this Uk company supply an excellent water filtration vac at a very attractive price and it's easy to use - some others are not - and i can reccomend it from personal use.

As part of the  ' healthy homes ' concept, there have been a number of these machines around for some time, with some selling for as much as fifteen hundred pounds.

the hydro vac is less than two hundred pounds and will do what the others do.

if you want to get into the Allergen control market, I believe this is an essential tool, as it's the only vac system  that truly encapsulates allergens, mites. etc and you can show your client the evidence.........you can olso add a fragrance which will remain in the atmosphere long after the machine has been used.

Obviously, I'm a fan.....it also does what a well known vac company claims, but fails to deliver.......you get max power 100% of the time.

thanks rob, thats great, you guessed right, it is to get someway into the allergen market, and increase services provided, i had seen the 'rainbow' £1500!! and wondered if i needed to spend that to get a good one, i know now i dont,  thanks.

regards craig.

oh is it the 'mastervac yes hydro' you recommend rob ?

It's listed at one ninety nine and there is a turbo, or power brush, which greatly enhance it's performance.

The one you mention, is used by a franchise, but I'm sure the 'Yes' is well up to the job.

I purchased a Neptune water filter vac back in 2001.I must say it was the worst ever business decision that I have ever made!! what a load of rubish and at £500 !! very expensive rubbish

Craig,a low cost option is the h2o vac that has been advertised on tv for quite some time.
I don't have one so can't comment on performance but at least you get up to 60 days to try it and if not up to spec send it back for a refund.

Don't know the h2o but it looks a bit delicate, whereas the Yes is a commercial standard machine.

I agree that the Neptune is very poor and fiddly to set up, also, it has several additional filters, which kind of defeats the purpose.

I owned a neptune..........didn't like it...........binned it...............also owned a Yes, which is an excellent and easy to use machine.

I had a neptune one. It added a huge amount of time to my pre-vacuuming. It was fiddly, messy and a pain in the backside.

The best thing I did was to bin it and use a Sebo.
