Shop Vac pre-filter: Outerwears

[tom p.]

I've been looking for a pre-filter for a while for my Shop Vac.  As the washable Gore-tex filter ages, it seems like it's plugging up more frequently.  I've washed it a fair number of times  - - perhaps that's partially responsible for its diminished performance. 


 


I stumbled upon these pre-filters.  It seems their primary market is motorcycles, powersports, etc.  The vacuum cleaner pre-filters appear to be an expansion of the product line.  Simple idea, I hope it works.

It was $17 directly from their website.

Good find, and great idea.

I've just been using the filter bags for the past years, so much less dust and easy clean up.

Cheers,

Greg, that outer bootie is working so well I've completely forgotten about it. I guess that's a good thing.

I'll have to open it up and have a peek to see what's doin'...
