I acquired this nice Sliver King from Phillip at the VCCC convention in June. Can these be used to suck up water? Does it require a special kit to do so? Do I remove or leave the filter in place while sucking up water?
I found some videos on YouTube of the Sliver King Blue Max. Suggesting that you can use it to suck up water to clean out the hose. CLICK HERE TO GO TO kloveland's LINK

Hmm
Before they closed down I called and asked them about water pickup, and if there was a ball float type of thing. I was told to just use the polypropylene filters. I wouldn't do that with a flow through model, but i did try it with my Blue max 2000. It worked, but it's certainly not an elegant solution for it.

Don't do it without the ball float and a foam type filter made to catch water and be rung out. Same principle in shop vacs that pick up water. In most shop vacs, a steady diet of water will start to rust things unless the works are stainless.
