Show All ItemsDrywall dust will either frequently clog filters, or rip your filter. Drywall dust will also wreck your vacuum motor.Typically vacuuming drywall with a shop vacuum will also end up being redistributed through the air from your vacuum. This is a cheap gadget to filter drywall dust without needing a cyclone, or hepa filter, or an external water filter bucket. You will need:A wet/dry shop vacuum cleaner to connect this gadget to. Two 1 1/2" ABS elbow pipes (measure to fit ) A small length of 1 1/2" ABS pipe to fit your vacuum (measure to fit). Water A few drops of soap. Step 1: Measure available width of vacuum host inlet.Show All ItemsFor shop vacuums, this seems to be about 1 1/2" available if your hose is about 2".The fit does not need to be exact, and ABS pipe comes in many sizes, just find the closest fit.Since shop vacuums tend to be angled (so that debris doesn't go flying into the filter), you need to measure what's available to you, not the total inner diameter. In my vacuum I've got about 1 1/2" available.

Use this measurement to buy the appropriate ABS elbows and appropriate ABS pipe.For my shop vacuum my buy list was:Two 1 1/2" elbows (about $1 each ).Hot Tub Reviews Coast SpasSmall length of 1 1/2" pipe (about $1.50/foot ).« Car Seat Covers MaltaHow a Water Filtration Vacuum WorksStone Laminate Flooring Reviews Vacuum cleaners have existed for more than 100 years. The basic mechanism uses Bernoulli's principle and a powerful motorized fan to lift dust and dirt off the ground. Bernoulli's principle says that the faster air moves over a surface, the lower its pressure is. In vacuum cleaners, a fan in a narrow casing rotates rapidly to catch and force air into the vacuum bag. The pull created by the fan draws the air over the surrounding ground, decreasing its pressure.

Meanwhile, the greater atmospheric pressure "pushes" the dust and dirt up into this low-pressure zone. Therefore, what we perceive as the "force" of a vacuum cleaner's suction is really just force of the atmosphere pushing against the low-pressure interior created by the motorized fan. Water And Air Pressure In chemistry, the boiling point of a liquid relies heavily on the surrounding air pressure. For example, at sea level (i.e. zero feet of elevation above the earth's surface) water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. But a mile above sea level, water boils at 98 degrees Celsius because atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude. In a water filtration vacuum, the hose attaches to the main body of the vacuum, which consists of a fan motor suspended over a shallow basin of water (Figure 1). The motor moves air at a high speed, decreasing its pressure and, by extension, the pressure inside the main body. Like a typical vacuum, the higher-pressure atmosphere "pushes" air into the low-pressure machine.

However, in a water filtration vacuum, the low-pressure conditions inside the machine cause the water to aggressively vaporize or "boil". How Water "Filters" The Air This aggressive, albeit low temperature, vaporizing creates an extremely humid environment inside the vacuum. When the dirt, dust, pollen and other tiny impurities in the air are suctioned into the main chamber, the droplets of water either bond to or outright dissolve them. Meanwhile, the motor is surrounded by a special hydrophobic filter that repels water. The filter allows gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, argon and carbon dioxide to pass through while the water-bonded dust and dirt particles get trapped and drip back down into the basin. To clean, simply open the body and pour out the dirty water. The filter never needs to be changed!

Vacuums That Use Water Filtration System for Vacuum Cleaners How to Create a Vacuum with Running Water How to Use a Portable H2O Steam Cleaner How a Shop Vac WorksShow All ItemsI purchased an ash vacuum cleaner for my fireplace a few years ago. It's purpose is to vacuum the extinguished ash and small unburned charcoal pieces from the burning chamber. It works like a charm for the first 1-2 minutes but then the internal filter gets clogged by fine ash particles and it is useless. Also it is torturous to clean the vacuum filter, the bucket and the hose after all that clogging. So I didn't use it much except at the winter season finale, when I wanted to clean the burning chamber thoroughly. Show All ItemsThe eureka moment was when I remembered the principle of operation of another vacuum cleaner we had stored at the basement.
