@minie, Min Enghauser , Empty the vacuum, this will happens sometimes on a lot models when over a 1/2 full, some times the water foams up and is picked up in the vacuum head and expelled out the exhaust port. May or may not to help to run with foam filter in place and empty bucket as soon as you notice water coming from exhaust to prevent damage. Good luck.
I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

@minie check inside the container for an elbow pointing downward from the inlet port for the hose. If it is not there water coming in will get picked up by the suction motor. Some misting is normal when sucking up the water, but you should not have lot of water. Also check the float ball cage to make the float is working.
1.When picking up small amounts of liquid the filter may be left in place.
2.When picking up large amounts of liquid we recommend that the filter be removed. If the filter is not removed, it will become saturated and misting may appear in the exhaust.
3.After using the vac to pick up liquids, the filter must be dried to avoid possible mildew and damage to the filter.

This is perfect! Thanks for posting this
I just got a Shopvac I removed the filter and the elbow is pointing down and it is blowing dirty water on my walls when I tried to clean up pet stains in my rug. It is totally disgusting and creating a bio Hazzard. What am I doing wrong this is disgusting?

turn the top of the vacuum around.so that the exhaust is pointing one way and the suction hose pointing the other way.

@minie just clarifying. Water comes out of the vacuum's exhaust (pressure) side while trying to suck the water up?
