    Why is my Tennant T15 Scrubber not picking up water?
    • J
      Jennifer LeeAug 17, 2025
      If your Tennant Scrubber isn't picking up water, it could be due to several reasons: * Squeegee blades may be worn, requiring rotation or replacement. * The squeegee might need adjustment. * The vacuum hose could be clogged and needs flushing. * A dirty vacuum fan inlet filter can restrict airflow, so clean it. * Debris caught on the squeegee can impede water pickup; remove it. * A disconnected or damaged vacuum hose to the squeegee or recovery tank should be reconnected or replaced. * Ensure the tank cover is completely closed, checking for any obstructions. * Torn seals on the recovery tank should be replaced.
