Seddons’ Taskman pressure washer range includes the portable Mini Bowser Washer, which can be used in restricted areas where vehicle access is impossible.

The company offers pumps for drainage, flood defence and water transfer, and says the most popular models for the hire industry are 2in petrol-driven centrifugal, 3in diesel trash and 3in diesel diaphragm pumps. Demand is also reported to have grown steadily for 110V electric submersible
pumps and ‘puddle sucker’ units for domestic flooding situations. Spares and accessories are available, such as delivery and suction hoses. The flood restoration range also includes filtration systems for use in conjunction with pumps to remove contaminants that could otherwise pollute water.

The manufacturer says that, for effective drying, water vapour must be made airborne as efficiently as possible, and that, for optimum evaporation, the movement of air should be in direct contact with the surface being treated. The Velo low-profile air mover incorporates a fan that spins in the horizontal plane, rather than vertically, to enable the air flow to remain closer to the surface for longer, to give more effective drying.
