The Mosquito 12G-2202H is the top of Mosquito's 12-gallon portable extractor line: 220 PSI from an AquaTec pump, a 2000 watt stainless steel heater, and dual two-stage Ametek vacuum motors in one wheeled body. It is bought by contractors who want truck-mount behavior in a machine that fits an elevator, and by facilities whose route mixes soft carpet with tile and grout.
The reason crews pay for both heat and pressure is that they solve different problems. Pressure gets solution into a dense, tightly woven glue-down carpet that a low-pressure portable cannot penetrate. Heat breaks down the grease and body oil that pressure alone just rearranges. A cafeteria corridor needs both, and this is the model that carries both.
Built for
- Cafeterias, break rooms and food-service corridors where grease is the dominant soil
- Dense glue-down commercial carpet in offices, medical facilities, banks and retail
- Hotels cleaning guest rooms, corridors and conference space floor by floor
- Mixed routes that include tile and grout as well as carpet, using the appropriate tool
- Restoration and BSC crews needing portable equipment that travels between scattered sites
How the heater is built
The heater is a stainless steel unit with two 1000 watt elements, not a single element sized to a spec sheet. Dual ceramic thermostats and Mosquito's exclusive DTS Dual Thermostat System, with bimetallic thermal cut-off switches, hold the solution within nine degrees of setpoint. That consistency is the whole point on a long run: a machine that heats well for ten minutes and then falls off leaves a visible line down a corridor where the temperature dropped.
Operator details that save time on site
Controls and gauges are consolidated on a single panel. One valve turn rinses the recovery tank or drains the solution tank, and another primes the pump. The cord wrap is quick release, which matters when two cords are being managed. Vacuum stand tubes are molded into the body rather than bolted on, removing a maintenance point. A recovery tank full indicator light and automatic motor shut-off stop the vacuums before liquid reaches the inlet, and thermal protection shuts a motor down and restarts it after cooling instead of letting it overheat.

Frequently asked questions
Why does this model need two power cords?
The vacuum motors and the 2000 watt heater are on separate circuits so neither starves the other. A dual circuit light and sound indicator confirms both cords are live. Use two separate building circuits, not two outlets fed by the same breaker.
How stable is the water temperature over a long run?
Mosquito's DTS Dual Thermostat System uses dual ceramic thermostats and bimetallic thermal cut-off switches to regulate within nine degrees, so the far end of a corridor is cleaned at the same temperature as the near end.
Is 220 PSI too much pressure for carpet?
It does not have to be run at the top of the range. The value of 220 PSI is headroom for dense glue-down carpet and for hard-surface work with the right tool. Most routine carpet extraction happens well below that, and backing off avoids over-wetting.
What is the difference between this and the 12G-1202H?
Pump pressure only. The 12G-1202H is rated to 120 PSI and the 12G-2202H to 220 PSI. Both carry the 2000 watt heater, 12-gallon capacity and dual two-stage Ametek vacuum motors.
What does the warranty cover?
Lifetime on the body and one year on the motor and pump. The machine is designed, manufactured and assembled in the United States.
