Model-Specific Considerations

ProSeal I

  • Smaller water reservoir (1L)
  • Compact design for tight spaces
  • Lighter weight for easier transport
  • More frequent water refills needed

ProSeal II

  • Larger water capacity (1.5L)
  • Enhanced suction power
  • Additional storage space
  • Higher weight capacity

Remember: Both models require annual professional servicing to maintain warranty coverage and optimal performance. Keep detailed records of all maintenance and cleaning procedures for compliance and warranty purposes.
