Yes, this filter is not compatible with the following Shop-Vac models: J200A, K250, KA450, L250, MACM-250, MACS-200D, MC150A, MC12V1800, 1x1, Micro, HangOn, HangUp Mini, All Around, and All Around Ez.
The foam sleeve filter is specifically intended for wet pick-up applications. It prevents liquid from damaging the vacuum motor when you are cleaning up spills or wet messes. Always remove the paper cartridge filter before installing the foam sleeve for wet vacuuming.
You should replace the cartridge filter if you notice a significant loss of suction power, if the filter appears torn or punctured, or if you can no longer remove fine dust and debris from the pleats by tapping or brushing it. A clogged filter forces the motor to work harder, which can lead to overheating.
The cartridge filter typically secures to the filter cage using a retainer cap or a screw-down nut provided with your original vacuum unit. Ensure the rubber seal at the base of the filter is seated firmly against the vacuum housing to maintain an airtight seal.
The foam sleeve can be rinsed with water and mild soap; ensure it is completely air-dried before reinstalling. While some cartridge filters can be gently cleaned by tapping them against a hard surface or using compressed air from the inside out, they should be replaced once they become heavily soiled or if the paper material begins to degrade.
