When the sand is poured, i.e. from one sand bucket into another, does dust fly up into the air that could be inhaled?

A small amount of dust does occur. I suggest finding a recipe where you add mineral oil and create a dustless sand. It also clumps together.

I'm afraid it would just push it around. There is no suction. You can use a swifter pad or a microfiber cloth. I don't think with one would grab sand very well.

If you will put the thicker sock like filter inside the mesh filter the sand will not penetrate . I do that and it will pick up the smallest of debris , this is my second year using the blaster, I really like it for small pools . Hope this helps . Happy blasting

No, you simply blow air into it....as much or little as you like. It is great! You will love it!

I dont believe the dust deputy works like a shop vac in that way it seems to use the funnel with gravity to "drop" the larger particles into you container; In my opinion the water would impede that process. Please keep in mind I am a cosumer like you and the best answere might be better directed to the manufacturer howeve, I would stay away from water with the Deputy until you get an answere from them..Godd Luck!

Yes. The bucket and hose set-up is just a water trap for the drywall dust. It keeps the dust from ruining your shopvac or other vacuum source. The dust gets pulld into the water and settles there leaving relatively little dust in the airstream entering the vac.Do be careful, howver, not to kick over the bucket while sanding as it could sent a shot of water up into your vac. Not too big an issue if using a wet/dry vac but more cataqstrophic if not using a water-proof vac.

I have not seen any soot, however there is a lot of dust around that is not getting absorbed.

Yes exactly you just fill up the bags with sand and it prevents wind from getting under the tent and blowing it away. I highly recommend this product.

I can't say for sure since I've never tried that, but I think it will blow some of the ash out of the bag (and possibly into your face). I know when I suck up leaves in the dirt, it blows the fine dirt out through the mesh bag. I love this blower/vacuum, but it might not be what you're wanting. Maybe try a wet/dry vac? Home Depot has a cool little one that goes over their 5 gal orange "Homer" buckets, it's called the Bucket Head... it's really neat and would work for bbq ash, I'm sure.

The balance pods have a small hole for air like the hole on a basketball. Water and sand would not go into the pods without damage.

Whatever sand does get into the bag will fall out through the mesh. I find it easier to shake the sand out of the mesh bag than to empty your cloth bag and then shake it out. The only downside of this bag is that it is heavier than I thought it would be and the material is a little rough on your shoulder and arm if you're not wearing a cover up.

I wouldn't know. I think it should. This thing is freaking amazing. Fine dust particles fall to the extra bucket and being that water is heavier than fine dust, In theory, it should. I mainly use it for saw dust. I never thought of doing it but now you got me wondering. I guess I should try it.

With any filter or filter material some air is blocked as dust and the sort builds up, but for the most part air flows through the clean material freely.

yes it does but you have to move slowly over the sand so you don't mix it up before the sand reaches the suction part..

Having one of these units for about a year now, I'd say probably not. The reason: this unit has comparatively low air flow rate which means it simply can't pick up particles which normally are not "air suspended" like fine dust, smoke, etc. Dander, to my knowledge "resides" mostly in fabrics like carpets, cloth upholstery, etc. Unless the mfg. specifically mentions a given filtration ability, it's normal to assume "does not apply" when looking at such needs.

it uses muscle. you fill the bucket with water to the line. hook the large round end to your shop vac and the small end to the manual sander head. turn on the shop vac and start sanding. when I use mine I get a little dust that falls to the ground but the fine dust gets sucked into the bucket rather than the air.

We got a bag of sand at Home Depot - not sure exactly how much we used but had over half a bag left. We did use a funnel and took two of us. Guess it could be done alone but easier with another pair of hands.
