Ok i have a ets 3000w wet and dry vac for gutters when i spoke to ets about the filter they siad it should remain in at all times as thats what seals the vac were i don't believe this once machine is on it is sealed only reason i ask is gutters have wet and dry soils iv'e been using with filter in all times but i think i should have filter out most of the time anyone else use this machine or similar and how do you get on with gutters Cheers Phil.

the cloth filter should be left out if sucking wet material and left in when sucking dry material, if sucking wet there should be a float mechanism that floats up and prevents over filling so water does not get into the vac motors, obviously this would not work for dry material and dust and so that is when you use the cloth filter. if the cloth filter gets wet whilst in use then this will be reducing your suction

That's what i thought trevor and why iv'e been confused by ETS telling me to keep filter in at all times  as statated also gutters tend to have a mix of wet and dry so do we have filter in or out ?

i run always filter out as its normally moist if not wet

do you have an ets Carl ? i cleaned my pipes today without filter in and it was mint but when i had finished i shook the motor and it sounded like water was slushing inside allthough still worked fine. And carl do you have any probs without the filter in because i worry that it's not just water but bitty aswell Cheers Phil.

Trev, after leaving our filter bag out it suck bits up and then eventually loses suction then requires cleaning.

Hi lee
 i did mention that your float chamber should have a cage filter round the outside if it had one of these on then what you are talking about would not happen, when i am at the office on monday i will take a picture of mine and forward it onto you so you can adapt yours

i have one used the filter once the day I bought it, wet or dry its never in the vac

[Phil @ Extreme Clean]

maybe just them sponge filters you wrap over the vac would be better
