Can you use this filter to vacuum the bottom
1011705
yes! i been using it like a vacuum for 10 yrs! 2 ways you can do it 1) take the inlet hose an hold it close to the bottom then use your other hand to stir up the gravel it will suck the detritus right up! or 2) mine came with quick disconnect ball valves tht can be used to control the flow. either way they both work. i dont use the micron filter i use the basket tht comes with it. stuff it with filter floss an the floss sleeve it comes with, then when your done put the micron filter in an in about an hour your water will be crystal clear!

YES! YES! YES!!! I have been doing that for many years and it is fantastic!

No, It is not designed for that. I always use a wide siphon tube on a hose to vacuum the bottom during water changes.

Yes you can but you have to have electrical skills. You can control the speed of the motor buy putting a reostate on the power cord. A cheap light dimmer can be used if you have electrical skills. Once it's installed you can control the motor speed which will control the succion.

I would have to say no, because this is a powerful filter, it would for sure suck the stones off the bottom of tank. I've never tried it in 18 or so years I've owned these 350 Marinelands...........maybe someone else out there has tried it.

I don't think you can. It is a Dyson attachment so you need to have a Dyson Vacuum

I'm not sure. The bottom has the same diameter as a standard paper filter, and it's slightly shorter. Not sure if that helps....

I don't know about using a HEPA filter but this vacuum has VERY LITTLE SUCTION... So if your were to add the restriction inherent in sucking through a HEPA filter there would probably be NO SUCTION at all... Do not buy this vacuum if you want to actually vacuum... But it has great accessories you can hang on the wall!!!

Sorry Zeez I'm not sure but I don't believe so. I would call the company as they probably make a vacuum or adapter that would. Good Luck!

You could, but I'd be very careful because there is NO air filter. That would not be a good addition to this blower/vac. It doesn't have a filter because the area that the filter would be in is also the area that grinds up the leaves in the vacuum mode. An air filter would also slow down the blower because there would be a restrictive filter in the way of the air input to the blower. It is a leaf Blower/vac after all. It works great for that purpose.

I can't find my users manual right now, which would answer this question definitively. However, other wet/dry vacuums I have and all I have had in the past, all recommend removing the filter in the wet use mode.

Sorry, we have not put this vacuum in service yet. Don't know what filter you will need.

Yes, you can use it in both cases. However, it is only acting as a pre-filter for your vacuum and probably wouldn't be any better than just the vacuum for anything other than the plaster dust.

No. U just spin the handle at the top of the filter a few times and it turns flappers inside the filter that clean it out. It's a great dust collector. Btw buy the jet remote switch for it also. It makes it so much more convenient.

I don't see why not. It fits between hoses, whether the vacuuming is manual or automatic makes no difference. To increase efficiency you can line the navigator with a nylon, which will collect even smaller particles. Hope this is helpful.

Nope. From the vacuum manual: "The filter CANNOT be washed as it will lose its dust trapping ability." It doesn't look like it would survive the washing.

Hi..I doubt this filter will help as it's for sediment ..aka tiny bits of dirt.

You can used it over and over. Remove the filter from the vacuum and clean any loose dust from the filter, wash the filter in warm water soapy water. Let it dry before you used again. Do not use a washer machine or you will destroy it.

The filter should be below the tank, as it works best as a gravitational suction system - but you could probably have it alongside the tank provided it is below the water level.

Yes, but only if it is in water. The unit is made for vacuuming under water, not a normal vacuum for the home.

Yes, but you won't need them right away. The filters are effective for quite a long while are not very expensive. By the way, this is a terrific vacuum cleaner. Powerful and very quiet.
