Frequently Asked Questions

What is the massive advantage of the 'Washable PET Filter'?

In older vacuums, you had to physically stop the machine and remove the paper filter before sucking up water, or the filter would be destroyed. The Nilfisk VL500 uses an advanced PET fleece filter that is completely waterproof, allowing you to seamlessly transition from vacuuming dry dust straight to sucking up a puddle of water.

Do I need to use paper bags with this vacuum?

If you are only vacuuming dry dust, it is highly recommended to use a disposable synthetic or paper bag to make emptying the 35L tank clean and mess-free. However, if you are extracting liquids or wet mud, you must NOT use a paper bag; simply let the liquid fill the plastic tank.

Is the 1200W motor powerful enough to suck up heavy water?

Absolutely. The 1200W commercial motor is specifically engineered with high 'water-lift' capabilities. It generates terrifying suction pressure, easily ripping heavy, dirty scrub-water and floodwater off concrete and tiled floors in a single pass.

How do I empty the 35-Litre tank when it is full of water?

When the massive tank is full, it will be quite heavy. You simply unclip the motor head, lift it off, and you can easily tip the liquid out of the heavy-duty plastic canister directly into a commercial drain or janitor's sink.

Will the vacuum automatically stop when the tank is full of water?

Yes. Premium commercial wet vacuums like the VL500 are equipped with an internal float valve. As the water level rises inside the 35L tank, the float rises and physically seals off the motor intake, changing the pitch of the motor to alert you that it is time to empty it.

Can I use this to clean my carpets?

Yes! When fitted with a dry combination floor tool or a turbo head, the terrifying suction of the 1200W motor makes it a highly effective dry vacuum for commercial carpets. (Note: It is an extractor, not a carpet shampooer; it does not spray water).

Is the machine easy to move around?

Yes. Despite weighing 11.5kg, it is mounted on a heavy-duty trolley base with large rear wheels and multi-directional front castors. It glides smoothly over rough factory floors and features a push-handle for highly ergonomic transport.

How do I clean the PET filter?

Because the PET filter is waterproof, maintenance is incredibly easy. You simply remove the filter from the machine and rinse it thoroughly under a running tap to flush out the trapped mud and dust. Allow it to air dry before reinstalling.

Is 10 metres of cord long enough?

A 10-meter commercial power cord provides an excellent cleaning radius for workshops and commercial kitchens, allowing you to maneuver around large rooms and equipment without constantly needing to find a new power outlet.

Can it suck up toxic dust like silica or asbestos?

NO. The standard PET filter is excellent for general commercial dirt and liquids, but it is NOT certified for hazardous dust. To extract highly toxic, carcinogenic dust like asbestos or silica, you MUST use a specialized 'H-Class' safety vacuum.

Will it survive in a rough industrial workshop?

Absolutely. The Nilfisk VL500 series is famous for its extreme durability. The 35L tank and trolley chassis are forged from heavy-duty, impact-resistant polymers designed specifically to survive the brutal abuse of construction sites and commercial trades.

Do you offer trade pricing for commercial cleaning companies?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides highly competitive volume pricing and trade accounts for commercial cleaning contractors, flood restoration teams, and facility managers ordering heavy-duty industrial vacuums. Contact us to establish your account.
