Will is suck water out of a hot tub?

The shop vac is intended to pull up water that is from a spill (large) orfrom arunoff. For a larger volume (like from a hot tub) I'd suggest a sump pump

It will not pump with out the vent. I made my vent higher than the tub in case the pump malfuncions the tub would have to be full before it overlows

No. The tubing ends at the top, it wont be able to suck out the oil like a straw.

I am not quite sure what you are asking. The hose can reach to the bottom (you can elevate the tank if needed) and it will pull the water up. There are extensions to make the hose go farther. You may need to empty it many times depending on how large the tank is. I use it to empty a hot-tub.

yes, you will need to empty but its well worth it. we emptied, cleaned it and re-filled it. keep in mind you will most likely have to prime the pump again or you will end up with air pockets in the line. if that happens, you can actually stick a hose into where the filter is and force water through. that will get the air bubbles out of the line as well. for a 200 gallon tub (we have a small one), we added 5 1/2 cups of salt. don't over salt. we also set our timer to 5 and it is working perfectly. the larger the tub, the higher the number so a 400 gallon hot tub should take about 8 to 10 hours per day. yes, you will need to empty but its well worth it. we emptied, cleaned it and re-filled it. keep in mind you will most likely have to prime the pump again or you will end up with air pockets in the line. if that happens, you can actually stick a hose into where the filter is and force water through. that will get the air bubbles out of the line as well. for a 200 gallon tub (we have a small one), we added 5 1/2 cups of salt. don't over salt. we also set our timer to 5 and it is working perfectly. the larger the tub, the higher the number so a 400 gallon hot tub should take about 8 to 10... » Read More yes, you will need to empty but its well worth it. we emptied, cleaned it and re-filled it. keep in mind you will most likely have to prime the pump again or you will end up with air pockets in the line. if that happens, you can actually stick a hose into where the filter is and force water through. that will get the air bubbles out of the line as well. for a 200 gallon tub (we have a small one), we added 5 1/2 cups of salt. don't over salt. we also set our timer to 5 and it is working perfectly. the larger the tub, the higher the number so a 400 gallon hot tub should take about 8 to 10 hours per day. « Show Less

Not unless you suck up a lot of junk on one pass. I can go around all 7 seats in our spa and suck out the debris off them and then empty after I'm done.

Yes. The pan has holes in it that will drain the water. It runs down onto the propane tank but that's not a big deal. It eventually goes out the bottom of the unit.

I've had mixed instructions on that issue--yes and no. If used for hot tub, then no, just clean the filters; otherwise, daring and refilling is probably best. I was told to allow it to sit up for at least a week before refilling and allow the jets to run as much as reasonably possible. This stuff does work, although in my case the hot tub leak did stop but has started to leak even worse, not FIX A LEAK's fault. Bill Hilly

Hey Joey, The only way to condense water out of compressed air is to cool the air down. I ran mine along the wall then down to the concrete floor for 20 feet, then straight up to a water trap, right angle to mid way along the wall and never had water in my supply after the trap. Cool the copper as much as you can, Hot air will always contain water.

Yes. You pull the bar toward you and the cover over the hole slides. There is also a plunger at back left corner on top that releases water if you have it filled. Keep in mind the more water you fill with and flush the less "personal" water it will accept. It is rather short from seat to trap for solid waste. I don't use it for that.

If I understand your question, I think it would work. Water goes into the pump through a garden hose, water gets sucked into the stream via the built in Venturi tube, and the combined water leaves the pump through an attached hose. When draining a hot tub, I noticed the pump sucks more water per minute when the pump is deepest in the water (more water pressure acting on the Venturi tube).

If you are asking if it will suck the water out of the carpet the answer is yes. You just have to make sure the foam filter is in place of the dust filter so you dont ruin the dust filter. The attachments that come with the vac are all you need.

Negative... clean your whole tub then rinse it out when completed. This is assuming of course that you don't have a whole beachful of sand in your tub.

No. just drain a little from the tank so when you disconnect the hot water line you won't have some water spill out.

If you are talking about the drain in the bottom of the tub, then no it won't. This device has a large hole shown on the top side if you look at the photo of it in use. The device fits over the overflow on the side of the tub, so it effectively raises the level where the water would flow into the overflow drain. The hole at the top provides a safety drain so the water doesn't overflow the tub.

Yes. Just make sure the suction lines have no air leaks. It will actually pull up hill about 20 feet if the suction line is sealed. You also need to put a foot valve on the suction line so that when it shuts off the suction line keeps water in it.

it works off the return line from the filter. It uses the force of the water (coming from the filter and pump through the return line) to create a vortex that sucks debris into its filter bag. There is no way that it could possibly suck air into your pump so there is no reason to be concerned about that. I have used it for 2 full pool seasons and it works great.
