Should shop vac filter be removed for wet vac use?

Yes. I'm certainly no expert, but I recently used my shop-vac to clean up my spa and drain the remaining 20 or so gallons in the bottom.I took the filter out and removed the drain plug from the bottom of the canister. It didn't have as much suction as I thought, so as the hose filled up, I lifted it up and let the water drain into the canister. I had to shut off the vacuum to let the water drain out, then continued. It took a while, but was pretty easy.

Clean filters equals long shop life on a Ridgid Shop Vac?

The filters on Ridgid Shop Vacs need to be relatively clean to keep the motor from overworking and overheating. However, the filters do not have to be changed as often as some people think. If you take the filter out and �whack� it against a flat surface, 80% to 90% of the material will fall off the filter. The filter should last you about 1 year. If water is vacuumed with a dirty filter, there is a high probability that the filter will need to be changed. Water will mix with dirt on the filter, harden, and you will not be able to get the filter clean. If water is vacuumed, do not let it sit in the vac. Water evaporates straight through the motor, condensates inside the motor as it tries to evaporate, and creates rust. Keep the vac clean and it will provide you with many years of service.
