Because this cleaner is so multifaceted, there are many parts available for it. The first, and possibly most important component of the Sop-Vac, is the filter. Shop-Vac filters come in many different shapes and sizes customizable depending on the project at hand. Disposable Collection Filter Bags are easy to install, disposable, filters that can be used for your everyday cleaning and pick-up needs for things such as dirt, dust, and small debris. Disposable Collection Filter Bags usually come in a package of three and are made to fit Shop-Vacs from 5 to 22 gallons.

Other types of Shop-Vac filters include the Reusable Disc Filter and the Cartridge Filter. The Reusable Disc Filter is a more economically solution to your pick-up needs. Instead of throwing them out as you do the disposable filters mentioned above, these filters can be washed and reused again and again. This will save you both money and time. These types of filters, which resemble those used in a coffee maker, can be used to pick up larger pieces of debris and other dry material. These also tend to come in packs of three and require the purchase of Mounting Rings for their secure attachment. Cartridge Filters are another great option created for the full size Shop-Vac. Developed to tackle your toughest mess, the Cartridge Filter can be used for both dry and wet cleaning.

Once you’ve got your filter in place, it is time to decide what and where you will clean first. If you’re in need of some general pick up, a standard flexible hose may be your best bet. These come in different sizes ranging from 1.25 inches to 2.5 inches in diameter and can expand up to 12 feet in length. For more specific cleaning projects, a specialized nozzle may be necessary. Different Shop-Vac nozzles include: floor nozzles, claw utility nozzles, dual surface nozzles, gulper nozzles, inflator nozzles, multipurpose floor nozzles, brush and squeegee nozzles, upholstery nozzles, turbo nozzles, crevice tools, a hand sander, and the drain hero.  This large variety of nozzles will help you tackle cleaning on hardwood, carpet, in the car, on the furniture and window treatments.
