Yes. But is it multi purpose as bought? Just frugal. I like multi tools. Limited space and resources.

Ya, even for cleaning out the car or whatever. Nice and portable. Unlike my big ass one.

easy to carry the 5gal back up from the basement instead of whole unit , omfg the struggle. I have no basement drain so dragging the whole unit up and down blows

Ya it does. But I have my son do it once a week. The bucket would be way easier, well at least for him, lol.

I'm 200lbs in shape, and I dread moving wet 10gallon pots. Most plants I've grown in 10gallon pots end up hitting the ceiling of whatever room I'm in if I lift them, and I'm average height... This task would make watering so unpleasant I'd surely avoid the task as much as possible.

My current grow is in 10gallon fabric pots -- can tell you just moving the plants in my tent/bedroom to inspect trichomes and whatnot has become a chore

I personally have no issue moving them around. But I hear ya.

We're not all ripped, lol.

Well we actually all are though. I should reword that. We're not all buff, lol.

I like the bucket heads, but I found a full shop vac unit with attachments cost $10 more. Extenders are nice for reaching the back of the tent imo and worth the $10.

Oh it also came with a flat nozzle for the odd spill I might get onto my grow room floor

33 PSI is all it takes. Scratch your heads. Keep fit.

Best investment I ever made was the bucket company run off pump. It shoots my run off to the opposite side of my basement right into my floor drain.

The water goes from my buckets to the run off pump, the pump has a float when it gets to 2” of water it triggers the pump and shoots it to the opposite side of my basement. Can be used with flood tables as well.

was seriously sick of emptying buckets and suck with a vacuum for years. I haven’t even looked or seen my run off now for 3 months and I don’t miss it one bit.

I bought a furnace condensation pump. My runoff from my hempy buckets fill it. It has its own float valve. Pumps into a 5 gal pale. I dump the pale in our green house
