Questions & Answers
What's suction value, inches of water?
Asked by gec April 1, 2021Hello gec, Thanks for asking! The suction power of this vac is rated at 161 CFM and water lift is 46 inches. If you have any other questions, you may call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time and we'll be glad to assist you. Thanks, RIDGID
How smooth is the inside of the hose?
Asked by Sj March 21, 2021Hello SJ, Thank you for asking. The inside of the hose is not completely smooth, but is smoother in profile than the outside of the hose. The texture is also a more slick surface than the outside allowing most dust and debris to pass through the inside of the hose unless it is too large or long. If you have questions or concerns, you may call us at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be glad to assist you.

Asked by Bookboy March 12, 2021Not much if any.
I have the Ridgid 16 gallon shop vac. It has lost power ( suction ) and I can find no blockage . ...
Asked by Steve March 4, 2021Steve, sounds like you might have broken the motor, or the motor driver. I would first try to exchange at home depot. If that doesn't work, you can try troubleshooting motor connections for infinite resistance (broken wire), or a short (near zero ohms). Then you could try looking at the motor driver board for any signs of burnt electronics by smell or appearance. Could also be a broken cord, or blown fuse(?).
