I need a vacuum that I can put into a pipe, and have it suck out the
contents like a vacuum. Not a sump pump that is lowered, or a pump that
needs to be primed, or even a self priming pump. I need to occasionally
pump a four inch vertical pipe where fluids accumulate below grade, and run
it out 200' downhill through a 3/4" hose. Doing that will create some
suction and head pressure on its own. Almost all pumps are larger than 4",
and those that have a garden hose intake are flimsy and the impeller won't
take much solids and sand, which may compose some of the content.

Ideas?

I thought of getting a dedicated wet vac, and putting a through the hull
fitting on it that would drain the water out of the tank, putting a 90 ball
valve on there, and opening it when the tank got close to full.

Ideas?

There are very simple "pumps" powered by water pressure that would probably do
what you want. With the suction from the long downward outlet tube, it would
probably only need to run for a bit to start the suction. For that matter, a
check valve with a 'T' above it going to the outlet hose could be used. Turn on
water into the 'T' to start the outlet hose siphon, then turn it off. The siphon
will open the check valve to siphon out the water until it gets low enough to
draw air and break the siphon. This would have the advantage of relative
immunity to damage by crud in the water. The check valve and 'T' would be placed
near the bottom of the pipe.

There are also wet/dry vacs with a pump built in to empty liquids even with the
vacuum on, or shop vacs with a hose connection on the tank already.

Get a fire hose. I see 'em on Ebay from time to time. A 2" canvas hose won't
cost much.

I think I could make the nineties in that so I could stick it down the
vertical pipe. It might work.

Why do you need to pump out this pipe?

Can you use a cap with a hose fitting and let it fill to capacity and
then drain out on it's own?

You'd need to "permanently" install the 200' of hose (or PVC pipe) but
you'd be one and done instead of "occasionally" having to set up your
pump system for short term use.

Or you might be able to run a tube from the center hole down the pipe.

That's the one I was talking about. The problem might be the size of the water
inlet hole might be small enough to plug up with the "solods" in the pipe.

How deep is this pipe you need to pump out? A vacuum can only lift water about
30 feet at the absulute maximum, which would limit the check valve/siphon system
I talked about before.

What are you trying to do? Sounds like you've got a borehole
that needs to have the water pumped down hill some how. I've
got a maybe idea, but it would take some trying to explain.

REPLY: I DID NOT POST THE ABOVE. This is Steve B. The real one. The one

that the paths from my history of posts is not anything like the person who

You have always contributed good stuff, DD, and we have spoken a lot in the

shall munge my ID as soon as this clown imitates me, and still sign my posts
The Real Steve B, so as to get some posts in until my shadow tires and goes
away.
