Special features of your BISSELL ProHeat SmartTemp® SmartTemp Ready Light The BISSELL ProHeat models all feature a patented built-in heater which will heat hot tap water you put in up to 25° degrees hotter to safely optimize cleaning effectiveness. The heater will never allow the temperature to exceed 180°. The heater switch which is located on the back of the machine controls the heater so you have the option to turn off the heat if you are cleaning delicate or oriental rugs.
Special features of your BISSELL ProHeat Tank-in-Tank™ Our Tank-in-Tank system is designed with a heavy duty bladder inside for clean water. As you clean, the clean water in the bladder will empty and mix with the cleaning formula. Dirty water pulled out of your carpets will collect around the outside of the bladder so that clean and dirty water are always kept separate. This allows you to maximize tank space, yet only carry one tank to and from the sink for emptying and filling.
