Abstract (en)

A wet suction cleaner including a container (19) for holding dirty liquid, a suction nozzle (12), a vacuum source (25), and an air passage (26). The vacuum source draws dirty liquid through the suction nozzle and into the container. The vacuum source communicates with the container via the air passage. The air passage holds a filter (27) which separates dirt particles from the air flowing through the air passage. A filter cleaning nozzle (36) is disposed below and close to the filter (27). Cleaning liquid flows through the filter cleaning nozzle and is sprayed onto the filter to clean collected particles therefrom. The particles cleaned from the filter flow with the liquid downwardly into the container. <IMAGE>
