          A:  It should compare to the old one.

          by|Jan 6, 2022

            A:  I doubt it. Your filter fits inside a filter cage and has a different design 

            by|Jan 1, 2022

              A:  Hello rjc_, Thanks for your inquiry about our product. Yes, this VF4000 filter will fit our old WD09450. You no longer need to use the separate filter plate that came with the old filter since this filter comes with a built-in plate. However, you can still use the old filter nut to secure the filter. If you have questions or concerns, 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

                  A:  This filter is used for when your sucking up water or wet leaves. No need to put a paper filter on this as you can just wash this with your garden hose to clean it.

                  by|Oct 18, 2021

                    A:  It is used as a replacement for wet applications 

                    by|Oct 18, 2021

                      A:  Hello Dennis, Thanks for your inquiry about our product. This foam filter is not a direct substitute to the paper filter, This VF7000 is intended only for wet pickups. For dry pickus, the pleated paper filter must be used. Moreover, the wet foam filter will not fit over the paper filter. If you have questions or concerns, 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

                        A:  The foam filter is meant for use when picking up water/moisture.  You could use it for dirt, but you will have to wash it out.  The foam filter does not fit one the paper filter.

                          Q:Is the foam on this filter permanently adhered to it's housing or is the foam removeable? VF3700 Wet Application Foam Filter. Just thinking can buy filter material and hand sew material to cylinder shape to fit, much cheaper that a whole new filter.
