Hi,

For some years I have used an aquavac wet/dry vacuum cleaner. It's
lasted well until recently but all the DIY-related dust has started
to clog the filters at a fast pace. I was thinking that for the
price of half a dozen filters I could buy a new vacuum! Can anyone
recommend a good vacuum for domestic and DIY use that has relatively
cheap consumables?

Just a thought....
I wonder if anyone has tried using a water-filter to filter the dust
through such a beast.
What I mean is... extending the inlet pipe down to the bottom of the
drum and putting a few litres of water in.
All dust would then be retained within the water which could be
changed very rapidly at no cost.
No filters, 100% efficiency and 100% dust captured.
A vacuum cleaner bong!

It has been done several times. None of the major producers ever launched
it, a few fringe manufacturers did & charged well OTT prices for the
machines. It never really caught on.
