What happens here

The next crucial step is to remove all water from both the toilet tank and bowl. While a sponge and bucket method is traditional, the video highlights a more efficient approach using a wet/dry shop vacuum, specifically a Milwaukee Packout shop vac. If using a shop vac for wet material, remember to remove the filter to prevent damage and maintain suction. Carefully vacuum all water from the tank, then remove any remaining water from the bowl.

Goal: Remove all water from the toilet before disassembly

Tools and materials

What they say

Hide

Oh yeah. Couple ways you get this water out of here. One way, grab a sponge and sponge this into a bucket. This is a new pack-out shop vac from Milwaukee. And I'm really excited to own this. I've been sponging toilets for so long and I've seen people doing this on the internet. I was really excited to give this a try. Anytime you're doing wet work, take your filter out. A lot faster than my sponge method. With this toilet install, you're going to be down on the floor a lot. Get something like this ergo kneel or some knee pads. This right here is what I like to call a knee saver.
