If you're looking to use your RIdgid Wet Dry Vacuum for liquid cleanup, you will need to get a special foam filter, the VF7000. If you own a wet dry vac less than 5 gallons, it used the filter VF3700. The wet dry vacuum featured in this video is the Ridgid Model HD1400, 6.0 peak HP and 14 gal.

You do not need a specific filter to pick up water only with a Ridgid vac. Even the manufacturers directions state you can leave in place the paper filter to suck up small amounts of water and to remove the paper filter for sucking up large amounts of water. The accessory filter your recommending is not needed until, as its name implies, you have Wet "DEBRIS", or water with debris in it. Nothing wrong with purchasing or using it with all wet pick up. Just not a requirement until situations with wet debris arises.

I definitely need a Unit that includes the Longer Hose.! I rather get it all in one instead piecing parts separately..

Could I use this filter when I’m not vacuuming up water or wet stuff? I do car detailing and it shouldn’t hurt to just leave it on right??

This filter won't catch any of the fine dirt/dust particles. I'd switch it out when not using it for water pickup.

Hi, and thanks for the review. My question is can these Wet Vac filters Be cleaned and reused.?

@MarkThomasBuilder 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, absolutely. I mostly just vacuum up water with it and not any other debris, so the filter doesn't need special cleaning.

@altillman1448 3 жыл бұрын

The wet filter directions actually state it is reusable and should be cleaned between uses. It also states its NOT to be used for anything BUT water pick up. Any other use outside of water pick up requires a different filter part number.

So I bought one of these wet/dry vacuum and used it to suck up water from my washer but used it with the filter it came with. Did I ruin my vacuum?

No, your vacuum will be fine. The paper filter may need to be replaced after getting wet like that.

@ScottWhiteSr 2 жыл бұрын

I’ve sucked up more than a hundred gallons over water in my basement with no filter. I probably based on Rigid’s recommendations would have replaced this wet filter to the cost of the value of my shop vac. I don’t see any reason to waste money on a filter for wet vacuuming.

@MarkThomasBuilder 2 жыл бұрын

If you have clean water that you're vacuuming up, you may be okay. I just play it safe and use the filter.

Do I absolutely need that filter? Or are there any dupes available? There are no VF7000 filters in my area and I need to get the flooded water up because of lung issues. I just went to HD and the guy gave me a blue fine dust filter and said he uses that but I don’t wanna break a device I just bought

@MarkThomasBuilder Жыл бұрын

I had an extensive conversation with a Ridgid product manager and they say to always use the VF7000 filter for water cleanup. Where I'm at, I can normally get next day shipping on Home Depot products. I don't think you can use any of their other filters for water.

@HaloHighlightz Жыл бұрын

@@MarkThomasBuilder thanks for the response! The soonest I can get it is Friday, so I went ahead and used the blue filter and was able to get 10 gallons of water out in less than 45 min. My city’s flooding has made national news, and we’re due to get more rain; want to get and keep as much water out as possible so I’m willing to sacrifice this vac if it breaks down, but I’d buy another; I already love this vac, it might replace my regular one but I’ll definitely only use the wet filter with liquid once I have it though

@MarkThomasBuilder Жыл бұрын

I don't think you'll do any damage to the vac by using the blue filter. The filter may get ruined over time, but that's not as big of a deal to replace. Sounds like you're in the St Louis area, which I saw on the news.

@HaloHighlightz Жыл бұрын

@@MarkThomasBuilder I am. We got more rain that night than we get in July and Aug combined while Cali and Texas are in a drought smh. I tried a few stores and got the last Ridgid from HD. Seemed like everyone was looking for either a wet vac or dehumidifier. Luckily, my loved ones are safe and property is minimally damaged, so I'm thankful. I'm glad to know the blue filter prob won't ruin the engine, it's really handy.
