Does your Tennant T3 pedestrian scrubber dryer have water flowing from just one pad or poor water flow? This video will show you simple things you can do to improve the water flow on your floor scrubber before needing to call an engineer
Hi Jonathan, it will either be too much chemical (use less), a chemical which congeals too easily (try a different chemical), or chemical that has sat in the tank for too long (flush the tank out at least once a week). Hope this helps!
Hi Eric! If you have the model with the 'FAST' function it will apply foam to the pad/brushes. FAST stands for Foam Activated Scrubbing Technology. This system mixes soap from the FAST soap pack with a little bit of water and is designed to use less water. If you don't want to use this feature it can be switched off by the 'FAST' switch near the on/off key. If you aren't using the FAST feature and you're getting too much foam, then you're either putting too much soap in the water tank or you're using a chemical which foams up like such as washing liquid. It is important to use a low foam chemical in scrubber dryers because if foam builds up in the dirty water tank it will get sucked into the vacuum motor and will eventually ruin the motor.
Hi Jayne, if the filter is missing then you probably have soap sludge or limescale blocking the pipes. Ideally you need to remove and clean the pipes and fit a filter in although that's a big job. A quick fix you could try is: Step 1) Attach a garden hose to the water pipe at the front of the machine - Step 2) switch on the machine with the brush running so the water solenoid is open - Step 3) Turn on the tap for the hose - This will run high pressure water backwards through the pipes to clear any blockages. Whatever caused the blockage will end up in the clean water tank of the machine, so fit a filter after you have done this to stop it going back down the pipes again. Hope this helps!
Hi, yes, if its leaks a bit then stops, it's the water left over in the pipes and pads. To avoid this switch off the scrubbing action a minute before you switch off the vacuum and park the machine. If it continually leaks then you have something trapped in the water solenoid (the electric tap) such as a hair which is stopping it from shutting off the water flow completely. Let me know if you would like me to put a video on here showing you how to clean out the water solenoid.
