Recognizing the fact that flooding is an inevitability in low lying areas of the Philippines during the rainy season, RIDGID tools has donated wet and dry vacuum cleaners with the ability to suck standing water left behind by heavy rains, to the San Miguel-Meysulao High School and AFG Bernardino Memorial School, both in Bulacan. Both schools are in areas that flood nearly every year, and usually more than once a year.
We think of vacuum cleaners as great labor-saving devices that suck away large amounts of dust with little effort, and greater effectiveness than conventional methods. Few even know that there is such a thing as a wet and dry vacuum that can suck standing water just as easily as accumulated dust and dirt. It is impossible to use a conventional vacuum cleaner for water, it takes a specially designed and built wet and dry vacuum to keep water from coming into contact with the vacuum’s working electrical parts.
