What Makes a Sump Pump Vacuum Superior?
When evaluating the performance of sump pump vacuums, Connell Pierce, Business Development for Midwest Remediation in Indianapolis, conducted a hands-on demonstration to compare three options: a truck mount, a popular name-brand portable, and the Nilfisk ATTIX 19AE Sump Pump Vacuum "Flood Sucker". The results were surprising.
As expected, the truck mount machine delivered a powerful performance, efficiently moving large volumes of water. This confirmed Pierce’s preference for using truck mounts in single-story buildings where proximity to the loss area is possible.
However, the real revelation came when comparing portable units. “The ATTIX Flood Sucker outperformed the most-used portable in our industry, leaving less water in the carpet, and operating on just one circuit, making it much more convenient on job sites,” Pierce explained. “It’s also quieter and compatible with the Hydro-X, our preferred extraction tool for its efficiency and ease of use.”
Following this demonstration, the Nilfisk ATTIX 19AE Sump Pump Vacuum became the preferred portable sump pump vacuum for Midwest Remediation. It excelled in several key areas:
- Surpassed expectations in a head-to-head comparison with leading portable sump pump vacuums
- Compatible with all extraction tools
- Portable, quiet, and compact design
- Capable of collecting and discharging nearly 1 gallon of water per second
- Offers both automatic and manual discharge options
- Uses only one circuit
- Easy to clean/wash-out
- Ran for 1.5 hours with no noticeable increase in heat or strain on vacuum
