This system is a attachment to your current wet/dry shop vac. I use it to clean my powder booth, pull dust from my media blasting cabinet, and clean the floors of my shop. I have been using it for about 6 months now and the filter in my shop vac is a clean as the day I bought it! Better yet there is no dust blowing around the shop to contaminate the next job!
Here are the materials you will need:
1.) PVC Pipe and fittings ( I used 1 1/2" pipe for mine. Dont go any larger than your shop vac hose. )
2.) 5 gal. bucket with lid that seals
3.) PVC glue and primer ( get the clear primer the purple primer looks awful and stains everything.
)
I made two of these for my shop I placed one under my spray booth and one next to the media blasting cabinet. I use a long PVC pipe to connect the two buckets. I have included some pictures of the design below. It is really very simple to assemble, I had the whole thing built and installed in less than 30 minutes.







Fill the buckets with 4-5 inches of water and make sure the long pipe inside the bucket is not under the water. the pipe in mine is about 2-3 inches above the water line. You will know when it is time to change the water when the water level rises about a 1" of so. The intake side is the side with the long PVC pipe. The exhaust side has the 90* PVC fitting ( this is very important). Well that it, I hope this can help some of you with your dust problems and maybe same you some of that hard earned $$$.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to walk you through it.
