WasserschluckerThe folding catch tray for pumping out every last drop without a wet vac

The Wasserschlucker sits in the room corner at the lowest point and pools the residual water exactly where your submersible pump can pick it up. With the water squeegee, you push the rest over the 128 cm wide ramp into the tray until the floor is dry.

Submersible pump and water squeegee are not included. The pump is already on your vehicle, and you can get the matching professional water squeegee from us in a bundle.

How it works with pump and squeegee

Below its minimum water level, every submersible pump draws air, and the last of the water is left standing. The Wasserschlucker pools this residual water exactly where your pump can pick it up. With the water squeegee, you push the water over the flat ramp into the tray.

Calculate, don't guess

How often would you have to empty the wet vac?

Set the area and water depth. 1 mm of water on 1 m² is 1 liter.

The tank size is an example value. Set the size of your wet vac.

Residual water in the room 400 liters 40 m² × 10 mm = 400 liters

Wet vac 14 × Tank full, carry, empty and walk back
Wasserschlucker 0 × The submersible pump moves the water outside continuously through the hose.

Calculation: area in m² times water depth in mm equals liters. Number of emptyings: liters divided by the tank size, rounded up.

How it works

Four steps to a dry floor

From unfolding to stowing: this is how you get the residual water out of the room with pump, squeegee and Wasserschlucker.

The principle

Why the last of the water stays put and how you pump it out completely

Below its minimum water level, every submersible pump draws air, and the last of the water is left standing. The Wasserschlucker pools this residual water exactly where your pump can pick it up.

Compare for yourself
The film of water is below the minimum water level: the pump draws air and the rest is left standing. Behind the ramp, the residual water builds up above the minimum water level: the pump keeps pumping.

The practical difference

Residual water? Pump it out instead of vacuuming it up

After heavy rain, a burst pipe or a firefighting operation, the last of the water lies shallow across the room: too shallow for the submersible pump alone, too much for bucket and dustpan. This is exactly where the Wasserschlucker comes in.

With the wet vac

  • Vacuum until the tank is full, then carry, empty, go back
  • Keeps one firefighter tied to the machine the whole time
  • One more machine that has to be maintained, cleaned and dried
  • Bulky in the vehicle, heavy on the basement stairs

With the Wasserschlucker

  • Your submersible pump runs without interruption, and the water goes straight outside through the hose
  • One firefighter simply pushes the water over the ramp to the pump
  • No tank, no carrying, no emptying
  • Afterwards, rinse it, fold it and put it back in the equipment locker at 4.8 kg

You already have the pump. The Wasserschlucker gets the rest.

The Wasserschlucker works with the submersible pump and water squeegee from your existing equipment. Neither is included in the delivery.

Where it's used

Where the Wasserschlucker removes residual water

Wherever leftover water has to come out quickly and thoroughly: after heavy rain, a burst pipe or a firefighting operation.

  • Basement after heavy rain

    The last of the water lies flat on the basement floor. Wasserschlucker into the corner at the lowest point, pump in, hose up the stairs to the outside.

    Heavy rainFlooding

  • Garage

    On the garage floor, you push the water to the ramp and the pump moves it outside.

    ConcreteScreed

  • Workshop and hall

    Remove leftover water quickly and thoroughly, with a submersible pump and water squeegee, without any wet vac.

    WorkshopWarehouse

  • Burst pipe

    Once the pipe is sealed, the rest is still there. The Wasserschlucker gets it out instead of you bailing it out bucket by bucket.

    ApartmentBuilding

  • After a firefighting operation

    Firefighting water is left lying shallow in the room. With pump, squeegee and Wasserschlucker, the floor is quickly clear again.

Residual water guide

Pumping out residual water: Wasserschlucker, wet vac or low-level suction pump?

After heavy rain, a burst pipe or a firefighting operation, a shallow layer of water is almost always left behind. A submersible pump only pumps as long as there is enough water above its intake. Below that, it draws air, and the film of water stays on the floor.

The Wasserschlucker is a folding catch tray made of truck tarpaulin. You place it in a room corner at the lowest point, put your submersible pump in it and push the residual water over the self-erecting ramp with the water squeegee. The water builds up in the tray, and the pump moves it outside continuously. That makes it the pragmatic alternative to the wet vac, for fire departments, the THW (German Federal Agency for Technical Relief), municipalities and businesses.

  • Wet vacs and water vacuums

    Vacuums up the film of water until the tank is full. Then carry, empty, go back: on large areas, that adds up to many trips.

    Best for: small amounts and tight corners

  • Low-level suction submersible pump

    Pumps down lower than a standard pump. The residual water still has to reach it, and the squeegee and Wasserschlucker take care of that.

    Best for: shafts and pump sumps

  • Wasserschlucker

    Pools the residual water for the pump you already have. No tank, no carrying, only 3 cm flat when folded.

    Best for: Room corners at the lowest point: basement, garage, hall

  • Water squeegee

    Moves the film of water to the ramp stroke by stroke. With stainless steel rail, PVC pushing surface and additional rubber lip.

    Best for: smooth and uneven floors

Which submersible pump do I need for the Wasserschlucker?

The one you already have: the Wasserschlucker replaces the wet vac, not the pump. Your pump stands in the tray, with the hose running outside.

How much water is left in a room after water damage?

1 mm of water on 1 m² is 1 liter. So 10 mm on 40 m² makes 400 liters, which means 14 tank emptyings with a 30-liter wet vac. With the Wasserschlucker, the pump moves that volume outside through the hose.

Does the Wasserschlucker work at home too?

Yes. In a garage or basement, you get leftover water out of the room just as completely: submersible pump in, squeegee the residual water in, done.

Info & service

Frequently asked questions about the Wasserschlucker

Do I need a submersible pump as well?

Yes. The Wasserschlucker is the folding catch tray your submersible pump stands in. It replaces the wet vac, not the pump. The submersible pump and water squeegee come from your existing equipment.

Is a water squeegee included?

No, the delivery includes the Wasserschlucker. You can get the matching BOS Universal Professional Squeegee from us separately or in a bundle with the Wasserschlucker.

Is the Wasserschlucker available in a bundle with a water squeegee?

Yes. The Wasserschlucker and BOS Universal Professional Squeegee go into the cart as a bundle with one click, and you pay the sum of the two individual prices. For several bundles, we prepare a quote for you.
