This vacuum can be used for HVAC and I believe artwork. Its designed primarily for air conditioning. Its mostly used to create a vacuum (remove oxygen from a Air conditioning unit) in your a/c system and I dont recommend this will work on other major projects listed above, with exception of lab use. I would not recommend it for the above projects. I hope this helps you.

I don't have any experience with the pump referred. Only used it for my phone and electronics. Seems to work for this application.

The pump is small and accurate but has a limited lower range, in most cases...depending on your need and the psi range it should do the job.

Hey! Wondering if you ended up purchasing this pump, I'm looking for one for basically the same purpose, 5 gallon bucket, 1/4" tubing to a diamond drill bit on my drill press for stonework. Then with a drain tube running the water back into the bucket. I'd really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions, thank you!

the pump is very heavy duty plastic and the entire unit works GREAT....will safe us a fortune going forward....no need to buy new $20+ each year. Still happy we bought it!

It's a good little unit works great. It produces great suction in fact the first 5 gallon bucket I connected it too collapsed from the suction. I took care of that issue by making some braces to strengthen the bucket. You will be amazed at how clean your filter stays. My shop vac filter would clog between dog hair and sawdust very quickly, not anymore.

It should be connected to the pump. There should be a fitting for this; they are often located in the bottom of the skimmer, under the basket. You must have a strainer between the vacuum hose and the pump to protect the impeller. This vacuum head can be used with 1 1/2" or 1 1/4" vacuum hose.

This is commercial grade so it'll suck up everything. No bags to buy and we're still using the original filter thing. My wife is short so the wand was way to long for her use in a conventional home. Cut it down with care. Good alternative to dragging a canister but remember it's now on you back and not to run into things. Works just fine on carpet - why wouldn't it?

It's designed for shop vac. The opening is probably too large for a regular vacuum unless you can rig up something to make the connection airtight.

I use THE Wanda the Whale pool vacuum that hooks directly to the filters intake and it works great for my 24ft x52 in intex pool. I would recommend this pump to anyone. goodbye chlorine and paper filters

Any vacuum that is wet-dry will pick up liquids just fine. The filter should not be in the vac when used for liquids. Just get the size of vac that meets your needs.

I use it all the time and with a four port manifold this pump can pull down an average residential system to 0 microns in no time. It is a little heavy but Its super tough. Ive raced a jb pump with mine twice now and the yellow jacket is just a monster. I do a lot of comercial and some residential. This pump works great at getting to a low vacuum quickly every time in any situation. It pulls down quicker than a 10 cfm jb pump I know for sure

The simple answer is yes. I think you will find this pump will suit your needs quite well.

The pump will suck down to about an 1/8 of an inch in my experience. I've used this pump in a rental property when the main sewer line backed up and put about a foot of water in the basement - it took a while but it cleared it out. Also used it when minor flooding happened in June and I had a few inches of water in my own basement. This pump has been worth the cost and it has performed very well.

I use it as a booster pump for a reverse osmosis. A pump as those used in RV's would probably work better and be simpler to hook up. Also less expensive

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

I used it for drain hose for a pump but it looks like it might work with a shop vac. It is not as heavy as my shop vac hose.
