GALLONS
"Tank Size" refers to the actual tank volume, and does not reflect capacity available during operation.
PEAK HP
"Peak Horsepower" is a term used in the wet-dry vac industry for consumer comparison purposes. It does not
denote the operational horsepower output of a wet-dry vac, but rather the horsepower output of a motor, including
the motor's inertial contribution, achieved in laboratory testing. In actual use, motors do not operate at the peak
horsepower shown.
