[T Monahan]

Interesting concept for a break down wash pit for rugs:

Need a big one?

Isn't that the same as what the rugsucker sells?

Yet no prices on the website and no Canadian distributor...

Here is another company that has a 8' X 10' for $841 or 2 @ $799 each

Those would work but are a little difficult to get all the water to the sump pump. You will have to manually extract the water before you put it away. You could build a plywood bed underneath with a metal flange under which you could put a bottle jack. Flood the rug, let soak, then jack up slightly so the water runs off to sump pump and even Rinse with hose. For my shop, I need a 16 x 12.

They actually have some different sizes available. There is a 12 x12 that would work for the majority of rugs I get. I wonder if they could custom make me one. I'll have to give them a call.

If you need a big one, there are tons of companies that make them in sizes for car and truck washing at pretty reasonable prices. I found a 10x20 that included an evacuation pump on sale for $600. You might get what you pay for though; I've seen a few that wouldn't hold up unless you lined the bottom with something so it wouldn't wear through.

Because of the limited size of my shop, I don't want to go any larger than 12x16. The largest rug I normally do is 10 x 14. Any thing larger I just refer out. I think I will stick with my idea of 2x10's and pond liner. I already have some sump pumps.

For a temporary water pit on concrete, Robert Mann has shared his idea before to many. He buys Uline poly tubes. He fills them with water and ties then off in a knot. He curls them around to make a curb. The weight traps the water inside the curb for one to soak a rug. Uline sells these tubes inexpensively for what they do quickly.

Masterblend sells a rubber pit with air inflatable curbs. They have one for sale from the ICE show that we used as a demo.

They sell them on Amazon...

The biggest Stinger Yellow Jacket listed is 10X10:

If you want bigger ones they seem to be black:

I would like to slope mine slightly for rinsing urine soaked rugs. I will make my frame using joist hangers to slip the 2x10's together. Place a 2x4 at the head of the pond. Place 3 sheets of plywood or OSB across the width then a 1x4 and 3 more sheets of plywood, giving me a 12x16 pit with pond liner held onto the 2x10's with clamps. When I need to dismantle it, I just pull the 2x10's out of the joist hangers, roll up the pond liner and lean the plywood again at the wall.

Robert's offers custom designed "Pods" for a whole system of processing rugs he promotes that incorporates The Rug Sucker that he designed:

The Rug Sucker itself is offered though Rugged Industries and sold though their distributors, of which Centrum Force is one.
