Tips and Tricks Eric Rank, Superintendent at Chikaming Country Club Have fairway bird baths? Try the Hillbilly Water Vac. This is of our homemade contraption that we call the “Suck-O-Vac”. We started using this machine 6 years ago before our recent drainage improvements. Although the responsibilities of the machine have lessened dramatically over the years, we still have a number of small areas on the course that hold water. The Suck-O-Vac is an old 200 gallon sprayer tank mounted to a trailer. We then added a wet/dry vacuum to the top. The vacuum sits in the opening for the tank almost perfect and after a little silicone the machine was airtight. The vacuum is plugged into a generator in the back of our cart. After the tank is full a 2” ball valve is opened to drain the tank into an existing drain inlet.
