Have a RIDGID wet dry vacuum filter on hand whenever the job calls for it with this 2-count, pleated paper filter value pack -- buy more and save more. The filtration system captures fine dust and traps particles such as mold, fine powders and cool fireplace ash. The filter can be washed and, if dried properly, reused. Changing shop vac filters often is strongly recommended to increase the vac's performance and to help extend vacuum cleaner life as it protects the motor from harmful dust and debris. The fine dust wet dry vac filter fits RIDGID wet dry shop vacs 5 gal. and larger and should only be used for dry pickup. With its patented Qwik Lock feature, the filter simply snaps on or off the shop vacuum for easy cleaning and to quickly switch filter options. RIDGID provides other filtration offerings, including VF6000 HEPA Material Filter (sold separately), VF7000 Wet Filter (sold separately), and VF8000 HEPA Filter (sold separately), depending on the job application and type of cleanup mess. Also, a range of value pack sizes (4-count, 8-count and 16-count) are available to accommodate a variety of project needs.
