DryBOX Amfibia wet vacuum cleaner. Two filtration systems and nozzles for all surfaces. German production, innovation award
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 can help you remove stains from upholstered furniture. Prepare the vacuum cleaner for wet cleaning and use the narrow cleaning nozzle. Add ProTex or ProTex V cleaning concentrate to the water. Do not over saturate the fabric with moisture! Finally, vacuum without the detergent solution supply while drying the upholstery.
A vacuum cleaner can help you wash your carpet at home. The THOMAS vacuum cleaner rinses carpets down to the base of the pile by pumping pressurized water through a wide cleaning nozzle with a sharp edge. For best results, use a branded cleaning concentrate. Vacuum without water to dry the carpet.
You can clean the floor quickly and effortlessly with a standart or wireless washing vacuum cleaner. THOMAS vacuum cleaner constantly supplies clean water for washing, and sucks dirty water into a separate container. Washing nozzle with brush adapter perfectly copes with dirt and stains. For best results, use ProFloor cleaning concentrate.
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.
In order to wash parquet safely, use a minimum of liquid. Choose THOMAS AquaStealth nozzle, which is specially designed for wet cleaning of delicate hard surfaces. It will gently clean the parquet without scratches and direct contact with water, as well as dry the surface.
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.
Water filter - 100% pure and fresh air. Feel the difference!

The process of washing hard surfaces with a floor/carpet cleaning nozzle has its own characteristics.

During wet cleaning, water is supplied to the washing nozzle, and at the same time the brush of the hard surfaces adapter along the floor.

This may leave residual moisture on the floor covering.

In order to dry the surface, change the angle of the washing nozzle, press the rubber scraper on the adapter to the surface with a little force and collect the water by moving it towards you.

A rubber scraper with simultaneous supply of cleaning solution can also remove specific contaminants.

  • Then attach the detergent supply tube to the shut-off valve on the air hose and turn until it is fully secured;
  • Switch on the pump using the button on the vacuum cleaner body, then press the shut-off valve lever to supply water.

Direct wet cleaning occurs when the washing nozzle moves towards itself. Work strip by strip, lifting and repositioning the nozzle.

The aqua spray injector is fixed in the AquaBOX lid with rubber seals.

To remove the injector, simply pull it towards you, slightly rotating it in different directions.

Washing the aqua sprayer is a very important procedure, because it is responsible for the correct operation of the aquafilter system.

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.

To wash parquet/laminate flooring with the AquaStealth nozzle, press the detergent solution supply lever and at the same time move the nozzle away from you over the surface.

This will wet the surface and dissolve the dirt. Release the lever for cleaning solution supply and move it towards you - the nozzle will collect the liquid with dissolved dirt.

The residual moisture of the floor covering after wet cleaning is less than 1%.

The AquaStealth nozzle not only cleans, but also dries the floor.

When wet cleaning with the AquaStealth nozzle, the vacuum cleaner constantly supplies clean water and sucks dirty water into a separate tank.

After washing, the floor is perfectly clean, without streaks (unlike the floor after washing with a rag or mop). A napkin attached to the nozzle gently rubs the floor, giving it a slight shine and a well-groomed appearance.

For the ideal gentle and thorough dry cleaning of parquet and laminate floors, there are special nozzles with natural bristles.

These nozzles leave no scratches or other damage on delicate floor coverings.

The nozzle with natural horsehair and felt inserts also rubs and polishes the floor, giving parquet or laminate an additional light shine.

In order to quickly vacuum up spilled liquid with an AquaBOX vacuum cleaner, be sure to install a splash quarding insert in the AquaBOX!

  • Connect the air hose and telescopic tube to the vacuum cleaner;
  • Attach a carpet/floor switchable nozzle or a wide cleaning nozzle to the tube (with a hard surface adapter if you need to collect water from a smooth floor);
  • Turn on the vacuum cleaner and start collecting water by moving the nozzle towards you;
  • The vacuum cleaner can collect up to 2.6 liters of liquid at a time;
  • When the tank is full, the vacuum cleaner will automatically turn off.

If you need to continue working, pour out the collected water and turn the vacuum cleaner on again.

Special holes in the body of the vacuum cleaner make it easy to keep extra nozzles handy while cleaning.

For example, you can place a crevice nozzle, a brush or an upholstery nozzle in these holes while cleaning.

This way you always have small accessories at hand.

Some models of THOMAS vacuum cleaners are also equipped with a Vario Clip nozzle holder, which is attached to the tube or hose handle.

It is strictly prohibited to pour hot water into the clean water tank!

This may damage the cleaning solution supply system.

If necessary, you can fill the tank with slightly warm water, not exceeding 25-30 degrees.

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.

There are different ways to clean floor surfaces.

  • Soft floors can be cleaned with wet cleaning nozzles without an adapter. Otherwise, the residual moisture in soft coverings will be too high.
  • In order to wash hard floor coverings, a washing nozzle with an adapter is used (it’s called an adapter for washing hard surfaces).
  • A special AquaStealth washing nozzle is designed for washing parquet floors coated with varnish or mastic and other coverings that can't resist direct contact with water. When using this nozzle, water enters the floor surface through a special microfiber (cloth), and the cloth carefully cleans the surface without excess moisture.

The main difference between a parquet nozzle and a regular one is that through it water is not supplied directly to the floor surface, but to a special cloth, which then washes the floor.

A regular wet floor nozzle sprays water under pressure directly onto the floor. This method is great for tiles, linoleum, stone and other coverings that are not afraid of water.

Parquet nozzles, such as AquaStealth or the nozzle with cloth adapter, allow you to clean delicate floors just as thoroughly, but with a minimum amount of moisture. This ensures that the floor will not swell or bloat after wet cleaning.
