Ctl 26 e

[Lance86]

Hi there, I have just ordered a ctl 26 e (expected to be delivered tomorrow), I have tried looking on how to use it as a wet vac, but can't find a solid answer anywhere, I'm assuming I just need to take out the bag and change the filter to a wet filter? Just don't want to risk knackering a £400 piece of kit up on guess work....

That is basically it.  I already ordered my wet filter (the blue filter), but have not used it yet.  We are thinking we will scrub our basement floors, where we are building our shop, and wanted to have the wet extraction capability to help get rid of any remaining water quickly. 

I did read that after use with water, there was a need to clean/dry the internal sensors and make sure the "tub" was dried out before returning the CT to a dry system.
