Water is essential for everyday living but sometimes too much of it in the wrong places can be a problem around the home. Unexpected events around the home can happen such as flooding from bad plumbing, rains, overflow, etc and in many cases a wet dry vac is good enough, but other times a water flooding problem can be too much for ordinary wet dry vac’s and you’ll be needing a pump.
A company called Wayne has a new pump called the WaterBUG that can take care of wet problems caused by flooding and standing water around the home. The WaterBUG is submersible meaning you place it in the water you want removed, even if it means the entire unit may be completely underwater.
The WaterBUG will drain unwanted water and can remove almost all the water in flat surfaces, it removes water down to 1/16 inch on flat surfaces, leaving it virtually dry and you can mop up the rest or use a fan/blower to take care of the rest.
You can hook up a regular garden hose up to it for water removal and you can attach the hose to either the top of the unit or the side, whichever is more convenient for the application and has a max flow rate of 1257 gallons per hour.
It’s also designed with built in easy to clean filters at the bottom of the unit so you can place it in standing water such as a back yard and don’t have to worry about murky muddy water damaging the unit.
This unit seems to have been released very recently this year 2016 and looks to be a hit on Amazon. It has earned a “1# Release” badge on Amazon and has 40 reviews all giving it 5 stars. It’s pricing at the time of writing is $99
