Tornado Taskforce 17 Wet/Dr...

Product details

Seventeen gallons in a polyethylene tank is what the Tornado Taskforce 17, part 94230, brings to a soaked hallway or a construction pile-up, enough headroom to work a job start to finish without pausing every few minutes to empty. It runs on 115V through a 30 foot cord, and Tornado fits the same 1.61 HP, 1200 watt motor found across the range, rated at 114 CFM with 90 inches of water lift. At a listed 36 pounds it is lighter than the stainless-bodied Taskforce models despite carrying more volume than most of them.

One chassis handling both liquid and dry debris means a single unit sees a cleanup call through from start to finish: water off the floor first, then whatever dry material is left once things dry out. A rear drain hose empties the tank without tipping it, the head is sound insulated, and the whole machine sits on a mounted trolley so a full tank moves without being lifted.

  • Capacity: 17 gallons, polyethylene tank
  • Power: 115V, 1.61 HP, 1200 watts, 30 foot cord
  • Airflow: 114 CFM, 90 inch water lift
  • Hose: 1.5 inch by 10 foot with swivel connector
  • Filtration: washable filter, removed from the float cage for cleaning
  • Size and weight: 24 by 18 by 36 inches, 36 pounds

Seventeen gallons covers most single-room floods, but plan on a mid-job dump for a larger event and never let the tank run past its fill line, since wet/dry vacuums restrict airflow near full rather than overflowing cleanly. Use the rear drain hose rather than tipping a full tank. Rinse after liquid pickup before the machine sits closed in storage, since standing liquid left in a sealed tank is a common source of odor complaints on shared equipment, and give it time to air dry with the lid off. Check the float for free movement while the tank is open. Ships to you in 2-5 business days.
