Thomas Pet&Friends T1 Aquafilter: in case the vacuum cleaner was a dog’s friend…

The German company Thomas has released a new detergent vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter with a speaking name Thomas Pet&Friends T1 Aquafilter. This model meets the high German standards for hygiene in the home – thanks to important Thomas technical advances. Like the rest of the Thomas Aquafilter range, this model has Thomas’ proprietary patented dry filter which provides the highest filtration rate of 99.99% at 0.3 μm dust particles .

The Aquafilter aka the hair catcher

The Thomas aqua-filter first sprays the air stream through a waterfall-like wall of four counter-jet nozzles, and then through a series of further cleaning stages.

In the water wall, each speck of dust and hair is moistened, and because they are hygroscopic, they become heavy and stick together with other specks of dust and hair.

Then, in the way of the air with this suspension is a grid the second stage of cleaning , which detains the wet hair and forces it to sink to the bottom of the container. This grid is a feature of the Thomas Pet&Friends T1 Aquafilter.

It allows you to separate the coarse debris such as wool from the fine dust in the second stage. And the dust particles continue to move on to the third stage of cleaning.

They swirl around in a “mist” of water droplets until they are coarse and heavy enough to settle down into the container, into the water or linger in the coarse porous filter at the outlet the fourth step . Thanks to this, the air in the apartment after cleaning, even in dry mode, will be clean and humidified.

Dogs and cats can shed as much as they want

Dust and hair flying in the air will settle down and be picked up by the vacuum cleaner. The effect is amazing: you cleaned the floor, and cleaned the entire volume of the apartment. And all you need to do is pour 1 liter of water into the aquafilter, install a long-lasting HEPA filter, clean up and pour the dirty water down the toilet.

The dust will be dissolved in the water, and the wool will pile up into a lump that can be thrown away. The result will amaze every pet owner when they see how dirty the water has become after cleaning and how much hair the vacuum cleaner has collected.

And to remove hair from carpets and upholstered furniture, the Thomas Pet&Friends T1 Aquafilter comes with special nozzles.

“And where Grandpa sleeps?” – “Grandpa? And on the rug!”

The Thomas Pet&Friends T1 Aquafilter also has a wet mopping mode. The kit includes wash pads and a detergent concentrate which is harmless to humans and pets, but has great cleaning properties.

The first thing many pet owners do is get rid of carpets in their apartments, hoping that this will make cleaning easier. But, according to recent research scientists, the rooms with animals and without carpets have a very high concentration of dust and hair in the air, unlike in apartments where there are carpets, which prevent the free movement of light debris by their pile.

The main thing is to clean them regularly. Thomas Pet&Friends T1 Aquafilter will be irreplaceable helper here, as this vacuum cleaner will gently clean any carpet while covering the entire pile depth. And it will shine with new colors, and guests will be amazed at the uniqueness of your pet: no fur from it, no dirt. What kind of breed is this?? Explain to them that the main thing is to have a “thoroughbred” vacuum cleaner.

No matter what kind of furry creature lives in your home – a dog, a cat, a ferret, or several of these adorable creatures. You love them immeasurably, and they love you back – perfect harmony, it would seem. But when you have to go to work, and your favorite pants are full of pet hair, when you and your kids sneeze from wool flying around the room, and the carpet is just not cleaned – you have to look for a way out.

In Germany, cleanliness and hygiene are important considerations: A fundamental part of culture and concern for health. Thomas, which is produced only in its factory in Germany, presents original designs and effective cleaning technologies, which will ensure not only the hygiene of your home and its air, but also the pleasure of cleanliness.

Thomas air filter: purifies the air and prevents waste

German engineers have taken a completely new, revolutionary way to create a filtration system. ordinary vacuum cleaners for dry cleaning, to meet the high demands of consumers, have to increase the power of devices and complicate the filter system their number is increasing, and their cost is rising . The buyer is forced to regularly purchase and replace expensive filters and dust collection bags.

Thomas vacuum cleaners use a patented water filter that is radically different from anything else on the market. It is very important to note: air with dust in Thomas vacuum cleaners does not pass through water.

Because transmission of dusty air through water, which is the method most commonly used in the so-called “aquafilter” by other manufacturers, does not provide the necessary degree of purification only large debris is retained . The Thomas Aquafilter has four steps to clean the dust.

The first stage is a water wall. From the four nozzles pointing at each other, jets of water. Dust entering the vacuum cleaner with air is wet, becomes heavy, coarse and then settles in the water. But there is still the finest and most allergenic dust, which has not yet increased sufficiently in size and weight.

How to trap it? For this there are second, third and fourth stage. The air with small particles of dust is artificially caught in the suspension of water droplets. Fine dust, going through such microcyclones, gets wet and clumps together, becomes coarse and heavy and is reliably held back even by a coarse-porous filter at the outlet.

Imagine you are walking through a fog: your clothes, hair, and skin will be wet, but you haven’t dipped in water. So the dust that gets into the aqua filter gets wet without bathing in water. This is the approach in Thomas vacuum cleaners with aqua filter provides the highest degree of filtration.

Next, the developers have installed HEPA-filter, which starts to work when the coarse filter becomes clogged, which happens if it is not washed from time to time. Even so, there’s nothing to worry about: Just rinse it under the faucet, leave it to dry, and place it back in the vacuum cleaner.

The water filter used in Thomas vacuum cleaners allows the air to be filtered at 99.99% the measurements were carried out on the most allergenic dust – particle size does not exceed 0.3 micron , and it cleans 100% of pollen.

All that is needed is to pour 1 liter of water into the AquaFilter and after cleaning the dirty water from the container into the toilet. You don’t even need to detach the hose from the unit – it’s that simple. There’s no need to reach for the dust bag or the cyclone bin, or shake and breathe in a cloud of dust.

No more wasting energy, money and bags, no more expensive HEPA filter sets: water is always at your fingertips. During cleaning, the vacuum works as a very powerful humidifier as the air that comes out of the filter is not only cleaner, but also more humidified. You will forget the unpleasant “vacuuming” smell. The air in your apartment will be truly fresh!

Systemic Approach – 3D Result

Thomas’ slogan “washes the house and the air in it, and the surface and the volume” explains the principle of volumetric dust suppression. This means a revolutionary new approach to dry-cleaning.

We are used to vacuuming vertical and horizontal surfaces of dust, dirt. But Thomas vacuums have a unique aqua filter that not only provides great air filtration, it also creates moisture. Moisture from the air binds the dust particles floating around the room and deposits them on the floor – so it makes three-dimensional cleaning of the entire room, i.e. cleaning in 3D.

For it is not just a matter of 100% dust retention inside the vacuum cleaner an impossible situation in practice that determines the quality and sustainability of the cleaning process. Let us imagine that such an “ideal” vacuum cleaner no matter if it is a bag or cyclone vacuum cleaner will “exhale” dry air into the room where the unsettled dust is still hanging in the air, lying on the cabinet, under the couch and on the surfaces which have not been cleaned yet.

A stream of clean air creates air movement in the room, lifting the dust from its “permanent dislocation”, and it flies and hangs in the air, and not only during cleaning, but also for hours after it. In practice, the “exhaled” air also dries out, because dust is very hygroscopic.

And the dried flow of even the cleanest air creates even more “flying weather” for dust! Which is more benefit or harm?? Such a situation is not possible with Thomas vacuum cleaners, because they “exhale” wet and clean air.

Thomas only accepts pure water

Another thing Thomas prides itself on is the innovative technology it uses in its wash mode. They allow you to clean carpets and rugs over the entire pile, as well as wash hard floors, walls, windows, always only with clean water. The cleaning solution is sprayed under pressure through a nozzle in the form of a fine water dispersion, dissolving and washing dirt and at the same time, with the dirt and dust already dissolved in it, is sucked up by a powerful turbine.

New nozzle shape creates faster airflow, so it picks up liquid faster, reducing residual moisture. Carpet is left pile free, pile straightened and looks like it just came out of the store. Thomas vacuums also allow you to quickly pick up spills or unclog sink clogs.

One nozzle gives you so many possibilities

Thomas has developed a new universal nozzle to clean any surface. It combines four different nozzles, thanks to adapters and special wipeable microfaser cloths: for cleaning carpets, for cleaning linoleum and tiles, for cleaning parquet and laminate, for cleaning windows and mirrors.

This miracle attachment is included with Thomas Twin T2 Aquafilter, Twin T2 Parquet, Hygiene T2 and Hygiene Plus T2 wet and dry vacuum cleaners. Thanks to the water dispenser in these vacuum cleaners for the first time, it is possible to smoothly adjust the humidification of the surface, so you can clean and concrete floor in the garage, and an antique parquet in a museum. Can be retrofitted with other Thomas vacuum cleaners.

Secret container

Hygiene-Bag system – a patented and innovative dry hygienic cleaning system. This novelty allows you to enjoy the benefits of a bag filtration system, such as the ease and constant availability of the vacuum cleaner to work without breathing in or coming into contact with dust and debris.

The Hygiene-Bag system is installed if it is necessary to vacuum something urgently and then, when it is time to clean it better dry with an aqua-filter or wet , it is necessary to take out the Hygiene-Bag, close the inlet and put the container away in a cupboard.

It won’t get dusty because it’s sealed, and it won’t go stale because it’s not airtight: the air passes through the container’s carbon filter. And when you need to pick up litter again in an emergency, reattach the Hygiene-Bag, and your vacuum cleaner is ready for use. Thanks to this system, the consumer can choose any mode of operation: dry cleaning with bags – the so-called “first aid”, dry cleaning with an aquafilter for volumetric cleaning of the room or wet cleaning to the base of the pile and only clean water.

All three Thomas-style modes are completely hygienic. Moreover, the Hygiene-Bag system allows disposing of the dust bag without touching it, simply by pushing the latch and it goes straight into the garbage can. This is important for allergy sufferers, who would rather not come into contact with dust of any kind. Hygiene-Bag is included with the Hygiene T2 and Hygiene Plus T2, but can be purchased separately and retrofit to any Thomas horizontal vacuum cleaner.
