@TdeV
excellent point .
no idea . I have a chamber vac .
when I had a weston sealer , I tried my best
to keep the bag low , and never vac'd w that system
anything ' watery '
eventually the pump failed , was replaced ( $$ )
then never worked properly as the Weston Group
replaces the two circular seals , that did not need replacing
and the machine w those new seals , never got a good seal ever again.
looking again at the Cabellas' vid :
some liquid sneaks by , but not much.
even if you keep almost all the water out of these area
humidity from wet vac's eventually might do your pump
( dry pump ) harm
