What is Dirty Water Tank Capacity?
The volume of extracted dirty water the machine can hold before needing to be emptied.
Definition
This specification indicates the maximum volume of dirty water and extracted debris the recovery tank can hold, also measured in ounces (oz). A larger dirty tank capacity often correlates with a larger clean solution tank, allowing you to complete a cleaning cycle without needing to empty the dirty water mid-task.
Why It Matters
An adequate dirty water tank prevents frequent emptying interruptions, especially important when tackling larger spills or cleaning multiple items, ensuring a more seamless cleaning process.
What to Look For
A capacity equal to or greater than the clean solution tank is ideal for continuous cleaning.
