Sump cleaner

I use socks, but also vacuum when I do a W/C. I reduced the vacuum hose to a RO hose so I don't suck up as much water.

Pretty cool idea, bucket vac is maybe 20 bucks at hd. Reducer info would be helpful though

1"S-1/2"T PVC reducer with a 1/2"T John Guest fitting. It puts some strain on the motor I would guess, but I have yet to burn one out.

would you please give a step by step instruction in making the hose reducer part. pics of them disassembled would be great. i'm telling my kids to make me one for father's day.

thanks, tom

Sorry for the delayed reply. I use a 1"-1/2" PVC reducer, and thread a 1/2" John Guest fitting in it. The 1" part goes into the hose on the buckethead and you just put a RO line in the John Guest fitting.
