So I bought a 6 gallon wet/dry vac and the thing is really good at sucking up detritus, but the problem is that it does it too fast and I overflowed it and water ended up on my floor. It's 6 gallons, I know, small. But I thought it had a float valve that would cut off the vac from overflowing. But obviously not. So now I'm waiting for a 20 foot hose extension to run the vac outside in case it overflows.
Does anyone know if you can burn out the motor when the exhaust on the back blows out water? There is no drain on this model, so it fills up fast. I kinda don't want to buy the full featured model because it's huge, I have no room for it, and I will rarely use it.
