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.

. When I had the pipe under the water it sounded like Jesus was coming back. Plus it was boiling the water and the sucking it into the shop vac. It is very effective like it is there is NO dust or powder getting past the bucket. The inside of my shop vac looks new. There really is no need for a baffle other than extra security mesure. now that I have installed the 90* fitting I have not had a problem with water being sucked out of the bucket.
