Ideal for dry pick up, the Shop-Vac cartridge filter fits a 5-gallon tank, and is specifically designed for the Hang Up wet/dry vacuum. Its high airflow keeps the debris inside the tank, while filtering the exhaust air. This black filter can be lightly washed, but must be air dried prior to re-installation on the ball-float cage.

Customer Rating: Summary: fell apart? Comment: 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. Will try foam sleeve next instead. Customer Rating: Summary: Use two Comment: 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. This provided a 100% increase in filtering and lets me extend the time between service cleaning the vacuum tank and filters. 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. Four filters will last me three years or more depending on use.
Customer Rating: Summary: vacuum filter Comment: No problems, works as well as the filter that came with the vacuum cleaner than purchased. Customer Rating: Summary: Does not include the screw on base lock. Comment: As the title says, filter only.. don't throw away that base piece quite yet. Little disappointed that the picture is not honest. Sears routinely runs a by one, get one 50% off and the price is the same.. 8 bucks and they include the base.
I still buy it from Amazon for the convience. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Shop Vac for the garage! Comment: This is the perfect shop vac for the garage as it conveniently mounts on the wall bracket included and features a very long hose to easily reach from the wall into your car for vacuuming. For jobs outside the garage, you can simply release the vacuum from the wall bracket and take it anywhere you need it. I have never replaced the filter, but have frequently knocked out alot of the accumulated dirt/dust.
