No fabrication necessary. Just get a filter that the vac originally
came with. The foam is not it. The foam piece is supposed to go over
the pleated paper filter.


Are you sure? I sort of assumed the paper filter circle went over
the foam. Wouldn't putting the foam over paper likely rip the paper?

There are also washable pleated filters for most models. They are
about $30 but last a long time.


I forgot about that one.

But are you saying tghere are three kinds, the circle, a pleated one,
and the washable pleated one? I thought there was only one pleated
one, washable.


the foam filter is for WET vacuuming;for dry,you use a pleated paper filter
or a filter bag that fits in the tub.
