Two interesting incidents with vacuum cleaners prompted me to purchase a Wet/Dry off the pallet in Bunnings, an Ozito metal can cheapy.
The first incident was using my wife's ancient residential Rainbow which uses a water bath to clean the dust out of the airstream ( no bag ) to capture Stink Beatles off our lime tree - very successful and I can recommend it.
The second was to use an old horizontal bag Electrolux to suck up spilt wine and water/detergent off the carpets in my van.
Got the carpet clean but disposed of the cleaner after the workshop power tripped off - not successful and not recommended.
When the Ozito box was opened, discovered the instructions state that one must use the Foam Filter sleeve over the fan housing when using for wet vac, and the Filter Bag when using for dry vac.
Damn it - I wanted a "Wet and Dry" like my wife's Rainbow, not a "Wet or Dry".
Tried it out on swarf/dirt off the workshop floor with the Foam Filter.
Most of the spoil was in the bottom of the can, but there was some on the filter element.
Is anybody tinkering to get these vacs to work better on both wet and dry without changing filter elements ?
