Title: Q Washers mudsucker?
Post by: Rob@Blast off on June 10, 2014, 12:25:41 pm: Has anyone used or got one of the Q washers mudsuckers? Am I right in thinking if I've got pools of standing mucky water I can use one of these to pump it away?
As I've got a job coming up where the patio falls away from the drains so need someway of getting it towards the drains any ideas?

The people who lay these need shot!! How long do you think the outlet hose can go? Would it work with a 20/30 metre hose?

Thanks Gavin

Post by: Smudger on June 16, 2014, 08:36:21 pm: I'm a bit stumped by this,

To remove standing water/flooding you put the mudsucker on the end of your hose/lance place in water and turn on PW ? Do you keep it running until the water is gone or is there a syphon effect so when water starts down pipe you turn off PW?

Do you, can you have it fitted to end of lance or just hose ?

Cheers
