Quite a few people inc Numatic do these or have done in the past.
Just a sub pump with a float valve & a bit of pipework.


It did occur to me that a submersible in a suitable container before
the main vac (which wouldn't even need to be a wet'n'dry) would do
the trick.

Just need to find suitable container.


The vac would need to be wet & dry. Dry vacs have direct air cooling to the
motor, so moist air would fuber it. Wet vacs have by pass or secondary
cooled motors so moist air is exhaused elsewhere.

Pump out vacs tend to have the pump in the bottom of the vac container so
they tend to be larger sized machines.
