How Do You Convert A Craftsman Wet/Dry Vac?
A Sears Craftsman wet/dry vac is also called by the generic name of a Craftsman shop vac. These Craftsman wet/dry vacs use both foam and cartridge filters, as well as paper filter covers. This makes them versatile enough to pick up dry dirt and other debris, yet they can be easily converted to pick up standing water too. To convert a Craftsman wet/dry vac, the filters themselves must be changed from a dry pick-up mode to a wet pick-up mode, and if a proper conversion is not done, the shop vac will be ruined. Open the Craftsman wet/dry vac by pulling the attachment tabs out from the vacuum tank. This will separate the upper motor housing from the lower tank. Pull the motor housing up and away, then set it on a table. Place a Sears Craftsman paper filter over the foam filter. The foam filter will be located on the motor housing unit, and the paper filter must be folded up and over the foam filter. Once the paper filter completely covers the foam filter, slide an enclosed attachment ring
