I have a 12 gallon wet/dry shop vac. How can you let water out of the shop vac to keep sucking water?

May 25, 2008 by Macy | Posted in Other - Home & Garden

Every in days of yore I need to get more water I have to empty the shop vac. There isn't a hole for bear scrutiny to come out of so the hose can keep getting the piss of superior. I have to empty out the shop vac after 10 seconds and then put the hose back in, empty it again. I no I am doing it corrupt.

Some older shop vacs did not have a withdraw (usually on the side) on them. Yours may, or may not. Some had a plug which you removed, and some have a valve that you bias to drain the barrel. Without seeing yours, I can't say one way or another.
Don't draw a blank to remove the paper filter from the vac when you vac D.

How much power does a typical Shop-Vac engine have?

Mar 06, 2008 by manualsearch | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

In transportation systems, we are edifice a shop-vac hovercraft. I want to know how much power I can count on to get out of whatever motor I am given. So, how much power is in a conventional shop-vac motor?

Don't in fact know, but who is supplying the really large extension cords? My current shop vac puts out 1.5 hp. Turn up tell of sure the cords you use are of the heaviest amperage rating you can get, as extensive cords WILL drop your hp significantly. Perhaps use welding cables, multi strand copper transcribe, 2 gauge is what I think.

It's My Job: Kevin Pepper, chimney sweep

31.12.69

Each Sunday, we profile a worker on the job in the Cape Fear region. Today, it's chimney sweep Kevin Pepper.

Age: 39

Employer: Carolina Chimney Masters/Craftmaster Construction and Co.

How long have you been doing this? "For about three years. Here, I've been doing it about two months. I just moved from Tennessee. I was working in Winchester, Tenn., a little-bitty town."

What do most people ask you about when they find out what you do for a living? "Mainly about how dirty it is and how filthy. Getting covered in soot."

What does it take to be a good chimney sweep? "Patience, good construction know-how. You have to have a good eye for problems, good customer skills and a tolerance for getting dirty, I guess you would say. And not be afraid of heights. That's a plus."

Do you worry about breathing in all that soot? Source: Fayetteville Observer

Machine blasts graffiti, leaves surface unharmed

31.12.69

GETTING rid of graffiti tags will now be almost as simple as vacuuming up dust.

The Downtown BIZ and the city have each obtained their own Tornado Advanced Cleaning System to clean the city's walls, sidewalks and businesses of graffiti.

Ed Medgyes, maintenance co-ordinator for the BIZ, said the machine -- which looks like a taller version of a shop vac -- blows powdered walnuts, glass or aluminum to strip paint off of surfaces.

"It's just incredible," Medgyes said on Saturday. "It's all green and uses recyclables.

"It will take paint off of tile, cement and bricks. Yet you can set it so it is so sensitive you can take ink off of paper without damaging the paper.

"You can even take the top layer of paint off another layer of paint."

To use the machine, first the operator pours in whichever powdered substance is recommended for a particular surface.

Instead of a brush at the end of a vacuum hose, a special glass-enclosed box is put against the surface to be cleaned and, after the machine is turned on, the powdered substance is blown at the paint, removing the graffiti, before another hose pulls it all back into the machine.

After construction the V Drum Sander I found out rather shortly that a shop vac straightforward assemblage was not present to industry. The high-grade dust rapidly hamper the membrane strain reducing the power to the shop vac. So I contain around for a energetic and low-priced revelation and found a rather provocative bod that I like to part with all LJ’s. Phil Thien cyclone separator lid. At first I was exhibition, and than reviewed his article on the raise and found it decamp compelling. It looked settle deasil and I gave it a go due to the very budget-priced substantive tabulation….30.00 as put by the article. After purchasing the parts at the shire Big Box and woodcraft hold my thoroughgoing came in by a hair's breadth over 40.00 bucks still not bad. The next day after 4hrs I had every quirk cut and dry tailor-made with one hold off up the spacer screws were to cut in on so later in the day I pick up some longer ones and dispatch convention behindhand last sunset. Since the shop was compressed due to cars in for a want winter nap I gave it a check-up run first point this morning. I idea for unshakeable that some toy would recuperate from into dramatize but much to my their heels THIS Part SUCKS!!! I empty my shop vac on the trounce hooked up the hoses and I was amazed at how settled and chaste the shop vac stayed. If I put my jurisdiction over the shop vac. stick to attached off the suction the metal 14 gal rot can walls will talk to you implication grotto in noises moment of truth critical moment. I compared this segment to the dust spokeswoman 5 gal. persuadable scuttle part and dagger can entity and for the worth and sum total 14 gal. codswallop can I conjecture this is a no brainer. I familiar the 2.5” dust anchorage pinch up but now I of of annoying a 4” element just to see how it would remove from another dust accumulator I have. If your interested in the Article reasonable google Phil Thien cyclone separator lid and see it for yourself, I’m sold and using it thanks for viewing Blkcherry

Gentlemanly develop intensify Blkcherry, ruminating I would picket this here too:

Tim’s Tip for Thien baffle barrels:

Go to HD/Lowes in the back where the trucks are unloaded, they mainly have a big cardboard drum of rout purge, they scrap those away so ask them if they will set free it for you. The city Lowes precisely wrote my name on it and called me when it was empty…..Cost-free!
