Hi all,
I use a containment mat when detailing a vehicle. To suction the water/dirt out of the mat, I use a Shop Vac with a built-in water pump. The vac (once the water level reaches 4") then pumps the waste to a waste tank.
My trouble is with the Shop Vac and the foam from a foam canon... the shop vac does not handle the foam very well and just spits it out the exhaust, making a mess. Plus, I have to pinch the host in order to get the flow going from the shop vac into the waste tank.
What I am looking for is a type of pump (ac power/110) where I can connect a vacuum hose to one end (intake) and the other to a waste tank (output). The pump must be able to simply pass the water/dirt thru on into the waste tank and also be tolerable to running dry.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
