New to me use for my vacuum cleaner!

All right guys I know this is going to sound crazy. But with common sense as to using your vacuum cleaner for this. First and foremost, when using your vacuum cleaner blower end on a tank type vacuum cleaner works best, you want to place your vacuum on a dry surface away from the bathtub water and run a long hose from the vacuum into the tub. Before climbing into the tub turn on your vacuum cleaner and you have a fantastic Jacuzzi spa! Nothing like a little Epsom salts with a warm tub of water to relax your tired body at the end of the day! An old Electrolux works best as you want a vacuum cleaner with a blower. Upon exiting the tub wipe off any water off the floor then turn off the vacuum. Always remember safety first!

Cool idea

When I bought my refurbished Kirby from an Independent Distributor, he said I could use the Kirby scalp massage cup (a standard accessory) to unclog a clogged sink. First, you need to heat the bristles on the message cup and bend them out. Then, put this to the clogged drain, turn on the Kirby unit, and bam!

You have a giant water mess to clean everywhere, and a clogged sink. LOL

I tried the Kirby idea of unclogging drains and just ended up with a big mess. Same result as CharlesKirby66.Used the plunger instead-worked better.A plumbers snake is even better still.Note:--had to use a Rainbow to clean up that mess!WD vacuum was in the garage.
I don't think I want to use a vacuum as a tub massager.I have a machine that can be used for that-has a GFI in its plug.You could connect the cleaner to a GFI outlet.

Vacuum hose in bathtub.....

There is NO WAY I would do this. Please rethink this for your own safety.

I'm thinking of the perfect vacuum hose for my Jacuzzi!

And it starts with 'LEWYT'!

To which I reply:
Just don't use an electrified hose!

Think I'll think I'll take a pass on this whole concept.

Hate to burst your bubble my grand parents had that Idea with their Kirby back in about 1980. They attached a rubber washing machine drain hose to the end of the vacuum hose And the vacuum hose to the exhaust. It worked but my dad just about had a heart attack. I was there one time when they used the Kirby for a Jacuzzi. I was never so happy to put the vacuum away in my life. I was afraid they would get electrocuted. My dad made them get a whirl pool that you attach to the side of the tub made for the purpose intended.
