Does this use the normal Shop Vac cartridge filter, or not? I don't see one listed. If it doesn't, what does it use outside of the paper filter?

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.

I use my Shop Vac for dry only, too. My vac is 1.5 gallons and I buy the 1.5 gal bags. The vac came with a filter and foam sleeve but I have never used it (hope I never have to). I would buy 1 gallon bags for your vac to be sure.

I have always used the dry filter over the foam filter, both can be emptied and washed along with the vac tub when the tub gets really full of pet hairs and dust. This keeps the air around the shop vac from spewing out fine dust everywhere when vacuuming the vehicle.

Christina, what is the point of using a vacuum cleaner without a filter? Not trying to criticize here, but methinks you are looking for a bagless vacuum. This little guy is bagless but not filter-less. If you use this vacuum without a filter, all you will be doing is re-distributing the dirt in your house (or wherever) you use this vacuum. This vacuum uses a cleanable, and replaceable, paper filter. Happy Cleaning!

just pour it in, it will run through the filter anyway - keep in mind it will cause a lot of scum to collect/ coagulate on the surface. I use my shop vac to suck this stuff out off the surface - it takes awhile to get it all though. and it is a PIA - but it works

It has a coarse plastic mesh filter. The dry filter bag has to be removed before using the vac for wet vacuuming.

I buy type U filters for an old Hoover canister that calls for that type, but I think you would need to see what type of filter your Shop Vac requires before buying any.

If by bag you mean the disposable one that looks like a regular vac bag--yes. I only use the foam filter. I still love it, but like all I do wish the hose was stronger, it's not awful, just not as hardy you would think a shop vac would use.

Actually, I don't think it would work with a shop vac. I use it on a Kenmore vacuum with what I think is a pretty standard hose attachment.

It doesn't use one...you just take the dry filter off and whatever it is that is wet that you are sucking up just goes into the shop vac. Then you dump it out wherever appropriate.

Hello,I am also wondering if this item comes w/ the superclean cartridge. It makes no sense to buy it from here if it doesn't since it comes to the same price if you had to add one seperatly from the manufacturer. Can someone please confirm if it comes w/ the superclean cartridge or not.Thanks,George

It has a reducer on it that looks like it will adapt to almost any shop vac.... but I can't guarantee that it will fit every shop vac... sorry.

I do not believe that it will fit your shop vac... This is designed for an ash vac..

Yes, but I would take the filter out of the shop vac. It probably would not be needed if water is all you are picking up. The shop vac would need to be cleaned out before you picked up water so as not to make a gummy mess. I'm not sure why you would need the Dust Deputy cyclone if water was what you needed to pick up. The cyclone is meant to pick up heavier particles, like sawdust.

Yes, it does. It uses the crinkly, flat bottomed sort (not the pointed ones). It also comes with a metal filter that works quite well! It's nice to have the metal one in case you run out of the paper kind.

It has a washable mesh filter that works fine for us; we don't use paper filters. I know some people like to use an additional paper filter for flavor. If that's the case, it's the small Melitta cone type (no. 5?); the kind that comes flat but opens into a cone.
