The Shop Vac name is synonymous with wet/dry vacs. If you are in the market for a wet/dry vac, this is where you should start. Mostly, Shop Vacs are used for heavy industrial or commercial janitorial work. They are built to last, but even heavy durable parts can break down.

It is important to buy the correct filter for your application. One of the most common complaints with any vacuum is that dust gets blown out of the vacuum while the vacuum is being used. This can happen for a couple of reasons. The most common is that the filter is broken down and needs to be replaced. The second is that the wrong filter is being used.

Shop Vac Accessories
If you replace a wet vac with a dry filter, it is not going to work properly. You must buy the exact filter for the correct application and model. If you replace the correct filter and there are still problems, there may be a problem with internal motor parts. These can also be replaced but may need professional service.

The same thing goes for attachments. Hoses that are as wide as a golf ball, baseball, or that are industrial strength will not fit every model of Shop Vac vacuum. Certain accessories will not work at all with certain models. Shop Vac offers accessories for every possible clean-up job, but you must be sure youre buying the accessories that were created just for your model.
