Ridgid Shop Vac Water Pump Hose Adapter

thingiverse

This adapter is used to replace the vacuum side of the Ridgid water pump with a hose. Connect the adapter to the pump and a hose to the adapter. The hose and pump should be primed with water, otherwise it can't pull the water from the source. I recommend a smaller 6 foot hose for the water source side rather than a very long hose for this reason. Once primed and pumping, the pump can pull a couple gallons per minute using this adapter. It won't be as powerful as when it's connected to the vacuum, but it will work to pump water from a source. To see it working, check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvHIXFNyCO8
