Rapid Water Removal: Meet the Floodman


September 10, 2024

When flooding strikes, time is of the essence. Water damage can quickly escalate, causing significant harm to properties, businesses and industrial operations. That’s where the Big Brute Floodman comes in, offering a rapid solution to wastewater clean-up. With its powerful suction and continuous operation, it’s designed to make flood recovery quick and efficient.

What is the Big Brute Floodman?

The Big Brute Floodman is an industrial vacuum cleaner like no other. It’s specially engineered for floodwater removal, tackling even the messiest of situations with ease. The machine sucks up water at an impressive rate of one gallon per second and pumps it out automatically, allowing you to clean up large areas in a fraction of the time it would take with traditional equipment. The best part? It doesn’t stop suctioning while it pumps, meaning there’s no pause in the cleanup process.

Whether you’re dealing with a flood or need to keep on top of continuous cleaning operations, the Floodman is built to take areas from completely flooded to just damp in one seamless sweep.

Key features of the Big Brute Floodman

Continuous suction and pumping

One of the standout features of the Floodman is its ability to suck up liquids and automatically pump them out simultaneously. Unlike other machines that require pauses to empty their contents, the Floodman keeps working non-stop. This is especially beneficial when speed and efficiency are critical, such as in flood recovery situations.

Versatility in handling different materials

Floods don’t just bring water—they can carry all kinds of debris along with them. The Floodman is designed to handle more than just water. It can cope with stones and other solids. Thanks to an internal sieve with 6.4mm-diameter holes, larger solids are easily separated, ensuring smooth operation without blockages.

Powerful pumping capacity

The built-in pump is another key feature that sets the Floodman apart. It’s designed to empty the machine faster than it can suck up water, which means you get continuous operation without the need for downtime. This level of efficiency makes it an ideal choice for flood clean-up, where time is a major factor.

When should you use the Big Brute Floodman?

The Floodman isn’t just for emergencies—it’s perfect for any situation where you need rapid water removal or ongoing liquid clean-up. Here’s where it shines:

  • Flood recovery: If you’re dealing with the aftermath of heavy rain or a burst pipe, the Floodman will help get the water out quickly, minimising damage and downtime.
  • Continuous cleaning: In areas that require regular liquid clean-up, the Floodman’s non-stop operation is invaluable.

What shouldn’t it be used for?

While the Floodman is a powerhouse for liquid clean-up, it’s important to know what it’s not designed for. Avoid using it with:

  • Dry materials: The Floodman is built for wet conditions and liquids.
  • Flammable liquids: Safety is key—this machine isn’t suitable for hazardous substances.
  • Zoned areas: It’s not designed for use in areas where there’s a risk of explosion or other hazards.
  • Sludge removal

Why Choose the Big Brute Floodman?

Compared to traditional water removal methods, the Big Brute Floodman stands out for its speed, power and continuous operation. Conventional vacuums often require frequent stops to empty their contents, slowing down the recovery process. The Floodman’s ability to suck and pump simultaneously saves time, effort and resources, making it an essential tool for anyone dealing with floods or large-scale liquid clean-up.

Whether you’re a business needing to safeguard your property from water damage or managing an industrial site with ongoing liquid waste, the Floodman offers an efficient solution. Its versatility in handling water, along with its robust build, ensures that it will last through many tough jobs.
