@Sam Parker i noticed that you endorse wet vac use in cleaning detritus in sump.
What particular brand did/do you use? Would you recommend it?

yep - I have two. One that has a "stainless drum" I say that with inverted commas as I think it is a fairly cheap and nasty stainless! Not that I really care, it doesn't end up holding salt water for long. It cost about $30 from memory?
I have another one which was a sale item from bunnings some time ago and I havent used it yet. It literally is just the motor and host part, you clip it onto a 5 gallon drum (also fits the salt buckets we all have laying around the house)

@Lesley didn't know you use wet vac :D
the one that you have is this one right? Did it fill up quite quick before you have the chance to suck all the detritus?
Thanks @Sam Parker !!!
I'm quite interested with the one that you haven't use... I think I know what you are referring to .. it's pretty much like a vacbucket ... do you know what brand? I'll try to look for it in Bunnings website.
My candidate is either the shop vac like what Lesley got and the vacBucket like what you (Sam P) got.
Thanks folks!

I use pump to pump 90% water out first, then last 10% left is detritus and don't have to empty as often
I Empty & wet dry vac sump every 3 months.

Sorry, was not me discussing wet vacs.
I use a cloth to clean my sump .
My Vac sadly does not do water.
I do similar to Lesley in terms of just sucking out the bottom bit, I also steam clean around where the water line was in the sump to get rid of all of the build up and steam clean my display glass (gets it very very clean!)
The unit I use it a bit pricey (appears as thought its on special at the moment) but it gets used for a lot of other things around the house

Thanks @Sam Parker for pointing out that they (Bunnings) stock the item ... otherwise I wouldn't have any clue.
