I was using vacuum to s.u.c.k up water after pressure washing my pool deck.

Your make and model number appears isn't stated and the category designation is incomplete. Find the model and look for a thermal protection fuse. https://www.searspartsdirect.com/combo/0247-1235880/craftsman-wet-dry-vacuum-parts ..

I replaced my vacuum belt and now when I turn my vacuum on it makes a loud noise to begin with and at the end also the belt is getting hot is that normal?

Can be either
1hair, debris around the brush roller
2 brush roll bearings have hair Etc, right on them

3 brush roll bearings worn badly .
Do they turn freely, take out and turn while putting light pressure with fingers, light twisting

4 belt issue,
Did the belt before this one break or wear maybe too soon which points back to Roller/ bearings/ hair

Brush roller not rotating

Full 'make model (what it is)' is needed in all questions on Fixya please. The drive belt is broken whether it is a standalone upright cleaner or whether it is a canister vacuum with a hose and wand with brush head. How you replace it is completely dependent on make and model, but can easily be Googled or refer to the manual.

Nilfisk Elite Comfort vacuum cleaner. How to change rear wheels on it please? I have original replacement parts but fail to remove old wheels.

It appears for have hidden spindles holding the wheels so would involve full disassembly. No one has documented this before https://www.nilfisk.com/global/consumer/products/vacuum-cleaners/traditional/elite-energy-comfort-eu/c_107413385/ By the looks of it, you start with the 2 screws in the bag access bay and then keep going. This is a job that should be done by a service centre. https://www.google.com/search?q=Nilfisk+Elite+Comfort+disassembly The Parts Diagram shows all the relative parts and the wheels are held internally by one screw. Blow the PDF image up to 250%. https://www.wap-nilfisk-alto-shop.de/media/pdf/83/5d/da/ET_Elite.pdf ..

My lux legacy is not registering that I have replaced the bag

There is a trigger/sensor that activates when a new bag is replaced. Check to see that it is not stuck or dirty and moves freely when touched.

The bottom of the clear canister opens before I am ready...have to re-vacuum. Lock not working correctly. Seems secure when attaching & vacuuming...just falls open before I can remove it.

Check for dirt in tracks of closure mechanism, clean as nessary. Also, check worn mis-aligned, adjusted clasp.

Can not open IntelliSeat filter. The nozzle is not spray because there is no water. The manual shows to check the filter. But can not open it. The white plastic is so tight and soft. Any suggestion?

Hold the unit aloft, then tap lightly with a rubber or wood mallet all the way around the filter housing, try turning it then repeat process, it should come off eventually.

Rainbow SRX motor spinning slow

Sounds like an unwanted ingress of water into the motor assembly. Not a lot can be done without stripping the machine down and taking a look at any damage.
