What wet-dry vac/ato do you like?

Given my recent flood, I'd like to be a good wet/dry vac in case of future (but hopefully smaller) floods, AND

an ato unit. This would be for my ro/di system, in which I the unit makes water into a 32 gallon rubbermaid trashcan. So I just need something that'll work for the ro/di output into a tall trash can.

Thanks!

pretty much any wet/dry works I have: a 8gal craftsman, 15 gal. unk/cant remember, and like a 5 gal cheap one
One thing to look for is a drain in the bottom, its like a screw off cap on the side of the container really close to the bottom
I love these! There is a little attachment where you can hook it up to your garden hose and have it run ouside (great for alot of water) lol.

We have a Shop-Vac wet/dry at the store that works well, it has an attachment for a garden hose to pump the water out and into a toilet or sink. We have the 14g. Color matches the store too.

I like the JBJ ATO's, they work well and have some nice features for a less expensive unit. One thing to keep in mind is that an ATO would have made your situation worse, by refilling the tank and dropping the salinity as well as increasing the size of the flood. The Oceanus units look really nice for a high end unit and have some protection features that could prove useful.
