How To Improve Water Flow On A Tennant T3

Does your Tennant T3 pedestrian scrubber dryer have water flowing from just one pad or poor water flow? This video will show you simple things you can do to improve the water flow on your floor scrubber before needing to call an engineer

Perfect, this is exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks!

Awesome thanks!

Filter gets clogged with a slime like coating. Any suggestions on what could be the problem; too much Chemical?

[@CleaningequipmentservicesCoUk]

Hi Jonathan, it will either be too much chemical (use less), a chemical which congeals too easily (try a different chemical), or chemical that has sat in the tank for too long (flush the tank out at least once a week). Hope this helps!

While scrubbing the floor the foam is not coming from down and water is also coming out less whats the problem i dont understand

[@CleaningequipmentservicesCoUk]

Have you followed the steps in the video?

[@KM-my9zy]

water flow is very poor. I fill the water to the top 40L, the filter is clean and the knob is to turned to the left. I am not sure what the problem is

If this works i will give you a like

Mine doesn’t have a filter on it. It should. Did everything else still crappy water flow ugh

[@CleaningequipmentservicesCoUk]

Hi Jayne, if the filter is missing then you probably have soap sludge or limescale blocking the pipes. Ideally you need to remove and clean the pipes and fit a filter in although that's a big job. A quick fix you could try is: Step 1) Attach a garden hose to the water pipe at the front of the machine - Step 2) switch on the machine with the brush running so the water solenoid is open - Step 3) Turn on the tap for the hose - This will run high pressure water backwards through the pipes to clear any blockages. Whatever caused the blockage will end up in the clean water tank of the machine, so fit a filter after you have done this to stop it going back down the pipes again. Hope this helps!

I'm getting too much foam at the scrubbing pad. Any idea what's causing that?

Eric Carrillo too much cleaning solution

[@CleaningequipmentservicesCoUk]

Hi Eric! If you have the model with the 'FAST' function it will apply foam to the pad/brushes. FAST stands for Foam Activated Scrubbing Technology. This system mixes soap from the FAST soap pack with a little bit of water and is designed to use less water. If you don't want to use this feature it can be switched off by the 'FAST' switch near the on/off key. If you aren't using the FAST feature and you're getting too much foam, then you're either putting too much soap in the water tank or you're using a chemical which foams up like such as washing liquid. It is important to use a low foam chemical in scrubber dryers because if foam builds up in the dirty water tank it will get sucked into the vacuum motor and will eventually ruin the motor.

Mine t3 has a leak at the bottom do you know what might be causing it to leak ?

[@CleaningequipmentservicesCoUk]

Hi, yes, if its leaks a bit then stops, it's the water left over in the pipes and pads. To avoid this switch off the scrubbing action a minute before you switch off the vacuum and park the machine. If it continually leaks then you have something trapped in the water solenoid (the electric tap) such as a hair which is stopping it from shutting off the water flow completely. Let me know if you would like me to put a video on here showing you how to clean out the water solenoid.

Too much water flow t7

[@CleaningequipmentservicesCoUk]

Hi Carlos - there are buttons on the control panel to increase and decrease the waterflow :-)
