Reclaim question

I have an opportunity to buy a surface cleaner with vac for a good price! My question is when I get the surface cleaner can I hook it up directly to a trash pump and into a tank?


First time I ever read a question like this. Trash pumps are great for moving hi volume of water but can they work like a vacuum where they are only sucking up a few gallons of water at a time without burning out the trash pump? It doesn’t seem like it would be a good idea but I never tried to use a water pump to run the vacuum part of the surface machine so I can’t say for sure.
