A surface cleaning system having a storage container, debris collection
apparatus and debris conduit is disclosed. Water discharged from spray
nozzles configured in a circular arrangement forces debris into a debris
collection ring and then a debris conduit. An auger, water pressure or
air pressure is used to force the debris through debris conduit into the
storage container for disposal. The design of the debris collection
apparatus also facilitates the capture of most of the water used to force
the debris into the debris collection apparatus. Accordingly, the system
is able to reuse the water thereby extending the surface area that may be
cleaned with a specified amount of water.
