Embodiments include a waste recovery system for a floor surface maintenance machine. The waste recovery system comprises a squeegee assembly having a squeegee frame, a squeegee retainer extending below the squeegee frame and a reservoir integrally defined in the squeegee retainer. The reservoir can have an inlet passage proximal to the floor surface, an outlet passage fluidly coupled to the fluid suction path and leading to the waste recovery tank, and a fluid trap portion positioned between the inlet and outlet passages. The fluid trap portion can retain backflow fluids in the fluid suction path. The reservoir is positioned at a clearance distance from the floor surface in a direction normal to the floor surface such that the reservoir forms the lowest portion of the waste recovery system in the direction normal to the floor surface.

A liquid treatment system comprising a main flow path, a bypass flow path fluidly coupled to a main flow path, and a liquid conditioning module fluidly coupled with the bypass flow path with a reservoir holding treatment components added to liquid entering the reservoir from the bypass flow path to form a treatment solution. A flow rate of liquid in the main flow path is controlled independently of a flow rate of treatment solution flowing into the main flow path. A dispensing component fluidly coupled to the liquid conditioning module controls flow rates or pressures of treatment solution flowing out of the bypass flow path and into the main flow path independently of flow rate of liquid flowing in the main flow path. The liquid treatment system comprises a drop tube system suspended in treatment solution having the highest treatment concentration.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SUPPLYING TREATMENT LIQUIDS HAVING NANOBUBBLES
A method and apparatus are provided for cleaning a surface (125, 410). In one example, the method includes passing a feed liquid from a liquid source (106) to an electrolysis cell (10) and inducing a current through the electrolysis cell (10) to electrochemically activate the feed liquid in the electrolysis cell (10). Electrolysis of the feed liquid can generate an electrochemically-activated liquid that is supersaturated with dissolved gases (e.g., oxygen and/or hydrogen) and also contains nanobubbles. In one configuration, the electrolysis cell generates a concentration of nanobubbles having a diameter of 10nm to 450 nm of at least 1x10°. The method can further involve dispensing at least one portion of the electrochemically-activated liquid to the surface (125, 410).
