What is the capacity of this Refina Washboy?
This specific model, the Refina Washboy Wash Bucket, has a capacity of 16 litres.
How many rollers does the 16L model have?
The 16 Litre model features 2 click-in rollers for efficient sponge wringing.
Does the washboy come assembled?
Yes, the Refina Washboy Wash Bucket is ready to use out of the box; no assembly is required.
How does the separation grid help?
The separation grid sits at the bottom of the bucket and collects sediment and debris, ensuring that the water used for rinsing sponges remains cleaner for longer, leading to better results.
Can this washboy be used for DIY projects?
While primarily designed for professional use due to its features and durability, it can certainly be used for larger DIY tiling projects where efficient sponge cleaning is beneficial.
What is the main advantage of the rollers?
The rollers provide a mechanical advantage for wringing out excess water and grout from sponges more effectively and consistently than manual wringing, improving work efficiency and the quality of the finish.
How should I clean the washboy after use?
After emptying, rinse the bucket and rollers thoroughly with clean water. Periodically clean any grout buildup from the rollers and ensure they move freely.
Troubleshooting
Rollers are difficult to turn
Check for any hardened grout or debris lodged around the roller mechanism. Clean thoroughly with water and a brush. Ensure the rollers are properly seated.
Bucket feels unstable when moving
Ensure the wheels are properly attached and rotating freely. Distribute weight evenly within the bucket and do not overfill past the recommended level. Ensure the handle is securely gripped.
Water becomes dirty very quickly
Ensure the separation grid is correctly positioned at the bottom of the bucket. Rinse sponges thoroughly over the grid to allow sediment to settle below it. Consider more frequent water changes for particularly messy jobs.
Carry handle feels loose
Inspect the handle attachment points for any damage. Ensure the handle is fully engaged in its housing. Do not carry excessive weight that could strain the handle.
