I use a shop vac from Sears and it works fine. I have to clean the filter every so often but it still works. So if my cheap vac works I am sure that Festool should work great.

No. This does not come with the vac. You can hook up to a vacuum cleaner that should be powerful.

Yes. Remove the dust bag and push on the shop vac hose. You,ll see the connection for the hose when you remove the dust bag. The dust bag is not very good but bettr than nothing.

probably, but not advisable. Better to use a pump or you can use a shop vac with the setting on 'blow'.

Yes, you can use a regular vacuum as long as you have the attachments to the sweeper. These are great bags!

I would not ad it could damage the unit, but if you do remove the filter bag and filter. Why chance it when you can get a cheap wet vac

Personally, I won't use anything but a shop vac simply because of the amount of dust that will clog up most expensive filters. The shop vac filters are easily washed and can be reused several times, are inexpensive, and I've never had any damage done to my shop vac motor that I'm sure I'd have encountered had I used my other vacs. The shop vac I have I purchased at Menards for under $40 and I've worked the poor thing to what would have been death for a 'normal' vac. As long as you take care of it, and make sure to keep the filters cleaned when they need it, I suppose you could use any type you wanted, but...as I stated...shop vacs, in my opinion, are much better suited for the 'tough' jobs.

You do need to use your current pole / handle that the brush or manual vacumn uses. If you don't have one for those you will need to buy one.

My central vac is an older model:Central Vac International:CV-16: It works very well with mine.

I can't say for sure but I would make sure you empty the canister and clean the filter.This vac works best on bare floors,That's how I use mine.

I use a Festool CT 36. Works well. Broke the bank. Look for HEPA filtration.

Yes, you must hold the trigger in order to keep the vac running. I have only Makita power tools in my garage, they make excellent products. This is the only tool from them that I was not happy with, as compared to their other 18v products it is simply under powered.

Yes and no. Over time, you will need to clean the filter that comes with the vac. That being said, I have found that having these relatively inexpensive washable and reusable filters is a lifesaver as I do not have to wait for the one filter to dry to be able to use my vac. I would say BUY these filters. Definitely worth the same expensive!

You've have to be pretty stout but I don't see a reason why not. The vac decreases the suction of a vacuum down to a pretty manageable amount though so you could have some problems dealing with that.

NO. You should use a Dust Extractor vacuum designed to handle fine dust to use this product.Your regular household vacuum will burn out it's motor with continued use.Al

Yes, to your first question. Outside the 'normal Shop Vac cartridge filter is a foam filter which just slips on. It is cleanable; thus reusable. This is a great vac and the only one we use.
