3. Operating Instructions
Always select the appropriate filter for the type of debris you are collecting to ensure efficient operation and prolong the life of your vacuum and filters.
3.1. Dry Pickup

- Ensure the foam sleeve is removed when using the cartridge filter.
3.2. Wet Pickup
- Use the foam sleeve filter for collecting liquids and wet debris.

4. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and timely replacement of your filters will ensure your Shop-Vac operates at its best and maintains strong suction.
4.1. Cleaning the Cartridge Filter
- Unplug the vacuum and remove the power head.
- Carefully remove the cartridge filter.
- Use the included cleaning brush or a stiff brush to gently brush off excess dirt and debris from the pleats.
- For deeper cleaning, the cartridge filter can be washed with water. Rinse from the inside out under running water until the water runs clear.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstallation. Do not use heat to dry.
4.2. Cleaning the Foam Sleeve Filter

- Rinse the foam sleeve thoroughly under running water to remove collected debris.
- Gently squeeze out excess water.
- Allow the foam sleeve to air dry completely before reinstallation.
4.3. Replacement Frequency
Filters should be cleaned regularly after heavy use. Replace filters annually or sooner if you notice a decrease in suction, visible damage, or if cleaning no longer restores performance.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your vacuum's performance after installing the ANBOO replacement filters, consider the following:
- Reduced Suction:
- Ensure the filter is clean and not clogged.
- Verify the filter is correctly seated and sealed against the motor housing.
- Check that only one filter type (cartridge or foam sleeve) is installed at a time, appropriate for the task.
- Filter Not Fitting Properly:
- Confirm your Shop-Vac model is compatible with replacement parts 90304 or 90585.
- Ensure the filter cage is free of obstructions or damage.
- Note: This product is designed for most 5-gallon and up Shop-Vac models but may not fit specific portable models like H87S or HangUp vacuums.
- Water Spraying During Wet Pickup:
- Ensure the foam sleeve is installed correctly and completely covers the filter cage.
