Hello, I am new to the group and I have a perplexing (to me anyway) question for the group.
How can I automatically drain a shop vac reservoir of its water? I would like to cut a hole in the bucket to drain the water during a \"off\" cycle. I beleive a automatic valve (24vdc) or such would suffice but is there a way to drain the bucket passively? ie. no electric solution?
The problem: I want to suck up water in a basement from a rain storm using a wet shop vac instead of a traditional sump pump installation. It is not a big leak, more of a niusence type. It only leaks on very heavy rain. Idea is to buy a wet dry vac that couples with a 5 gallon bucket from Lowes of Home Depo. Drill a hole in the bottom and install sink drain hardware. If I could cycle the power based on the bucket high and low levels, I could creat an \"off cycle\" of the vac for which the bucket could drain. Is this plausable or am I \"all wet\" on this idea?
