4-Gallon Floor Machine Solution Tank Buying Guide
If you already own a floor buffer, polisher or scrubber and want to add solution dispensing, this 4-gallon tank can provide a convenient onboard solution supply. The most important consideration before ordering is whether your machine has a compatible round handle and mounting area.
Do I Need a Solution Tank?
A solution tank is useful when you want to carry water or cleaning solution directly on the floor machine instead of repeatedly stopping to obtain solution from another container.
This can be especially beneficial for wet scrubbing and other floor-care applications where solution needs to be applied repeatedly during a cleaning session.
Why Choose a 4-Gallon Tank?
The 4-gallon capacity provides a substantial amount of onboard solution while remaining practical for use on a compatible rotary floor machine.
A larger tank can mean fewer interruptions for refilling, particularly when cleaning larger commercial floor areas.
Will This Tank Work with My Floor Buffer?
The tank is designed for floor machines with compatible round handles. It is commonly used with Stinger floor buffers and polishers, but it can also be used with other compatible machines.
If you have a non-Stinger floor buffer or polisher, check the handle diameter, handle shape and available space for mounting before ordering.
Non-Stinger Floor Machines
You do not necessarily need a Stinger floor machine to use this tank. Compatibility depends on the machine's round handle and mounting configuration.
Why Is the Round Handle Important?
The mounting brackets are designed to secure the tank around a round handle. The shape of the handle allows the brackets to sit around the tubing and hold the tank in position.
What Are the Rubber Pads For?
The included rubber pads provide additional grip between the mounting brackets and the round handle. They are designed to help prevent the tank from moving or sliding during operation.
Where Do the Rubber Pads Go?
The rubber pads go inside the U-shaped portions of the mounting brackets. The pads should be seated in the U-shaped sections before the brackets are secured around the round handle.
Rubber Pad Installation
Put one rubber pad into the U-shaped portion of each mounting bracket. The rubber pad should sit between the bracket and the round handle. This provides additional friction and helps prevent the solution tank from sliding along the handle.
How Do I Prevent the Tank from Sliding?
Make sure the rubber pads are installed correctly and remain seated in the U-shaped portions of the mounting brackets. The brackets should also be properly secured to the compatible round handle.
What If I Have a Different Brand of Floor Buffer?
A different brand does not automatically mean the tank is incompatible. The key considerations are the round handle, handle diameter and available mounting area.
If your machine uses a compatible round handle, this tank may be a suitable solution-dispensing accessory even if your floor machine is not manufactured by Stinger.
Why Use an Onboard Solution Tank?
An onboard tank allows the operator to keep solution with the machine while working. This can improve convenience and reduce interruptions during wet cleaning and scrubbing applications.
Consider Your Cleaning Area
A 4-gallon tank is particularly useful for larger areas where repeatedly carrying a small container of solution back and forth would slow down the cleaning process.
