Paddock™ Venturi Water Recovery Surface Cleaner
Description
Clean large flat surfaces while recovering dirty wastewater with the Paddock™ Venturi Water Recovery Surface Cleaner. Designed for commercial and professional pressure washing applications, this heavy-duty surface cleaner combines powerful rotating high-pressure jets with an integrated Venturi suction system to help collect water, dirt and debris as you clean.
Available in 530mm (21") and 600mm (24") models, the Paddock™ Venturi Surface Cleaner is ideal for applications where controlling wastewater and reducing surface runoff is important. The integrated suction system uses the pressure washer's water flow to generate negative pressure beneath the deck, drawing contaminated water through the recovery hose for collection, drainage or disposal.

Clean & Recover Wastewater in One Pass
Traditional surface cleaners are highly effective at removing dirt and contamination from concrete and other flat surfaces, but the resulting wastewater is normally left behind on the surface.
The Paddock™ Venturi Water Recovery Surface Cleaner is designed to help solve this problem by combining surface cleaning and wastewater recovery in a single unit.
High-pressure water passes through the integrated Venturi system, creating a strong suction effect beneath the cleaner. This negative pressure helps draw dirty water, loosened debris and contaminants away from the cleaning area and into the attached recovery hose.
The wastewater can then be directed to a suitable collection point, drainage system or waste container depending on the application and local requirements.
Ideal for Commercial Cleaning Applications
The wastewater recovery system makes this cleaner particularly useful in commercial, industrial and public areas where uncontrolled water runoff is undesirable.
Typical applications include:
- Concrete driveways
- Shopping centres and retail areas
- Workshop and warehouse floors
- Service stations
- Commercial buildings
- Car parks
- Loading docks
- Footpaths and pedestrian areas
- Factory floors
- Food processing and wash-down areas where appropriate
- Boat ramps and marine facilities
- Industrial cleaning applications
Integrated Venturi Suction System
The recovery system operates without requiring a separate powered vacuum unit. Instead, the surface cleaner uses a dedicated Venturi nozzle powered by the pressure washer's water flow.
As water passes through the Venturi nozzle, a low-pressure zone is created beneath the surface cleaner. This suction helps lift wastewater and debris from the cleaning area before directing it through the recovery hose.
This simple mechanical design provides an effective solution for controlling wastewater while keeping the overall system straightforward and easy to operate.
High-Pressure Rotating Cleaning Action
Underneath the deck, twin high-pressure nozzles rotate rapidly to provide consistent cleaning across the full working width.
The rotating cleaning bar allows large areas to be cleaned considerably faster and more evenly than using a conventional pressure washer lance alone, while the enclosed deck helps control spray and debris.
The cleaner is designed for pressure washers operating at up to 4,000 PSI / 275 bar.
Suitable for Hot & Cold Water Pressure Washers
The Paddock™ Venturi Surface Cleaner can be used with suitable hot or cold water pressure washers, with a maximum operating water temperature of 90°C.
This makes it suitable for demanding commercial cleaning applications where heated water may be used to assist with removing oil, grease and other difficult contamination.
Two Cleaning Widths Available
530mm (21") Venturi Surface Cleaner: A versatile mid-size option balancing cleaning coverage and manoeuvrability. Well suited to commercial cleaning, workshops, driveways and general industrial applications.
600mm (24") Venturi Surface Cleaner: The largest model in the range, providing greater surface coverage per pass and making it ideal for larger commercial and industrial areas where productivity is a priority.
Wastewater Recovery Hose
The surface cleaner is supplied with a drain hose which carries recovered wastewater away from the cleaning head.
A 5m drain hose is supplied as standard, with longer hose arrangements of approximately 10m or 15m available where required.
For best performance, keep the recovery hose as straight and unrestricted as practical and ensure the discharge point is positioned appropriately for the cleaning application.
Connecting to Your Pressure Washer
The Paddock™ Venturi Water Recovery Surface Cleaner is supplied with a 3/8" quick-connect inlet, commonly used on commercial pressure washer systems.
The supplied connection may not directly suit every pressure washer brand or model. Scintex stocks a range of fittings and adapters to assist with connecting to various pressure washer systems.

Getting the Best Performance
Venturi surface cleaner performance depends on both pressure and water flow. The pressure washer must provide sufficient flow to operate the rotating cleaning bar while also generating adequate suction through the Venturi recovery system.
For best results, use a commercial pressure washer appropriately matched to the nozzle configuration and operating requirements of the surface cleaner.
Before purchasing, check your pressure washer's maximum pressure, water flow and hose connection. If you're unsure whether your pressure washer is suitable, contact Scintex with the make, model, pressure and flow specifications of your machine.
Wastewater Disposal
Important: Recovered wastewater may contain dirt, oil, grease, chemicals or other contaminants removed during cleaning. Wastewater must be collected, discharged and disposed of appropriately for the application and in accordance with any relevant local environmental or drainage requirements.
Do not discharge contaminated wastewater into stormwater systems or environmentally sensitive areas unless permitted.
