Can vac be used to suck up water
2038326
This vacuum isn't labeled as a wet/dry vac so I have not tried and therefore cannot answer your question. The unit does have a fabric filter and I think water would actually wet the filter and damage the unit.

No, it's a dry vac only. And it doesn't work well for sawdust for more than 5 minutes.

NO, if your question is cleaning "stains" on carpets and so on, it does not have a BRUSH, so it wouldn't do the trick, but it can suck up water if you need it to

Typically you can just stick your hose into your water source and pull the handle backwards and forwards until the water comes out. If that doesnt work you can get some water in the tube and blow the water into the pumps housing. This helps actually get water into the body of the pump if it wont pickup the water from its source. You have to understand that you need to allow your water source to not be sealed up otherwise your container of water will create a vacum as you are pumping something out and do not introduce air. If your water source is sealed it will need venting to stop the vacum. I used mine as a portable beer pump.

I have not tried it with water. Can only speculate that water being heavier than mdf or wood dust it may fall in the bucket instead of the vac.

It does not work as a regular vacuum cleaner where the dirt goes in a bag or so.... it sucks the dirt pass it through the hose out... I filter the dirty water and the clean water goes in a separate container so it can be used again.

We used it to suck water up and some vapor made it to the paper filter of the shop vac.

No this unit is not made to vacuum up water, and you will surely ruin it if you try. It is a very strong vacuum however and you will not be disappointed in that regard.

Don't really know. I gave it as a gift and I'm pretty sure he didn't use it for water.He really only wanted it for vacuuming out the car but said it didn't really have enough suction.

No you cannot use this machine for vacuum use only because there is no attachment for that. The two stages of filtration are a small filter that you place inside the wand and another filter into the actual machine chamber.

First question answer is no.Second no you just vacuum the water up with water attachment. This thing works great!!!

Absolutely, I use it for vacuuming and also water changes. It works well in both ways.

No, we would not recommend using this unit to suction water as it would damage the vacuum. Check out one of our carpet deep cleaners for use with water extraction like the BISSELL DeepClean Essential Full Sized Carpet Cleaner, 8852

I think your question is a silly one! If you have a pool any vacuum will work! This will brush and suck up just like any vacuum. Maybe I don't understand the question!

Yes, I think so, but you would be limited by the cord, which isn't as long as a vac. cord would be.

The shop vac is intended to pull up water that is from a spill (large) orfrom arunoff. For a larger volume (like from a hot tub) I'd suggest a sump pump

I really don't think it would work as it needs that suction through the vac to suck all the debris off the surface of the pool.

Yes. But I recomend that you use the new hoses that come with it. The hoses can get tiny cracks in them that can effect suction. Also the hoses get memory over time.
