The Hydro-Force Olympus O500H is the 12-gallon heated portable carpet extractor that mid-tier carpet cleaners and restoration techs use when a small portable runs out of capacity and a truck mount is overkill. 500 PSI of adjustable solution pressure handles glue-down commercial carpet without blowing apart residential plush, and the in-line heater warms the spray so detergent and encapsulant chemistry actually do their job.

Frequently asked questions
How is the O500H different from the O3-500 or O1200?
The O500H runs dual 2-stage vacuum motors, a 1750W heater, and 500 PSI. The O3-500 steps up to 3-stage motors for higher recovery. The O1200 jumps to 1200 PSI with auto-fill / auto-dump for big commercial work.
Will it run on a standard 15 amp circuit?
The heater and dual vacuum motors typically need two separate 15-20 amp circuits to run at full output. Confirm circuit availability before ordering for a building with limited power.
Is the 5-year warranty just on the body?
Yes. The 5-year warranty covers the rotational-molded polyethylene body. Pumps, motors, and the heater carry shorter component warranties from their respective manufacturers.
Does it have auto-fill / auto-dump?
No. The O500H is a manual fill / manual empty unit; auto-fill and auto-dump features are on the O1200 and other higher-tier Olympus models.
