This 4 gallon solution tank is made specifically for carpet shampooing. When used in conjunction with a carpet bonnet, or a carpet scrubbing brush, you can easily dispense solution as you scrub. The solution tank can also be used to dispense solution on floors for scrubbing or stripping, but was manufactured with carpet scrubbing in mind. For other models and colors, please take a look at our complete selection of shampoo tanks.

This solution tank will only fit onto any size and brand floor buffer. Please note that some floor buffers require a smaller 3/8″ diameter hose. We offer a 1/2″ to 3/8″ O.D. conversion kit that will allow this tank to be attached correctly to these machines. We also have a full line of rotary floor scrubbing buffers available if you are in need of a new machine as well.
