I was at the Atlantic city show and saw a company that manufactured a commercial carwash vac that used a 5-gallon bucket instead of the rubber pans that other use.
I was wondering if anyone had a link so I could check them out. Thank you in advance.
I dont know the exact size but Jim Coleman has Super Vacs that for lack of better word oval in nature. The dirt catcher is a large, larger than 5 gal, bin which i don't know why you would need ot that big. Personally inhave never let those bins get any where close to half full.
I've never seen a 5 gallon bucket used as a dirt catcher in a self serve vacuum. We use the Hamel VB18812 Rubber Vacuum Dirt Canister https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-2149-hamel-vb18812-rubber-vacuum-dirt-canister.aspx and clean out the vacuums every 3 days and shake the bags down at least once a week. We get comments all the time at how well our vacuums suck.
It is Doyle Vacuum Systems, LLC. www.doylevacuum.com I ordered four at the show. They have 2 shop vac type pleated filters instead of filter bags, then the dirt falls dow into a 5 gal bucket for easy removal.
We've got a 5 gallon bucket (20 litre in our part of the world!) in the base of our vacs. I checked this morning and we have one Model 800000 (with fragrance and shampoo) and one Model 200000 (vacuum only).
Ours have 3 x pleated cylindrical filters per vacuum that I find to be pretty good overall. We clean the filters 2 times per week. I probably only empty the buckets once every 2 months.
Based upon my limited and humble experience, we find these to be pretty good units. Happy to recommend.
