<p>This is the original OEM factory 2 1/2 quart water pan for the E2 Type 12 (Black, Silver, e2 Gold Series), and E-2 (e SERIES™) Rainbow vacuum cleaning system. We do not sell aftermarket water pans as reviews and experience have shown them to be inferior in quality and more likely to break.</p> <p>We also offer a larger 4 quart water pan that is nice when picking up a lot of dirt as it gives more water for the dirt to filter through. It also allows for more water pickup when you have a spill or are shampooing.</p> <p>Original item number R7876 was a 2 quart design before it was replaced with this larger standard 2 1/2 quart version. The early version also had a silver warning label with item number R6853 in the lower corner.</p>
