Wet/Dry Vacs are incredibly versatile tools that help keep your workspace clean, whether you're tackling household messes, cleaning out the garage, or handling heavy-duty tasks at a construction site. However, like all machinery, regular maintenance is key to ensuring optimal performance and extending the lifespan of your vacuum.
One of the most essential parts of maintaining your Wet/Dry Vac is properly caring for the filters. At Alton Industries, we offer Universal Foam and Cartridge Filters that make it easier than ever to keep your vacuum in top shape. These filters help improve suction, protect your vac from damage, and ensure it works efficiently for years to come. Here's everything you need to know about how to maintain your Wet/Dry Vac using our high-quality filters.
Why are Filters Important for Your Wet/Dry Vac?
Filters are the heart of your Wet/Dry Vac’s performance. They trap dirt, dust, and debris, preventing it from recirculating into the air and protecting the motor from damage. Without proper filtration, your vac can quickly lose suction power, and you might even risk internal damage to the motor. That's why it’s essential to choose a durable, reliable filter, like our Universal Foam and Cartridge Filters, to keep your Wet/Dry Vac functioning at its best.

How to Maintain Your Wet/Dry Vac with Alton Industries Filters
-
Regularly Clean the Filter
The best way to maintain your Wet/Dry Vac is to clean its filter regularly. Depending on how often you use your vacuum and the type of debris you're picking up, you should clean the filter about once a month or after every heavy-duty use.- For Foam Filters: Simply remove the foam filter, rinse it with water, and allow it to air dry completely before reinstalling. Avoid using soap or chemicals, as they may damage the foam.
- For Cartridge Filters: Tap the cartridge gently to shake off excess dust and debris. You can also rinse it with water, but be sure to let it dry thoroughly before putting it back into the vac.
-
Inspect the Filter for Damage
Over time, filters can degrade or become damaged, which can significantly impact the vacuum’s performance. Check your filter regularly for tears, holes, or significant wear. If you notice any damage, it's time to replace it with a new one.Our Universal Foam and Cartridge Filters are designed for long-lasting durability, but even the best filters need to be replaced occasionally.
-
Keep the Vac Dry
When using your Wet/Dry Vac in wet conditions, ensure the filter is dry before storage. Prolonged exposure to moisture can cause mold or mildew to grow on the filter, reducing its effectiveness. If your filter has been used for wet cleanup, make sure it’s thoroughly dry before storing it. -
