no it usually means that the vac is full and the ball then floats up and blocks the vac so that water doesn't get sprayed everywhere.

all you have to do is open it up and take the paper filter off and then it's a wet vac. If it has a foam over filter you leave that on

yes, the foam filter is what you should use, also make sure you remove any bag, or paper filter, the water would make it fall apart.

If you want to get water that's in your vacuum, OUT of your vacuum, you simply need to remove the top and dump the water out. As far as I know, the Shop-Vac 962-16-00 won't "pump out" any water that's in it.

If you want to pump water from one place to another (for example, your basement to your backyard), this vacuum doesn't pump water "through" itself (like a sump pump) - it will, however, **** water up. You just need to dump it out once the vacuum is full.

When you use the shop vac for cleaning up water you must remove the filter.

The filter is for dust particles not for water
I would replace your filter and dump the water out from the shop vac, Also after each time you vacuum up water dump it out of shop vac.

I hope this helped you happy new year!

can I run my sears shop vac without the paper bag, for dry pickup?

where can i fine moter brushes for my ridgid 5.25 hp 16 gal. wet dry vac.

You **** up water the same way as dirt. It's designed this way, hence the name wet/dry. Just be sure not to get the water in the very top of the unit where the motor sucks the air for cooling ventilation, if water gets in there it can burn up the motor. A little hard way, personal experience, speaking there.
