Prevents the mop from stretching out through water in the bottom of bucket. It holds sand more when rinsing the bucket out. Restricts the mop fibers movements when pump rinsing. My thought is that what is lost and what is gained equals elimination of the no wake bucket. This is more a promotional idea than a necessity.

Do you mean the no wave ? I have no use for any of the dirt holding etc.etc. idea buckets but the no wave is good because when you hit the edge of tile / carpet transition the water doesn't splash out of the bucket. I would not like one for in a school but for offices it's bonus.

:yes: We use the wavebrake mop buckets from Rubbermaid and they are really good going from carpet to hard floor and back. I have'nt spilled at all.

Me too.

:thumbsup: High five!

I guess it depends on your priorities. I thought the pedal activated bottom drain bucket was awesome too. Saved the back. However after I twice activated the drain by accidently stepping on the pedal I changed my mind. Whats important is that your happy with the equipment you use. I was expecting someone to ask me who Rube Goldberg was. He was a cartoonist that made simple inventions into multi complex excentric staged steps that were obsurd but funny.
