Transfer pump to clean sump

[skhaw]

Hi. I am wondering if there is any electric transfer pump to clean dirt and sediments in my sump? Regular water change pump won’t work. I need a pump with piped inlet which I can use to suck the dirt from the bottom of the sump. I am imagining a pump with two pipes - one for inlet and one for outlet. Is there anything like that in the market that I can use? Local store told me I can buy a pump that I can screw on standard 5 gallon pump that I can use to suck the water out from sump. I cannot really find that online. Anyone know what they talking about ?

Home Depot has a $25 wet vac that snaps on top of the Homer Bucket.

Another approach would be a Vivid Creative Aquatics (VCA) vacuum attachment.

I use one of these to clean my sump out and I love it jus gotta have a bucket close by to catch the water coming out but not a big deal for me.

and it is battery operated so you don’t gotta figure out what you gotta unplug to plug in something else Like a shop vac. Jus my 2cents
