Do you have to remove filter to vacuum up water
Hello Tommy, Thank you for your recent inquiry with The Home Depot. When picking up small amounts of liquid (less than 2 inches (5 cm) of liquid in the bottom of the drum) the filter may be left in place. When picking up large amounts of liquid (more than 2 inches (5 cm) of liquid in the bottom of the drum) it is recommended that the filter be removed. If the filter is not removed, it will become saturated, and misting may appear in the exhaust. When the liquid in the drum reaches a predetermined level, the float mechanism will rise automatically to cut off airflow. You will know that the float has risen because vacuum airflow ceases and the motor noise will become higher in pitch, due to increased motor speed. When this happens, turn off the vacuum, unplug the power cord, and empty the drum. After using the vacuum to pick up liquids, the filter must be dried to avoid possible mildew and damage to the filter. The RIDGID Wet Application Filter (VF7000) is designed for your RIDGID wet/dry vacuum to use when picking up high volume liquids with debris. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.
Hello Tommy, Thank you for reaching out about our product. For small amounts of liquid pickup, feel free to keep the original filter in place. However, when dealing with larger quantities of liquid, it's important to remove the filter. Neglecting this step may lead to the filter becoming saturated and misting appearing in the exhaust port. If you anticipate handling more liquid pickups and would like to further protect the motor, we recommend considering the VF7000 wet foam filter as an additional option. This filter is available at Home Depot stores or online at homedepot.com and store.ridgid.com. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-474-3443. We are available Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time. Alternatively, you can also reach out via email at info@ridgidvacs.com, and we will be more than happy to assist you promptly. Best regards, RIDGID
My Ridgid vac blows air out the side. Can you please help? Do I need to duck tape it or is there a plastic piece I am missing?
Hi Airblowingout, Thank you for your inquiry on our product! It is normal in our vacuums to blow out airfrom the exhaust port when in use for vacuuming. You might want to check VT2525 Muffler/ Diffuser accessory that you can attach to the blowing port to reduce the air stream. This is available at any local Home Depot stores or online https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-2-1-2-in-Diffuser-Accessory-Shop-Vac-Attachment-for-RIDGID-Wet-Dry-Vacuums-VT2525/100037235. For any other questions, please call our Customer Service 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.

Is this vacum easy to get water out at 6 gallons ?
Hi Dolfnjon, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. To answer your question, the vacuum is designed to facilitate the removal of water and debris, even when it’s filled to around 6 gallons. However, for safety reasons, it’s important to avoid lifting a vacuum that is heavy with liquid or debris. Instead, you should partially empty by scooping debris or draining liquid from the vacuum before lifting to reduce the risk of back injury or falls. Please follow the "Important safety instructions" in the owner's manual for safely emptying and handling the vacuum 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. Thanks, RIDGID
I don’t have an instruction booklet. Do I just assemble the vac , turn it on and suck up the water?
Hello Sandra, Thank you for reaching out to us regarding our product. You can easily download the PDF copy of the manual at this link under Support Documents: https://www.ridgid.com/us/en/6-gallon-nxt-wet-dry-vac#support When it comes to handling small amounts of liquid, our original pleated paper filter is a suitable choice. It effectively captures liquid without compromising the performance of your vacuum. However, for larger liquid volumes, we recommend removing the filter to prevent water misting and ensure optimal functionality. If you frequently encounter dirty water or regularly use your vacuum for wet pickups, we have just the solution for you! Our wet foam filter VF7000, available at Home Depot stores, is specifically designed to handle these situations with ease. This high-quality filter will provide exceptional performance and peace of mind during your cleaning sessions. Should you have any further questions or concerns, our dedicated Customer Service team is here to assist you. Feel free to reach out at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Standard Time.

Thanks for writing a review and we’re sorry to know your disappointment about the product. While most customers are satisfied with the suction power of this vac, you may return the vac to Home Depot store within 90 days of purchase. This vacuum is rated at 64 CFM suction power. Additionally, there are several factors that can affect actual airflow, including turbulence in the hose and wands, restrictions on airflow where the cleaning tool meets the floor or other surface, as well as filter loading. The HD06001 is rated 82 decibels with the hose attached. Vacuums can get loud especially when used in an enclosed space. We highly recommend wearing ear protectors when using the vac for extended period or in a noisy area. If you need a vac with higher CFM, you may contact us directly so we can help you find one suitable for your needs.
If you have other questions, please 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
