Vacuum question
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? Steve |
