I have that orange one. I got the biggest one, they were on sale at the time so I got a good deal on it!! Pretty solid vacs, I've vacuumed water messes with it no problem including sand. Filters are easily replaceable if u happen to ruin it but I've hossed mine off before n still works fine. Just looked it up, the brand is RIDGID

I have ridgid too. Awesome vacuum just remember to remove filter when sucking up water. Which is easy because they now have press on filters. No more wierd dirty plastic nut to unscrew and re-screw every time. Hah. That sounded funny

If it's just for sump duties I recommend the cheapo $20+ wet dry vac that they sell at HD. It clamps on to your 5 gallon bucket. Won't take any more space, hose is small enough to get around equipment and strong enough to get the job done

So can just use the motor to take out water?

yeah, just keep an eye on the bucket because they fill up quick and next thing you know, you have a 1 gallon mess on the floor.
