How To Maintain & Clean Wet Dry Vacuum Filters
The problem is like most vacs your wet/dry vac contains a filter, and as it becomes dirty air flow is reduced and performance effected. Further, if the filter becomes damaged debris may enter the fan impeller and cause damage. We know a clogged filter can block airflow. And if the airflow is blocked suction is reduced. And if blocked for extended periods of time it can put an additional stress on your vac’s motor. Generally, the harder any motor works the shorter it’s life is likely to be, and even if it continues to work you may have reduced performance. To maintain and clean wet dry vacuum filters may not be the first thing that comes to mind in using a shop vacuum, but it is important.
One does not need to be a rocket scientist to maintain their wet/dry vac filter, but many may still hold reservations because they lack experience. However, it is a simple process, that WORKSHOP is happy to walk through.
