tool, carpet tool, round brush and crevice tool.
How do I empty it?
The 24 gal tank has a 2 ft drain hose, so you can drain it into a floor drain or mop sink without lifting and tipping a full tank.
How strong is the motor?
Every Alpha uses a 1.34 hp (1,000 W) two-stage bypass motor rated at 106 CFM of airflow and 94 in of water lift.
What is the front mount squeegee for?
NSS designed it for quick spill cleanup, large-area cleaning and slurry pickup when stripping floors. The operator pushes the vac and the squeegee gathers the liquid, instead of working every foot with a hose and wand.
How long is the power cord?
The Alpha has a 28 ft (8.5 m) 16-3 SJT cord. The 8 ft suction hose adds more reach from the machine.
