Thought you might enjoy seeing my Regina Water-Matic

...with all the tools, attachments, and instructions. Picked this up about a week ago. I'll get some better pics later, if you like.

It even has the lace-edged hair dryer. Just too bad I don't have enough hair left to make it worthwhile to hook up.

Really nice, they are seldom seen it seems. I found one as well a few years ago and it lives with Doug in Moose Jaw now and on his webpage. When I first got it I thought it was like a Rainbow but it more a wet/dry vac but you have to install that metal plate inside..I'd have to see it again to remember.

Very interesting machine John, I wonder when these were made? Also wondering are there three different hoses for it? Looks like three different colors.

More pictures, yes please.

How wonderful to see one of these again...and in superb condition complete! Lordy, the blue and green hoses are simply gorgeous colours, John.

Along with more pictures perhaps you would be so kind as to scan and post the Owners manual? Please. The base is so Fairfax-like I should see if it fits on mine...it doesn't fit on a Filter Queen tub no how, no way. Since it is a Regina perhaps something will turn up.

This is the bashed remains of a WaterMatic I picked out of the garbage. I looked and looked and dug through the trash bins but no other bits to be found, just the motor unit, disc filter and a floor brush. :-(

Mine was made in Canada by IONA - REGINA Limited in Welland, Ontario.

Doug has it marked as 1963. The Canadian ones were made by Switson Industries here in Ontario. They manufactured Filter Queens in Canada as well for FQ and probably some other makers.
I missed the Regina bit, does it say Regina somewhere on yours or the paperwork?

As soon as the batteries charge up...

...I'll post some more pics. Mine says Regina on the housing in two places.

Terry, the hoses are nice, aren't they? Alas, one of them appears to be missing a fitting.

And I'll scan all the doc that came with it and post it. There's a germy-thing as well which is kind of interesting.
