Need a vacuum for removing floodwater from a home or commercial building? Look no further than Matala’s Power-Cyclone Vacuum. The Power-Cyclone is one of the only vacuums on the market with two motors that operate simultaneously. It means you can pump water into one end of the vacuum and out the other end in one continuous, non-stop flow. This makes it much more practical than single-motor designs where the water pulled into the vacuum needs to be emptied each time it fills. It means you can start pumping water out of a space and leave the vacuum to do its thing until all of the water is gone.

Pumps over 5,000L per hour
The Matala Power-Cyclone Vacuum has a ½hp motor that can pump out more than 90 litres of water per minute. This is tested using a USA 60Hz power outlet and may vary slightly using an Australian power supply. Ninety litres per minute converts to more than 5,000L per hour. What exactly does this look like? Watch the video below to see the discharge flow rate in action.

Pumps up to 5m elevation
The Matala Power-Cyclone Vacuum has the added benefit of being able to pump water up a 5m elevation. This means you can easily pump water from the ground, up over the ledge of a window and discharge the water outside. Keep in mind, while you can pump water up to 5m high, the suggested elevation is around 1m. At this shorter elevation, the discharge flow rate remains strong. This still makes the vacuum ideal for pumping flooded water up over the ledge of a window (which is generally lower than 1m) to discharge the water outside.

More than 25m of hose
The vacuum comes with an 8m intake hose and 10m outtake hose. You can also purchase an additional 9m hose which attaches to the discharge hose. This takes the total distance of the hose and vacuum to over 25m in distance—making it ideal for getting floodwaters out of hard-to-reach places.

High-grade filter to protect motor
The Matala Power-Cyclone Vacuum comes with a high quality Matala filter that protects the motor from sand and debris coming through the system. Again, this makes it ideal for pumping out floodwaters that contain a lot of dirt and sand.
