[Shop-talk] shop vac for ashes?

[old dirtbeard]

Hi David,

I use a Rigid shop vac to clean out the fireplace, and also have a Pond Vac 
to clean out the koi pond.

The pond vac has a very long intake hose that I connect to the shop vac so 
that I can set the shop vac outdoors while I vacuum out the fireplace. Works 
very well as any dust that escapes from the vac is outdoors.

I would suggest getting another inlet hose, connect them inline and setting 
the vac outdoors.

best,

doug
