THOMAS DryBOX Amfibia Family, the washing vacuum cleaner made in Germany, the real German quality and reliability
THOMAS vacuum cleaner with AquaBOX or Aquafilter water filter will help clear the air of allergens. During cleaning, the vacuum cleaner retains 100% of dust and 99.99% of pollen. To work in the air cleaner mode, turn on the device for 5-10 minutes without connecting the hose. All allergens will settle in the water, and the air will become fresh.
THOMAS vacuum cleaner with liquid collection function can quickly collect water from the floor. It can suck up between 2.6 and 20 liters of water in one go (depending on the model). This is a useful feature for household and emergency situations.
It is possible to reduce cleaning time if you have a DryBOX cyclone vacuum cleaner. The innovative technology of fractional dust separation allows you not to empty the dust container after each cleaning, the suction power does not drop, and the dust remains securely locked inside the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner is always ready to work.
Cleaning with pleasure is possible if you have a reliable assistant. THOMAS vacuum cleaners are true German quality. Vacuums for wet and dry cleaning, for allergy sufferers and pet owners, for parquet, professional and cordless - choose your model for perfect cleaning.
To save money on buying filter bags, choose a vacuum cleaner with an AquaBOX or Aquafilter water filtration system or a DryBOX cyclonic filter. The water filter is easy to rinse with water after cleaning and the DryBOX does not need to be cleaned after each use.
Use the DryBox cyclonic filter during cleaning to easily remove accidentally collected items from the vacuum cleaner. The design of the dust collector makes it easy to "salvage" accidentally picked up items, such as children's designer details, hairpins, buttons, etc., without removing the dust.
Cleaning your carpet with THOMAS washing vacuum cleaner is easy. Prepare the vacuum cleaner for wet cleaning, use a wide cleaning nozzle. For the best effect, we recommend adding THOMAS ProTex to the water. At the end, vacuum the carpet without supplying a cleaning solution to dry it.
To get rid of allergens, use a vacuum cleaner with a water filter. THOMAS vacuum cleaners with AquaBOX or Aquafilter humidify the air and purify it from allergens, retaining 99.99% of dust and 100% of pollen.

It is recommended to wash and dry the water-repellent filters in the AquaBOX lid after each cleaning.

If the suction power has decreased, it's time to wash the HEPA filter.

  1. First, tap the dry filter on a hard surface;
  2. Then gently rinse the entire surface of the filter under running water WITHOUT using brushes or detergents.
  3. Even if the filter has turned grey, it can still trap dust perfectly. After washing, dry the filter at room temperature.

The motor protection filter with activated carbon cannot be washed, it can only be tapped out lightly.

The micro exhaust filter in the lower rear part of the vacuum cleaner is not serviceable and must be replaced.

For maximum efficiency of the entire filtration system, the manufacturer recommends changing all the filters together (the whole set) вon average once every 12 months, but this depends on how the cleaner is used (frequency of cleaning, contamination level in the room, etc.).

The process of washing a carpet occurs when water is supplied to the washing nozzle while the nozzle is moved along the surface.

The washing solution, under pressure, penetrates deep into the pile of the carpet, washing away all the dirt from the depths.

Wet and more elastic fibres of the carpet are straightened by the suction force and the surface becomes evenly fluffy. At the same time, residual moisture will be present on the surface and in the depths of the carpet.

To remove the water, change the angle of the nozzle, press it down on the carpet with a little force and collect the water in a ""pulling"" motion. For maximum effect, do this several times until no more water drops appear on the nozzle.

The transparent plastic of the nozzle makes it possible to control how the water is absorbed.

The amount of water sprayed onto the carpet by a vacuum cleaner and collected in the AquaBOX may vary by 2 or more times.

This is normal - some moisture remains in the carpet and dries out in a few hours.

It is not recommended to add aromatic (essential) oils to the water during dry or wet cleaning!

Fats promote the adhesion of debris and dust particles to the parts and filters of the vacuum cleaner. This makes it difficult to maintain the vacuum cleaner after cleaning and shortens the service life of replaceable filters.
