Shark WD201, HydroVac XL 3-in-1 Vacuum, Blue, 38 Qt. Capacity

Product Information

The clean and dirty water containers on the Shark were much smaller, maybe 1/3rd the capacity of my other unit. Interestingly however, it didn't seem like it had that big of an impact on the actual ability to clean and how many times I had to change the water. It seems like the Shark uses less water for similar results which is nice since constantly changing the dirty water tank and adding more water is time-consuming. Hydrovac excavation reduces the risks associated with traditional excavation methods. The use of high-pressure water reduces the need for hand digging, which can be a hazardous process. Moreover, hydrovac excavation is a non-destructive excavation method, which means that it does not generate vibrations or cave-ins that can pose a risk to workers or surrounding structures. Daylighting: Daylighting is the process of exposing and identifying buried utilities. Hydrovac excavation is able to carefully remove soil around the utilities while leaving them undamaged and visible. We've owned this product for several weeks and have used it MANY times. Our hope was that it would totally eliminate the need for mopping our 1700 sq foot home. There are some pros, but there are some cons.

Before starting any digging, it’s important to call and locate any underground utilities to avoid damaging them.

Hydro excavation is a soil removing service. Instead of mechanical tools, the process uses pressurized water to create a dirt slurry.
