can this pump be adapted to a vacuum? thanks

Sounds like a great idea, however filtering the water is all it does, as is. You would get a better answer by contacting Intex directly @ http://www.intexcorp.com/index.php/contacts/

I am not sure. I think it could if you were handy - same principle as larger pool but smaller in size and capacity. Honestly, I had this on my deck for my child and all I had to do was maintain the chemicals and use a skimmer. After some challenging weather, I got in the pool and wiped everything with a rag, skimmed it and we were good to go.

As long as the vacuum motor is a brush type motor it will work. The commercial cleaning equipment manufacturers are starting to use voltage reducing switches on some of their backpack vacuums. They are doing this do reduce the noise level because there are more building going to daytime cleaning. Gunslinger45 has a great idea though. You could make a homemade suction diverter by drilling a hole on the upper end of your vac tool and using a piece of cork to plug it when you want full suction. Pull the cork out, it lets air in and reduces the suction.

No, the skimmer utilizes the suction side of the pump via a short hose from the skimmer to the wall inlet. To vacuum you must disconnect the skimmer hose from the wall inlet and attach the vacuum to the inlet.

Yes. However, it is durable and will last many years. Also, it is adaptable to many vacuum sealer devices. I use mine with a hand pump. It also works with SealAMeal and Vacu-Seal systems.

I woul think so. The pump works on suction. It is cheap chinse poorly manufactured, and needs some work to make it functional. The pickup tube needs to be sealed, I used epoxy. The pump housing needs to be air tight, use a torqwrench to tighten the bolts evenly(important - evenly), also the gasket may be defective - I used 100% clear silicone sealant as a replacment gasket. After I applied the above fixes, it worked just fine. Good luck!

It comes with an adapter. If your vacuum has a standard hose end you won't even need to use it. I've used my set of attachments with several different makes and types of Vacs without any problems.

It depends on the air pump. If the pump runs on 120 vac house current, then yes. If the pump runs on 12 vdc, then no. If the 120 vac pump draws more than 175 watts, then no.

Vacuum pump only...not a very good purchase....I would buy better quality if I were to buy another one.....

This is a vacuum pump - it just pulls air. It sounds like you need an air compressor, which has a tank on it.

I don't see why not, as long as you have an outlet you can plug the pump into - everything is hard plastic.

I purchased this item as a gift. But did notice it had a vacuum hose which I assumed was to do just that. Sorry I couldn't really answer your question completely.

this pump makes a decent amount of vacuum, rather quickly, but it does take time to get to 30hg,maybe consider a surge tank incorporated with the pump for lengthen deep vacuum time.

Yes, the vacuum requires a 120VAC power source (plug). While that may be inconvenient for some, it provides a much better vacuum than a DC vacuum since it has more power.

Won't work as the pump has to be submerged. Use a wet-dry vacuum instead. Will be quicker and easier!

I don't think you can. It is a Dyson attachment so you need to have a Dyson Vacuum

Nope, it's not made for that kind of function. I would look for a vacuum bottle. You can find short ones if you that is what you need.

There is no technical reason why you can't but I don't use this pump in that capacity. I used it for casting silicone and latex degassing. Next application was to make a vac bag for wood veneer. Its fairly inexpensive, I suggest you buy it.
