Charles CVC370
The Numatic Charles CVC370 supports routine vacuuming and occasional wet pickup in one cylinder machine. Staff can prepare it for the material being collected, using the appropriate filtration arrangement and surface tool.
Numatic states compliance with clause 20 of IEC/EN 60335-2-69 for stability and mechanical hazards. This is a manufacturer statement, with use restricted to suitable materials and the operating limits in the machine instructions.
Dry Collection with TriTex Filtration
In dry mode, the TriTex filter works with a compatible HepaFlo bag to collect ordinary dust and debris. The bag keeps collected material together for removal, while regular changes form part of routine machine care.
The combination floor tool can be adjusted for suitable carpets or hard floors. Smaller attachments help reach edges, furnishings and awkward spaces, allowing staff to include detailed areas in the same cleaning round.
Wet Pickup for Everyday Maintenance
Liquid recovery uses the specified float assembly and wet pickup tool, with the dry bag and filter removed. The float responds to the liquid level, helping indicate when the container needs emptying.
A 9-litre wet capacity supports suitable spill recovery, while the 10-metre cable and carry handle help organise movement between rooms. Charles does not spray cleaning solution, so carpet washing requires a separate extraction machine.
A 10-metre cable and carrying handle make Charles practical for moving between indoor cleaning areas. Compare the Numatic wet and dry cleaners range for similar tasks. If you need a machine that also sprays cleaning solution for carpet washing, consider the Numatic George GVE370 and its extraction function.

- Suitable indoor liquid spills using the specified wet setup.
- School and workplace maintenance with separate wet and dry procedures.
- Floor and detail cleaning with tools appropriate to each surface.
Directions for Use
- Check the machine and cleaning task: Read the supplied instructions, inspect the cable and identify the material to be collected. Use indoors within the machine's operating limits. Disconnect the plug before changing the setup, cleaning the machine or investigating a blockage.
- Prepare for dry vacuuming: Make sure the container and relevant components are dry. Fit the correct HepaFlo bag and dry filter, secure the head and connect the appropriate tool. Set the combination tool's brushes up for carpet or down for suitable hard floors.
- Change to wet pickup: Unplug, remove the dry bag and filter, and fit the specified wet float assembly and tool. Check the float is clean and working. Stop and unplug when the float shuts off suction; empty the container before continuing.
- Empty, clean and store: Disconnect the power, empty collected material appropriately and clean the container, hose and tools after wet use. Check for damage and let components dry before dry vacuuming. Store the machine indoors with its cable and accessories tidied away.
FAQs
Can Charles vacuum both dust and liquid?
Yes, it offers dry vacuuming and wet pickup as separate operating modes. Change the filter arrangement and floor tool as instructed before switching tasks; the dry dust bag must not remain installed for liquid recovery.
Does it wash carpets with cleaning solution?
Charles collects dry debris or suitable liquids but does not spray cleaning solution onto a carpet. Choose an extraction machine when the task requires controlled solution application and recovery, and follow the carpet manufacturer's care instructions.
Which dust bags does the CVC370 use?
Numatic identifies NVM-2BH HepaFlo bags for the CVC370 dry setup. Check the model and bag reference when ordering replacements. Use the specified filter as well as the bag, and remove dry consumables before changing to wet pickup.
What happens when the wet container is full?
The float limits liquid collection by shutting off suction, usually accompanied by a change in motor sound. Switch off, unplug and empty the container. Investigate a blockage or faulty float if suction remains poor with an empty container.
Can it be used for hazardous dust?
No. The manufacturer's instructions exclude hazardous and explosive dust, and this model should not be selected for those tasks. Assess the material before cleaning and choose equipment specifically suitable for the hazard where specialist collection is required.
What care does it need between cleaning jobs?
Check the bag, filter, hose, tools and cable regularly. After wet collection, empty and clean the system, then allow it to dry before restoring the dry setup. Keep the float clean and have damaged parts replaced correctly.
