NaceCare WV 900: The 12-Gallon Commercial Wet Dry Vacuum for Real Volumes of Water
The floor crew just stripped a 3,000 square foot cafeteria and there's a lake of slurry between the tables. With a 4-gallon vac, that's a dozen trips to the slop sink. The NaceCare WV 900 commercial wet dry vacuum holds 12 gallons in a structural foam tank that won't dent or rust, and when it's full you drain it through the dump tube into a floor drain, or tip it forward and pour if there isn't one.
A 1,200-watt bypass motor (1.6 HP) pulls 95 cfm with 100 inches of water lift, the 42-foot cord reaches across a gym or cafeteria from one outlet, and it runs at 64 dB(A). Pick the tool kit that fits the job: wet and dry, wet only, or a 29-inch front-mounted squeegee for wide open floors.
The Owner's Insights on the WV 900
The WV 900 is the wet vac I'd hand a custodial crew that strips floors, picks up behind a scrubber or deals with the occasional leak. The tank and head are structural foam, the material NaceCare backs for 10 years, so it doesn't mind being bumped through door frames every night.
Two honest notes. At 44 lbs empty it's a rolling machine, not one you carry up stairs, and 12 gallons of water adds about 100 lbs more, which is why the dump tube matters. And if all you handle is the odd spill, the 6-gallon CV 570 or the 4-gallon CVC 370 costs less and fits in a closet. Buy the WV 900 when the water comes by the bucket.
Why You'll Love the WV 900 12-Gallon Wet Dry Vac
12-gallon structural foam tank. Rustproof, dent-resistant and covered by NaceCare for 10 years.
Dump tube plus tip and pour. Drain into a floor drain, or tip the tank forward and pour when there isn't one.
1,200 W bypass motor, 100 inches of water lift. Strong enough to pull slurry out of grout lines and off textured tile.
Rotating ball float shutoff. The float closes before water can reach the motor, and vapor barriers can be added for extra protection.
Optional 29-inch front-mounted squeegee. Push the machine down a hallway and it gathers and picks up water in one pass.
0.5 micron dry filtration at 98.6%. With the BB8 or BOW kit, the bag and filter keep fine dust in the tank.
42-foot cord, 64 dB(A). Fewer outlet changes, and quiet enough for an occupied building.
Which Tool Kit? Wet and Dry, Wet Only, or a 29-Inch Squeegee
Every WV 900 is the same machine. The kit decides what it does best.
BB8 kit (833347), $1,149. 10-foot hose, 3-piece stainless steel wand, 16-inch wet floor tool with squeegee blades and a 16-inch dry brush tool. The all-rounder for hard floors.
BOW kit (K-8026580), $1,149. Same hose, wand and wet tool, with a 12-inch dry combination tool instead of the brush. The better pick if it also vacuums mats and carpet.
BS7 kit (K-899650), $90 less. 10-foot hose, wand and 16-inch wet floor tool. A wet pickup kit for crews that only ever pick up water.
C2 kit (K-899784), $100 more than BB8. The 29-inch front-mounted squeegee on its own, for picking up water across wide, open floors after stripping or a leak.
C2 Combo (K-8026582), $150 more than C2. The squeegee plus a 9-foot hose, stainless steel wand with volume-control bend and a 12-inch wet floor tool, so you can reach the corners and under counters too.
BS7, C2 and C2 Combo are NaceCare's wet pickup configurations. If you also want to vacuum dry debris with it, pick BB8 or BOW. Not sure which fits? Send us your floor types and what you pick up most, or call (855) 601-5678, and we'll tell you.
WV 900 or Another Commercial Wet Vac?
Mostly small spills? The NaceCare CV 570 CombiVac holds 6 gallons and switches between wet and dry without a filter change, for $150 less. The 4-gallon NaceCare CVC 370 Charles is $520 less and weighs 19 lbs.
Want a squeegee for less? The Tornado Taskforce 20 has a 20-gallon stainless steel tank and a front-mounted squeegee for $422 less than the WV 900 with the C2 kit. It's honestly a strong value. The WV 900 gives you more water lift (100 inches against 90), a 42-foot cord against 30 feet, a dump tube and a 10-year tank warranty.
Need twice the tank? The NaceCare WV 1800DH holds 20 gallons with a dump hose, $340 more with the same BS7 kit. Compare them all in our commercial wet dry vacuums collection.
