SOURCE: Water isdischarging from the exhaust of my new Ridgid Wet/Dry Vac
Hi Robinm61,
I always have the filter in - - it helps protect the motor.
If you're going to vac liquids, I recommend use of an intermediate trap to
stop most of the liquid from getting to my vac (makes clean-up a LOT
easier). A cyclone-top (available at Rocker.com, for example) fitting on a 5-gallon pail works great. The
liquid is mostly deposited in the 5-gal pail, and doesn't gum-up the guts of your vac. You need another section of hose, but that's another one of those tools that is hard to have too-much of. (Rockler also sells a nice hose as part of it's Vacuum Tool Kit - also at Rockler.com). Photos (courtesy of Rockler.com) follow below.
If I can be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it accordingly.
Thanks in-advance,
Jon

all you have to do is open it up and take the paper filter off and then it's a wet vac. If it has a foam over filter you leave that on
