Kev Martin:
A 90 Litre Wet Vacuum
Mike Halliday:
If you are talking about vaccing up a thickslurry after scrubbing then a specific hard floor wand that rinses
But if it’s just soiled water the a wet vac within a sqeegy would be ok

How thick is slurry after scrubbing compared to the slurry after grinding in your experience? Because I have ground limestone with “00” Metal Bond Diamonds which creates really thick slurry (almost a sludge) yet with a quick flooding a good 90 litre wet vac with a decent squeegee head makes short work of it. Whereas I would have thought putting the same slurry through a Truckmount would very quickly do it damage or certainly not do it any good!
In my mind a hard floor wand is just that! They were developed for Carpet Cleaners to clean the odd hard floor! Yet more and more CC’ers are encouraged to use them for much heavier work for which they are not suited to.

You’re right Kev, maybe if you had said that instead of your first answer of ‘a 90lt wet vac’ it might have been clearer .
And is a thick slurry still a thick slurry when you have give it a ‘quick flooding’? Or are you liquefying it’s so it’s easier to pick up and once it’s liquefied then a truckmount will much easier pick it up with more power and from a Greater distance. The slurry would go nowhere near the truckmount to cause any damage, it would collect in the waste tank, especially after being rinsed with a hard floor wand which would make the slurry very wet
You are misunderstanding my first reply I’m suggesting a hard floor wand not to clean a hard floor but to rinse a floor after the primary cleaning has taken place..
