Review on Powerful 12 Gallon Shop-Vac 5821200 Wet/Dry Pump Vac - 5.0 Peak Horsepower (1-Pack) by Dhoal Shankar

:) I bought this to vacuum the bottom of the pool. It may seem strange, but that's what is being done. I could use a pool system but I don't like sending crap to a DE pool filter if I can avoid it. It made it. Since this was a pool and not 2 inches of water in a basement or something, I had to drill a 3/8 hole in the extension, closer to the top so it would draw in water more slowly than it would without it. A piece so made that fits on the head of a vacuum cleaner, but it didn't work because it was on the bottom of the pool. So I drilled an extension tube near the top where I keep it. It worked fine. Then up the suction for something, I could just put my thumb on it for a second and it would have it. If I had one criticism I'd say that despite the hole, no matter where it is it still collects too much water, the instructions say so. Although it pumps water overboard while cruising you have to stop every few seconds , take your head out of the water, flip the switch and pump the water out of the tub. But net, I wanted to empty the pool without sending any data to the DE filter in the pool, and I did. Once I got the hang of it, everything worked flawlessly. :)
