You could get a 14 or was it 18 inch bare floor nozzle and a 5 gal water pan for the D2s. I don't ever remember seeing these shown for the later models.

I have one of those big nozzles and that looks like the 1 gallon (4qt.) container.
The floor tool she is using looks sort of like the ones NSS provides for their machines.Wonder if she has some sort of antibacterial solution in her Rainbows water bin.
Really, Hans! The putrid water that you empty from a Rainbow just from domestic use is nauseating enough: Can you imagine the filthy brew of yucky stuff, germs, and toxic matter that would result from use in a commercial setting -- especially a hospital?! *BLECCCHH!*

Wow I can see a Rainbow (not bashing, I love my Rainbow) making matters worse by speading the germs in a hospital.
I haven't seen Rainbows used in that type of setting until the picture of the woman using it a hospital.Rainbow does make a "Yellow" Hazmat Rainbow machine for dealing with hazardous wastes.The machine doesn't have a powernozzle jack-so its powerdome is sealed-the unit can be dipped in cleaning,sterilizing,decontamination solutions without damage.But-? I wonder how do you dispose of the contaminated water it picked up?A bagged hazmat machine the bag can go to the hazardous waste landfill or be incinerated.Guess with that Hazmat Rainbow you have to put the water in a drum,and probably the water bin would have to be disposed of,too.
When I use my Rainbow-like any other bagless vacuum-empty it promptly after use-I do use the Green Rainbow solution in the watger bin with the water-does make a nice smell-and the Rainbow additive allows the water to "wet" debris better so it is trapped in the bin.Rainbow users are more "disiplined" over other users-they are used to emptying the bin and rinsing it out after use and NOT storing the powerdome on top of the bin.When the Rainbow is sold to the customer-the salesperson shows the new user how to operate and care for their Rainbow.Since the Rainbow is more unique compared to other vacuums-the training is a good thing.Some intensive cleaning sessions the water bin may have to be dumpted and cleaned more than once.I don't use my Rainbows as "daily drivers" but fun and cool on occasions.

Yes that is a 4qt (1gal) pan
What I was saying is you could get a 5 gal spun aluminum basin for the D2 as well for commercial applications. I only saw one in use, at a Chiropractor's office. The local Rainbow dealer (the good one) was a patient of his.

I have the large water bin for my present Rainbows-the Rainbow salesman commented it was for "Large Homes" or if the machine was being used for Upolstery cleaning or floor-carpet cleaning.He didn't mention commercial use.But guess-Why not?Kirbys,Filter Queens are seen being used commercially-and older TriStars.Remember drywall contractors wanting older Filter Queens and TriStars for job cleanups.They use two paper bags or filter cones for additional filtering of drywall-plaster dust.the plaster dust will pass thru the Rainbow water filter.Water does not wet or dissolve the dryall dust.

Hate to break it to you, guys...
... But speaking as a former hospital housekeeping manager, I can tell you that hospital mop water is not considered hazardous waste. It routinely gets poured down drains every day, germs and all. There's no reason to think the water from a Rainbow would be treated any differently.
Also, that picture is of a hospital housekeeper, NOT a nurse. Nurses don't clean rooms or vacuum.

P.S. -- Vacuum bags...
... aren't hazardous waste either. They get tossed into the regular trash.
