Being totally serious here, (and not bashing. I don't do that).
What happens if your only vacuum is a Rainbow water system and you have cat litter boxes? Will the litter clump in the basin? Is that a real mess to clean out? Being that I never owned one, but do have 2 cats, (their litter is the "clumping kind). Anyone have issues with this in your households? | ||

Thanks.
I have 2 cats. There are 2 litter boxes. I put liners in them and fill them with Tidy cat, scoopable, for multiple cats. I scoop them out everyday with a scoop. I only vacuum loose particles on the floor left by little paws. I use a nice Hoover, of course.
I was wondering what happens when cat owners pick up litter like this with their rainbows. "Murphy" and "Harold" watch me vacuum up their 'trail' with the Hoover, of course. | ||

John With the high dilution you are talking about you may have some slime in the bottom of the basin, but probably not enough to cause problems. I clean up paw tracks from my two all the time. Usually just causes me to rinse once or twice after dumping. | ||

I definitely would not pick up cat litter with a water-based vacuum, just asking for trouble. I only seen a Rainbow once in my life, last year at salvation army. it still had water in it, and having never seen one before, I opened it to see what it was all about, nearly puked right there in the store. A godawful sickly smell in that vacuum from water with god knows what in it. Likewise never pick up salt water (from a leaking water softener) with a shop vac. No matter how diluted (sucking up an entire room of water), I lost a 2 year old shop vac from severe rust damage after doing that.

I've repaired thousands of Rainbow cleaner over the past 30 years of my life. Many were owned by people who also owned cats. I have never seen a water basin come in on a Rainbow that contained clumped up cat litter. Some have been damaged by the use of non-genuine fragrances (Listerine will crack the pan too), but the pans have always been clean.
I have a Persian and a Siamese cat. The little bit of litter on their paws that gets onto the rug when scooping the boxes was only a problem for my bag vacuums. Makes the bag stink in only a few days. My Vacuflo central vac does just fine in those instances. | ||

I wanted to comment on the video and tell him this was only an issue if you're an idiot, but I noticed he has comments turned off on the video. Even with this nasty mess, cleaning it out wouldn't be the end of the world, although none of my machines will ever see this much kitty litter, even the bagged machines never collected tis much before they were full of dirt. | ||

First of all that guy thinks that the opening and any rainbow Basin is a small hole. I'd hate to see what his girlfriend/wife looks like. I mean a rainbow basin is wider than the goatse man .
But in reality no rainbow will struggle with cat litter and you can rinse it out just fine he just needs to put more effort into it. Also this guy sounds like he's upset about paying full price for a rainbow. | ||
