wet n dry vacs??
« on: February 11, 2008, 09:02:50 pm »
i know the tech clean one is good, but i think one with a automatic pump out would be better so just the sand, moss, dirt is left in the drum, some of the jobs i do have bad drainage so i need to expel the water from the vac so its just the crap left so i can bin it. otherwise i would have to empty the drum somwhere and do it lots of times as there is a lot of sludge on big jobs. i have not even got a vac at the moment and today i spent an hour trying to drain the water off the sludge to scoop it up with a shovel!!  what a nightmare. with the right vac i could let the water just go down the grid and sediment stay in vac. i have posted a similar thing before a while ago apologies but am after more help or ideas on the subject as im sure others have the same problem!  many thanks for reading this,

I have just finished paint stripping a factory floor utilising my steam cleaner.

This job had little or no drainage  so i hired a numatic wet vac with auto pump system.
This proved to be very effective - collecting all the muck and dispensing the water down the drain via 10m of tubing.

The vac had an auto pump feature which was triggered once water levels reached max capacity
At regular intervals i would empty sludge from vac - i am now looking at purchasing one of these machines.

Why not hire one and see if its what your looking for.
