How shop vac pump water?
A shop vac pumps water by using its vacuum motor to create suction, which draws water into the collection tank through a hose. The vacuum's design allows it to handle liquids, often featuring a float mechanism that stops suction when the tank is full. Some shop vacs have a specific setting or attachment for wet vacuuming, ensuring they can effectively manage both water and debris. After collecting the water, the user can then empty the tank as needed.

Can water destroy a vacuum cleaner?
YES Machines designed to work with water have valves to prevent damage to the motor. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In short, Yes. A standard upright vacuum cleaner you'd find in most homes can not tolerate moisture. Shop Vacs on the other hand can suck up water but again the motor can NOT get wet. Shop Vacs employ a pretty simple device to ensure the motor never sucks water up. On the suction end of the vacuum there is a cage that is fully surrounding a float. The float is too heavy to be sucked up when there is nothing pushing it up. but as the water rises in the tank the float gets higher and higher to the suction port until it gets close enough for the port to grab it, effectively stopping the vacuum from sucking anything else. Same as covering the hose with your hand you will hear the motor pick up speed as there is no wind resistance on the fan anymore. Just dump the water out and keep right on a sucking.

How To Save Money On Shop Vacs?
A shop vac is a handy accessory to have for anyone. It is useful for commercial and residential use because it is portable. Shop vacs provide the most efficient way to clean out a car's upholstery or messes in a shop where a regular vacuum would not be appropriate. Since they are able to take much harsher materials entering their canister, shop vacs are fairly expensive in most places. Unlike regular vacuum cleaners, they do not become obsolete quickly. This make is hard to find a used one for a decent price also. There are ways to save money when searching for one of these items. This article will explain some of the best ways to save. The first place to look for a quality shop vac at a low price is a second-hand store. Vacuum shops that sell used and refurbished items usually have shop vacs for at least half the price they are at full retail value. When choosing where to buy one of these items from, it is important to research the quality of work the shop produces. Read consumer reviews about the shop online. If the shop is in a small town, ask around to see if they have a good reputation. An honest shop owner will usually offer a limited warranty for at least a few months on the refurbished items they sell. If the item is refurbished and not used and as-is, there is no reason a shop owner won't stand behind their work, unless they are not confident of their skills. In this case, it is obviously a good idea to avoid doing business with them or money will be lost. Another place to look is online. Auction sites such as eBay and Amazon offer buyer protection to ensure that products sold are presented in an honest fashion. If the description of the shop vac is lacking information, ask the seller and have a copy of each message sent to a personal email; there will be an option to select this after composing a message. Online warehouse stores often sell shop vacs for the lowest price new, if a new vac is desired.
