Tools and Hardware Reviews of Shop-Vac 9036000 Craftsman HEPA Cartridge Filter

Customer Review: Fantastic filter for my Craftsman wet-dry vac
Summary: 5 Stars

Mine is great. I emptied my vac the other day with this in it for the first time. At first I was careful, since I didn't want to tear the filter. Then I realized, after smacking it around a bit, how strong it is. After a while I just ran my garden hose on it with a pretty strong water stream. The filter was absolutely fine, and the water got all of the dust out of it very easily. I'd never do this as casually with the original paper filters. They tend to tear even more easily when they are wet. I let this filter dry, and then popped it back into the vac.

I can't talk to the amount or size of dust particles that this picks up rather than the original paper filters. I have to trust Gore and their ads for that. But it does make me feel better knowing that this one is at least 'supposed' to grab smaller particles.

Also, on a side note, to make this even easier to clean, someone suggested putting an old stocking over the filter. That way most of the dust won't pile on and stick to the filter itself. I'm trying this now. It is still working fine.
