@@HowYouCanMakeIt lol...ok..sorry chief..I just kinda go off the theory of deduction..it's a "common sense" theory..dirt goes in therefore it must also come out...in one form or another.. dumping collected debris out of the collection receptacle, dumping collected debris from a foam filter sleeve, dumping debris that was collected in a vacuum bag..then I deduce the collected debris must be disposed of. If no debris is available in one or more of the above mentioned then hmmm..maybe it's hung up in the suction hose..if not..then dump it from one or more of the above mentioned methods of collection..but yes..I agree..some folks are not this smart..or this video is just click bait...

I was hoping for something more in-depth - I figured it out easily (the crowd goes wild) I ended up opening the motor and blowing the dust out with a air dust removing tool on the air compressor. It was clogged with hair and dust when opened to check. Closed it back up, put on a fresh new filter and it’s just like new sound wise.

Good tip i learned on youtube is to buy pool filter "scum socks" and put over air filter. Just slip it off and empty shop vac canister. Much cheaper than buying new filter and much less messy than taking filter off each time to clean.

To get more suction you would need to have a higher rated CFM Cubic Feet Per Minute. Most shop vacs are around 185. A dust collector is around 500. You would need to shop for a higher HP shopvac which would give your more CFM.

Check your lid seal and your input port I taped a contractor trash bag around my vac but still had unrestricted air output. My lid was leaking and so was my input port. Silicone around the port, inside and out and a rubber seal for the lid fixed it. The seal makes pulling the lid off and putting on much harder. Im not sure where to go with this but hopefully I gave you some tips.

My shop vac was hardly working. I checked the filters - good. I pulled the hose off and the suction at the shop vac hose opening was good. Something was wrong with the hose. I discovered a large clog in the hose at the shop vac end. I couldn't unclog it because of the elbow joint end of the hose. I ended up cutting the hose off of the elbow joint of the hose, cleaning the clog out, then shoved the rest of the hose back onto the elbow joint of the hose. I thought that I would need a hose clamp to eliminate any air leaks at the new junction of the hose and elbow joint, but nope. I tried the shop vac now and it worked just fine as is.

it works! i’ve made one. It works very well but the only issue is setting it up so it doesn’t fall over. You can’t take it along for a walk wjth the vac unless you make some kind of wheel chair for it. One of those square wheeled boards that swivel in all directions is needed then build some type of housing around it to roll with the.vac. it’s touchy so why bump while in use will send the dust into your bin. Bonus if you can also add another spot to put the vac as well so it all goes together in one smooth ride.

Nothing worked Edit: nevermind it was user error. There was a small covering on the bottom that i didn't know was off. After I found the cover i put back on and it was a good seal

When the shop vac filter needs cleaning I use my canister house vac's crevice tool to clean the shop vac filter after you knock off the big pieces with a paint stick or whatever, then use the shop vac to clean the insides of the house canister vac. Every home needs the 2 type vacuums if they want to keep them both running for, in my case 3 decades. PS: your voice is fine.

Not terribly helpful. I already tried the obvious: cleared the hose of any clogs, replaced the filter and bag, and checked the little exhaust filter. My best guess is something is wrong with the suction breaker that cuts off suction when the body is full of liquid, but i haven't been able to find the issue.

If you’re saying that the only reason is because the filter is dirty or not on there right, then why can’t you run it without a filter? Would it suck then? Also, why is the filter so important? Thank you.
@HowYouCanMakeIt
8 ай бұрын
This is often the main reason. The filter has a few uses. one it protects the internal motor from wear and tear, second it removes dust and particles from the environment making it safer to breath. If a filter gets clogged it prevents the air flow from circulating and therefore the suction declines. You can run it without a filter however the lifespan of the vac would greatly be reduced.

Does it have an exhaust filter? The one at my kids' school that we use for set construction clean up (for plays) had a cap and foam bit that could cover the exit blower hole. Shop vac wasn't working very well, I took of the car, poke the foam filter and got a face full of saw dust for my efforts. I know they hadn't been running it with a paper middle filter. This was red and black and I think shop vac brand... I have a rigid and mine doesn't have the cap/filter at the exhaust so not all of them have this.
