Bucket head vacuum attachment, nice!

[davocean]

I finally picked up a bucket head vacuum attachment from HD.
So far I'm really liking this thing, and I plan on this being my go to sump/fuge area cleaning tool.

Fits on any 5g bucket, stores fairly small space, you can dedicate a bucket to your tank only, pretty easy to use and clean, highly suggest checking them out and picking one up, not a bad deal for $23

Yes they are fantastic.. Even better with adjustments to adjust the vacuum so you can adjust the GPH its pulling out..

Lol, as usual I'm late to the party i spose...oh well, glad I finally got one and I plan to get the long thin tube to lower that flow/pull rate

I have one of these in my work van.. I always have 5 gallon buckets and hate getting Bigger Ridgid shop vac wet then having to dry it immediately..
This thing takes up Very Little space, I use it mostly to suck the water from toilets when lifting them for work .. ..

Never thought about getting one just for the Sump room. next time i homodepot i will grab on

Just don't use it to suck up drywall dust and forget to check that the paper filter is still there... oh the clouds/mess

This is why i do NOT use my Reg shop vac for water.. I have a few times forgot it had water in it then used to for drywall,dust and so on.. That is ONE HUGE MESS.:debi:

Yeah I figure this will be perfect to dedicate to tank and small for storage, and keep the shop vac for the dirty work stuff.

I have one. It sucks my sump dry before I can finish cleaning the bottom with it.

How do you make it adjustable?

T off the suction line and let some air in

I bought a small 2.5 gallon shop vac and about a month later I saw this bucket head... I guess I should buy one anyway to use as a wet vac. The little one is just too small for any wet vacuuming.
