This is AWESOME!!!! I have been using my husband's shop vac to suck the muck and leaves out of our very small garden pond. It was so time consuming not only to empty it out constantly but also to clean his vac up after I used it to avoid his raised eyebrows :) I just sent him a link to this video, he LOVES to tinker in the garage, this is the PERFECT project for him...and FOR ME. None of the pond crud will ever enter his vacuum again!!! WIN-WIN! THANK YOU!!!!!
I'm probably never going to use this but I just like seeing what Chris has to make, he's got some good ideas
Former service plumber here.
Your lid hack was one if the best parts.
With extra buckets and lids that without holes, this set up would be good for bucket briganding nasty water out of a home without spilling a drop.
Cool design, & i appreciate you saving the musak for AFTER you’re done explaining the build process. Thanks for sharing this! Aloha
I built your double-bucket cyclone not long ago and I ADORE it; it's perfect for a wood shop on the smaller side like mine. What I love about this is that you can use the same bottom bucket for both the saw dust cyclone AND water; just swap the lid.
Well done!!!
Hey Jake
This is one of the greatest channels on CZcams. Thank you for sharing your ideas with the world, it is much appreciated!!
Thanks for that great feedback!!
Awesome video! 👍🏼 Every time I watch one of your videos, I think “Why the hell didn’t I think of that?” 😆 I love your easy, practical solutions. Keep ‘em coming!
Such a fun video! Precise, parts list supplied, oopsies shown- loved the lid drop! Inexpensive, efficient fix. Thank you!
watching this in preparation for making my own skid mounted carpet extractor, out of all the videos and complex walkthroughs this was all i needed to understand how wet vac's are designed!
People (myself included) would do a lot more DIY if everybody could explain projects this well. Appreciate the high quality content.
Chris, 👏 bravo Sir..this is the very first video I watched of yours but this is hands down the best DIY video I’ve ever seen n would probably argue that’s out there. Seriously this is the way all diy videos should be. It was fast and to the point no bullsh*t but was explained very well with extra tips n just rolled right through with our skipping a beat, that was fkn refreshing thank you Sir ya got new subscriber can’t wait to checkout the rest of your channel
Wow, thank you!
Very nice production..! I have been doing the same thing aboard M/V Kitty Hawk for a couple years now. An old wooden boat, with many nooks and crannies where water accumulates and does not drain to the bilge. My marine version adds a tiny bilge pump inside the bucket, and a pipe to the overboard discharge. A screen around the bilge pump keeps the larger debris from clogging it, and several oil-absorbent pads prevent any evil contaminants from being pumped overboard. This BMS, Bilgewater Management System, with a 20' long intake hose can reach everywhere needed, and with the pump, remains belowdecks. No hauling the bucket to dump, and only needs mucking out once or twice a season.
super smart idea i am going to do this so i can vacuum up the bottom of my pond using my 4-gallon shop vac. I will run in to a 5-gallon bucket. thanks for the learning tip Jim
Creative underwater shot! Thanks for another cool hack!
Love the ideas and the details Chris provides. Keep them coming.
1:53 I do that too. Store things on the floor for a bit while I work on a project. It really helps people understand the technique if you say at loud " I'll just pop that there for a bit" when you do it. Stops them getting confused.
Thank you *so much* for leaving the intro as is. SO GOOD!
Great idea - Especially the cap and saves me from taking my dry filter off for water. Thanks for sharing
Chris, you are one fascinating dude. Thanks man. I may never need one of these but I might make one just because it was cool..!
Just remember people, you still need to use a vacuum suitable for sucking up water for this. We had a flood in our basement. Had to spend hours emptying our shop vac multiple times. I considered making one of these out of a 44 gallon plastic food drum and putting a valve at the bottom to empty it in case it happened again. Nice and simple design, thanks for the links to the parts.
A benefit I see is the ability to keep your shop vac always in a dry vac state.
Also... the bucket is easier to clean out than a shop vac. Nice work.
Just be careful never to let the water pass over. I wonder if a dust collecting cyclone bucket head would prevent droplets from getting sucked up by the dry vac side or make it worse. (In theory those cyclone heads should seperate the water and even droplets very effectively and create a large air gap to prevent water from getting sucked over).
@@riakata that's what I was looking for, thanks for comment it!
You're the man, man,the MAN.
I can see this being used with a large shop vac as well. My 8 gal vac doesn't have handles either, and on the rare occasions my basement floods, it would be so much more convenient to draw the water into a bucket with a handle, than to lift a shop vac full of water.
The tip about making the lid easy to remove makes the video worth watching .
I wish I could give you two thumbs up !
Buy a portable sump pump lol prolly find one u set $100 then run hose to outside and be done
@@joshymcdaniel9233 I have a sump pump installed. Twice in the past 18 years, the rain had been so heavy, that the sump pump couldn’t keepup.
@@TheJakeytoo dang I’d be moving lmao water just ruins a foundation
@@joshymcdaniel9233 House was built in 1962, I have owned it for 25 years, it’s still standing. I’m 70 years old, I ain’t moving, my next residence will be for eternity.
I dont know if I'm ever going to need to make one of these but your voice is super calming
BRILLIANT!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS AND PARTS LISTS!!!
Probably the most useful youtube video i've seen Thanks
/ nice. I used this after scrubbing tile & grout. Sucking up the floor cleaner into a bucket rather then my shop vac made life easy. Just dump the bucket and rinse with garden hose. When I just use the shop vac it requires more work ( bigger mess ) thanks for the great idea
Love the idea. Also, great underwater video.
Great idea! OK, if i have to suck up a real big amount of water, my Manutec Mammut is prefered, but for normal vacuum cleaners this is a great Add-on!
I made a similar device for a dryer lint trap on boats in the Gulf of Mexico. It keeps all the lint in the bucket and the air just goes out in the already hot engine room. The coast guard inspector was thoroughly impressed.
I like how you put the camera inside things!
Another great and simply well done video. Thank you.
Nice solution. Elegantly simple.
Oh heck yeah! Here I was thinking of converting a garbage can to work as a new bucket for my huge shop vac, but this is a MUCH more elegant solution~!
(Why didn't I think of a "middle man" approach like this??)
Next time my house starts flooding, I'll definitely consider doing something like this (on a larger scale) rather than dumping 16 gallons every 5 minutes!
This was perfect!! Love the cameras inside the buckets :) you’re great!!
Glad you liked it!!
@@chrisnotap Hi chris! I have a simple question: Can I use this system to "only-DRY" vacuum cleaner? Is there any risks to get vapour or drops of water in the final filter?
Or should I put some foam in that tube (the one that is going from orange bucket to dry vacuum)?
Thanks a lot!
Very cool idea, thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family.
God blessed us with the miracle of our lives, so let's bless God with God-honoring living.
I made a version of this before with a longer inlet pipe. You filll the bucket with water to cover the inlet tube. This makes a “bong” for drywall dust so it doesn’t clog your vac filter.
That's a similar design to the Rainbow vacuum which uses water as the filter media , Also by doing that , It will save the motor bearings because with drywall and concrete dust , Some of it always gets past the filter and is highly abrasive to the motor bearings along with the commutator and brushes
I was also going to say something about the Rainbow vacuum, but for very little money, it does the same thing. The Rainbow is about $2000.
So make the inlet tube longer?
To suck up the drywall dust. Thanks!
@@carolvandermeer7388 Yes so it is under the water.
Great idea, cool video. :) I have such solution for a few years already and it works great, makes work much easier and a bit cheaper: no need for constant replacement of vacuum cleaner bags when using in home, really nasty wet dirt may be cleaned off the ground - it's good for cleaning the styrofoam granules off the soil in the garden (if such event occurs) so they don't contaminate the soil.
awe man. this is clever ! i have yucky water i have to clear to get to a couple of storm drains and was not looking forward to getting my shop vac all smelly.
This is great.
Here's a tip you can have before anyone else gets it. With a little longer pipe on the inlet inside, you have a world class power bong.
Great project. Very clear directions. I like your style of DIY builds. No long winded stories and extensive “press the like and subscribe button”
Thanks for that great feedback!!
An excellent, first class inexpensive water vac. 👍 Fabulous
Thanks for that!
Always clever stuff Chris !
Very nice and as usual on your channel genial solutions to difficult problems explained in a simple way.
fantastic
Thanks for that great feedback!!
Good Job Chris
I like it
Thanks from Cleveland Ohio
There are lot of professional CZcamsrs, but take my word.
You are the smartest.
The SmartesT.
Believe me !
Wow!! Thanks for that!
I will make one this weekend. You are so clever. Thank you. Be well.
GREAT Video. Well put together and right to the point. I thought I was the LAST old man to use INCH measurements. : )
Glad it was helpful!
this makes an excellent setup for cleaning your spa. After the spa has drained, there's usually 10 gsllons or so dirty water in the bottom where the sand and debris lies. Also suck out the area where the filters sit. Bob's yer uncle!
The video is done so well detailed and to the point. I subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Excelente idea!!
Gracias.
Amazing! I want to build it now. Thanks.
That is great idea! Easy and very useful.
Need to build that. Thanks.
Greetings from Munich, Tom.
Greetings from CANADA!
Simple to the point, kinda funny tutorial. Thanks pal.
Neat! Love creativity in the shop!
Anyone else not need this at all but just enjoy listening
Me
No I need it, Home Depot here I come.
Maybe not *need* this at all, but for sure *want*.
I'll be making one with a longer inlet tube (to the bottom of the bucket) to use for sucking up ash which will contain it into the water in the bucket.
Both. Need it and enjoyed it...
It's a great tool, thanks a lot!
Genius,!!👍👍 thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍👍
Good as always Chris, and even though I might not need it today you. Never know.
You're a genius, sir.
Excellent! I wouldn't need this just enjoyed watching....
Just the method for making a scribe was worth the watch! :)
BRILLIANT!
Mighty Chris Notap!
Thanks man.
This stuff is why I love CZcams! It’s like having 1 million grandpas and grandmas
😂
Nice. I bet I could maybe use this to vacuum the pool. I'd need an outlet or overflow or just add a valve to hook a hose to so I can drain it as needed without moving the bucket.
Merci from Montreal, Canada.
Whether I build this bucket or not, the potential for creativity in other projects is fantastic.
I'm like you. When I do one project, the ideas flow from one to another at times. Thanks.
Now that's just darn useful! Great idea
Thanks for that!
Good job! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks a lot, very good idea. THANKS !!!!
Made one of these years ago with a smaller suction hose for my Saltwater Aquarium. Found Saltwater and ShopVac Motor Bearings don’t mix very well.
Chris, you are my hero
Just what I need, I will build one tomorrow to clean out the goo in my electrolysis tank! Thanks
You are one crazy and inventive dude. I tip my hat to you. I'm a little crazy and inventive also. Now for a suggestion for you as I'm not a video person or one who makes videos. Here's what I would like you to consider. Cleaning your vacuum cleaner you use in the house. When you do this, you will become a "vacuum cleaner". Do a video about a tear-down, cleaning and reassembly of the in-house vacuum cleaner. It positively extends the life of one. I also use a brush attachment to suck the dust off the HEPA filters, it extends the life of them as well.
Great message here.. thank you for sharing this post.. Robert Jr NJ here.
This video blew my mind! Thank you sir
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome! Had a little bit of a flooding problem just last week and put a little drain valve on my vac, but was still annoying not having the volume capacity. Im gonna build one these now, but I'm also wondering about adding a check ball water stopper thingy... brain gears turning!
I didn't add a ball valve to keep it simple. You can see the level of the water through the side of the bucket plus if you're using a shop vac it doesn't matter if a little gets sucked up. Good luck!
Excellent video sir! My only recommendation would be to set up a float valve on the vacuum hose to prevent over filling your bucket. Maybe attach a wooden ball somehow? Something large enough to not immediately block flow into the vacuum hose as soon as it is turned on, but still buoyant enough to block airflow when the water level rises high enough.
I like to keep things simple. You can see the level of the water through the side of the bucket.
So if I want to save on space and already built your dust collector I can just just build the lid! Awesome system!!!
I wonder if drilling/cutting a sort of "bypass hole" above the bottom lip of the outlet pipe (inside the bucket) would reduce the chances of water being sucked to the actual vacuum. I remember the concept from an aftermarket cold air intake made for cars. There was a separation in the pipe downstream of the filter so that in case the inlet was submerged, it would reduce the chances of sucking water into your engine by sucking air through the valve.
I really liked this and your separator video. You've got a new subscriber in me!
Nice job putting the camera in The bucket that was cool
Great stuff!
Brilliant, my compliments
Thank you, well done.
Thanks for the double bucket tips 👍
My bucket begins to buckle as soon as the vacuum is on just from tre resistance of the hose.
And if the end is blocked for 1/10 of a second or suck something big and heavy it collapses totally.
And it was the best bucket i could find.
Have even tried with wood bracing innside but it just bends over and crumbles anyway
Especially with these high power vacuum sweepers , They lower the atmospheric pressure in the bucket and the atmospheric pressure outside of bucket pushes against every square inch of the bucket causing it to collapse , when atmospheric pressure outside a container takes over , You'd be surprised how much force it creates
I love your videos
hi C N...
'
wow that is a so great wonderful idea
Great idea!! Enjoyed the video. I just found your channel & subscribed! 🙂
Thanks for that and welcome!
Very smart!
Thank you so much for this video
That’s a neat solution.
Excellent job.. kudos
Great video . Good idea.
I am going to use this idea for cleaning my Aquarium. You can do a partial water change and clean out your undergravel filter by attaching to the lift tube and cycle the vacuum on and off a few seconds.
A piece of pink insulation board may help to act as a shut off when the bucket is full. Just big enough to fit in the bottom of the bucket. It should float to the top and block the intake port.
Yes, that could work!
Beautiful camera work
I like it !
Amazing 👌🏼. Thanks
