Re: MF1050 into vacuum pump?
I think you'd be better off with a non-positive displacement pump, like a vacuum cleaner, not a positive displacement pump, like an air compressor. Possible? Sure. Practical? No way.

I agree with L33. Get one of those electric air mattress blowers that you can also use the intake side for deflation. All you is need high flow, low pressure to get the job done. :thumbup:

Re: MF1050 into vacuum pump?
oh i have an air mattress pump that also sucks (both air and at pumping and sucking air, if you know what i mean), but it doesnt really pull the kind of air i need to pull.
i went ahead and did the mods to my pump last night, finished too late to try em out though. based on the reed designs, im not so sure it will work as a great vac pump, but well see.

Looks like the harbor freight bags just use a shop vac. They also have a small electric vacuum pump that you might be able to adapt.

Ziplock has a hand vacuum pump that you might be able to use.

Re: MF1050 into vacuum pump?
going off this idea, we were playing in the mud and jeeper hydrolocked it. well the intake manifold filled with water, i had some tubing and turn my compressor into a make shift water pump/vacuum and got all the water out. it worked we got it running again. It worked just fine but probably was not the greatest idea. i took it apart and cleaned it real good.
So in theory using it to vacuum out air from a bag would work it would be slow and impractical however.
Re: MF1050 into vacuum pump?
Ok so something my mom had me do before they went on vacation:
drive on to ziplock bags with clothes, seal shut. perfect!
Re: MF1050 into vacuum pump?
I see no reason wh it won't work, the intake is threaded for the filter unit and it would be easy to attack an adaptor to suck out those bags....the reeds shouldn't be affected at all.
