Worked exactly how it said it would!

Missing a filter and I messaged them about the problem. Sent a message to the company and heard nothing back. The pump looks great, haven't used it yet. But be nice to know if they can send me a filter for it or not.

Attached to my water vac with no problems, makes water cleanup effortless.

I thought I was getting a shop vac pump that you could attach to a bucket to create a working shop vac. This is actually an accessory to empty out the bucket--it's a wet pump to empty out the reservoir of a DeWalt shop vac. I had to purchase a separate shop vac to make use of this, but it does its intended purpose--I had a clogged drain. I used the shop vac to empty out the P trap and in-wall drain as I unscrewed it, and then used this pump to pump the water into another sink on a different drain about 20 feet away. It saved me a step of getting up and emptying the shop vac trap.

I had to fix a leaking toilet seal…so I used this on my hand held vacuum to get the remaining water in the toilet. It worked perfect for the job.

Love it am so happy Dewalt made it... It's so much better then taking it out and empty it

This pump is good for pumping fairly clean (of debris) out of your shopvac to most practical distances. It can do so fast enough that you probably can't suck up water faster than it can empty.Like most pumps you should not run it dry if you are empty this far away you will need to try and pay attention to the sounds or use another method to know when its drained the shopvac completely. These pumps don't overheat immediately but there are multiple things that can be damaged by running it dry not the least of which is drastically shortening the motor's or seal lifespan. It does have a power switch that is fairly accessible though which makes it easier to toggle.The oem manufacturer (Alton) states you can run it while the shopvac is running but unless you are doing constant large volume suction it may not be a great idea. Without it running you can leave it attached although may want to shut the shutoff valve.When using the wetvac normally you have a filter over the motor to ensure no debris get pulled through it. This has a basic debris filter but it is far less fine than the motors filter. This is also located at the bottom of the shopvac meaning you will have most solids settling around where it is. If you are going to be using it with debris in the fluid your best bet would be an intake filter over the end of your hose.Personally though I would use a proper pump with debris shield and not a shopvac for that (ie a swamp pump). There are also stand alone pumps for clear fluids you put it down and it can pump out far easier than this (submersible / pond pumps). This does help with a common issue I run into and that is shallow depth floods. If you have under a 1/4" of water that can still be a disaster if that water is somewhere it isn't supposed to be but submersible pumps won't generally work that shallow. In addition if you have water in pockets that are too small for most pumps that is also a challenge. Another case is when the leak is elevated, say you are cutting into a pipe and need to contain that at the source, no pump it setup to do that. Shopvacs can easily get to the fluids in these areas. Just a shopvac alone though is a pain to keep emptying. I have used dust extractors that work for wet vacs which help (can go into larger/easier to empty buckets) but you still have to pause to empty, if you are containing an active leak stopping may be a non option (putting you behind and having the water flood then).This pump is the perfect solution for that. You can still shopvac up fluids from anywhere and you can run the pump while sucking and the only caveat is you need to avoid running dry. Keep in mind as well running the shopvac with the pump attached does mean the shopvac is still trying to pull fluid from the outport.If you wanted a fully automated solution you could potentially put a float style sensor in the shopvac to control the pump but that is overkill for most people I would assume.

I wanted a drainage tool that I could hook up to my water heater and drain the water tank into a toilet or bathtub, with minimal effort. My plumber had a similar pump ( designed for the actual use of emptying a hot water heater tank ) that I wanted for the same reason, without having to use a shop vac to do so. So I acquired fittings that would incorporate the filter in the shop vac side, to a PVC reducer that had a brass hose bibb fitting that would accommodate a length of hose that would screw on the water heater and onto the filter end of the pump. So I turned in on and whoosh! A force of water and sediment flowed fiercely from the water heater into the pump and into my toilet in seconds from a 30 gallon hot water heater! I live on a second floor condo unit, so attaching a hose to run downstairs on to a sidewalk was impractical, so this was my only recourse and it certainly didn't disappoint! Worked better than my plumber's pump! I still have yet to actually use it by it's intended function with a wet/dry vac, but certain I will one day.
