Me again. I had an issue with water getting into my post holes and filling up. I was recommended using a submersible pump, which worked fine to remove the water, however something i didn't account for was the approximately 600mm of very sloppy mud that found its way into the holes.
The holes are 450x1500 deep, and using a post hole shovel is next to useless as the mud has the consistency of melted ice cream. A friend of mine has a 60 litre vacuum separator tank that he said i could borrow, i just need to supply my own vacuum. Unfortunately our dyson will not be allowed to assist me in this job, so i need to buy a shop vac that will have the suction power to suck the mud into the separator.
What would be a good shop vac for the job?
Thanks in advance

Clay is a pain, I dont know of any vacs that will suck up that density (havnt tried I admit but have looked at the specs of them as wanted one for work.
Hard yakka is about all I can suggest 😕 maybe do the amount of holes you can concrete in a day and leave the others until you have time?
