Can this vacuum up water?

Yes it can, and if you do you need to take out the bag filter and install an extra piece that comes with the vacuum so that water does not go into the HEPA filter.

No it doesn't. The vacuum doesn't even move. We had to take it apart and swim to the bottom of the pool and manually do it with the hose. The vacuum does not work.

Afraid not. It handles like a much lighter vacuum than it really is, but am afraid that it does not move on its own.

It can pick up just about anything, Has alot of power for such a lite weight vacuum. So the answer to your quest YES it can.

Probably, a small vacuum but not a larger one. Also. I would not recommend this, it is very flimsy and the back is cardboard. I'm not sure it would support a vacuum.

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.

As long as the container you're putting the water into is lower than where you're drawing it from it should work. The only other thing I can think of is there is a hole of some sort in the hose so no suction.

I have not tried it with water. Can only speculate that water being heavier than mdf or wood dust it may fall in the bucket instead of the vac.

I don't believe so, they have a specially designed valve thing for the vacuuming. U just press on the lid and it goes out the mechanism. I don't think this would work with an other devices. The valve thing has a 'skin' over it to lock air from coming back in, I don't see how you could bypass that.

I would say yes but I would also think it would take a good amount of time using this type of vacuum to clean a fish tank of that capacity.

I think your question is a silly one! If you have a pool any vacuum will work! This will brush and suck up just like any vacuum. Maybe I don't understand the question!

I don't know. I also have a salt water pool, but the unit is time consuming for a large pool. It was easier for me just to use my vacuum.

I think the height from the brush to the top of the bag is greater than 17 inches so you might be better going with a smaller, battery operated water vacuum. This Pentair unit requires a fast H2O flow to vacuum. I use it in a small jacuzzi and in order to vacuum the bottom it raises the water level by several inches. I also don't think it does that good a job at picking up small particles. I hope this helps.

If you mean "Can this pump lift water 50 ft?" then the answer is No. The theoretical maximum is 33 ft, and that would require a vacuum pump. The pump inlet needs to be no more than 3 ft above the water level or the pump will suck nothing. If the pump inlet is close to the water, this pump will pump the water up 120 ft.

Yes, but only if it is in water. The unit is made for vacuuming under water, not a normal vacuum for the home.

I bought the pond vac to remove dead "sludge" from the bottom of my water garden ponds. It will certainly pick up sand. I must admit though,that the vacuum power requires constant "tickling" to maintain the vacuum power (the placement of the vacuum has to be ideally below the pond level being vacuumed.

No it doesn't connect to a vacuum system. It attaches to a hose, but you need the leaf bag and pole. The water pressure from the hose acts as a vacuum.
