Hi
The challenge is on!
What RCD? Plenty of places don't have one. For this experiment its a location with no RCD, of any kind.
lol, I dont think it would be extreme care trying anything like this :)
ah no, you misunderstand, its worse than that. In cylinder vacs all the air pumped by the impellor goes straight thru the motor to cool it. Not around it, thru it. That's how they use such small high power motors. So if one is used for pumping, the water goes right thru the motor mechanics and electrics from minute one. :)

We got a 500 watt motor on a 30A fuse, 240v ring main. There is the question of just how much power would flow thru the water, I don't know. I spose if we dip most of the mains lead in the water we could at least cool that too. After all its only 2A rated.
Hehe, how much you want to bet? I say it can be done. And I'm wililng to post practical results.
I simply mean is it possible - not is it reliable, safe and sensible, just possible. And not for 3 seconds, but possible to empty the whole
1000 gallon tank. That's about 4.5 tonnes of rainwater. So I expect it'll need to run for more than 0.1 hours.A big tank of rain water sitting next to a house. So, barely clean, no ducks anyway. Certainly not ion free.
valves. But
Hehe. What I mean is by plugging it in the mains and sticking the nozzle in the water. The really stupid way.
Well no-one's convinced me I can't do it yet :)
In case anyone's tempted, NEVER try this dangerous idea at home. Its really stupid.
