I 'm sure it won't rank with a hepa filter but who cares when using it for cars or water pick ups. I use the shopvac for my car and the filter pretty much keeps the vac's motor from dust and particles.
Will try foam sleeve next instead. With all the good reviews not sure what I've done wrong other than use it for wet pickup which it says it can be used for. After 2 months of little use my filter has literally disintegrated.hopefully haven't damaged motor.
I order the filter four at a time which gets me free shipping from Amazon, so this works out to be a pretty good deal. This provided a 100% increase in filtering and lets me extend the time between service cleaning the vacuum tank and filters. Four filters will last me three years or more depending on use. I'm using this filter in my wall hung shop vac.Because this vac is used to collect sawdust from my small band saw and belt sander, it clogs fairly quickly, but the system works well and is very compact. Over the past eight years or so that the vac has been used this way, I found that by using a piece of 1/4-20 allthread, a few nuts and washers I could fit two filters together into my shop vacuum.
No problems, works as well as the filter that came with the vacuum cleaner than purchased.
Sears routinely runs a by one, get one 50% off and the price is the same. As the title says, filter only. I still buy it from Amazon for the convience. 8 bucks and they include the base. don't throw away that base piece quite yet. Little disappointed that the picture is not honest.
