A:  Hello RICK, Thank you for your inquiry. To remove the filter, Hold the filter tabs of the Qwik Lock™ filter in each hand. With one thumb on the Qwik Lock™ stud, which protrudes through the integrated filter plate, lift on the filter tabs while pushing down on the stud. This action will cause the filter to release from the filter cage. Slide filter off cage. To install it back, carefully slide the Qwik Lock™ filter over the filter cage and press down on the outside edge of the filter until the rubber gasket on the bottom of the filter seats securely around the base of the filter cage and against the lid. Align the small center hole in the top of the filter over the Qwik Lock™ stud on the filter cage. Press firmly on top of the filter near the stud to allow the filter to snap over the ball on the end of the stud. For any other concerns, 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.

A:  Hello Mattlock, Thanks for your inquiry about using our RIDGID wet/dry vacs for cleaning up debris from power tools. Our wet/dry vacs are a great tool for handling dirty water and debris from a range of sources and use cases. However, without fully understanding the specific equipment, conditions, and potential hazards involved in your particular job, we cannot confidently recommend using our vacs for this application. The safety and effectiveness would depend on many factors. We would suggest researching online forums to see how other users have employed wet/dry vacs with their power tools. That may provide some helpful insights. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call our Customer Service team at 1-800-474-3443, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM Central Time. You can also email us at info@ridgidvacs.com, and we'll be glad to assist you further. Thank you for your interest in RIDGID products. Sincerely, RIDGID

A:  Hello Lisa, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. The air blowing out from the vac is normal; it is the exhaust port of the vac. It is not recommended to stop or interrupt the airflow from the motor because it may put a strain on the motor and cause it to overheat and possibly burn up. However, there is an optional VT2525 diffuser that is designed to disperse the airflow of the air coming out of the exhaust and there is also a small reduction in noise level. It also can improve the pitch of the exhaust noise on most vacs. You can buy the VT2525 diffuser at the local Home Depot store near you. Also, if you connect the hose to the blower port, the air that comes out of that hole can be used as a blower. You can blow leaves from your porch, or dust out of your garage. If you have further questions or concerns, you may call Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or email us at info@ridgidvacs.com Thank you, RIDGID Customer Support
