New Powr-Flite Gulper II Specialty Cleaner
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The first step on any flood job is getting the standing water out, and a regular extractor or wet vac fills up and has to be dumped over and over. The Gulper II PF85DX is built only for water recovery, so it doesn't stop to be emptied. It pulls water in through a 2 in by 25 ft vacuum intake hose, rated at 92 CFM and 135 in of water lift, into a 15 gal recovery tank. When the water reaches the right level, a self-priming pump automatically discharges it at up to 10 gallons per minute through an ordinary garden hose, so you can run the waste water to a drain or outside. An electronic float shuts the vacuum off if the tank fills and turns it back on once it drains. The pump sits in the equipment bay rather than in the recovery tank, and a waist-high stainless steel mesh filter catches debris before it reaches the pump. It runs on a single power cord, and one operator can load and unload it. The PF85 is the 5 gallons per minute version for lighter jobs.”

Questions
Powr-Flite PF85DX: common questions
How does the water get out of the machine?
Connect an ordinary garden hose to the discharge fitting. When the water reaches the right level, the pump discharges it automatically at up to 10 gallons per minute. Run the hose outside or to a drain that can handle large volumes of water.
What happens if the tank fills up?
The electronic float shuts off the vacuum motor to keep water out of it. Once the tank is pumped down, the vacuum turns back on automatically.
Can I use it for carpet cleaning?
No. Powr-Flite designed the Gulper II exclusively for water recovery. It has no solution tank or spray system.
Is a wand included?
Powr-Flite lists the Gulper flood pump wand as optional. Attach a wand or hand tool to the intake hose before you start.
