## Questions & Answers

**Q: can this filter be used with a non-HEPA vacuum to effectively capture lead dust when cleaning up after lead abatement?**
A: Absolutely not! I am a state certified Lead Inspector/Risk Assessor and I am also certified to teach Lead Safe Renovator classes, both the 8 hr. initial and the 4 hr. refresher. To comply with the EPA's mandates your vacuum must be a true HEPA vacuum. You cannot just put a HEPA filter in a shop vacuum. True HEPA vacs have the HEPA filter as the final filtration and have gasket seals, etc. They subsequently can be quite expensive, but not as expensive as the fines if you get caught using a standard shop vac.

**Q: Is this filter for both uses water and dirt,or dust?**
A: Hello Jeff Riggs, 

Yes this filter can be used for dry materials such as pollens, allergens, and pet dander. It can also be used for small amounts of liquid pickups. If you’re going to pick up large amounts of liquid, we highly recommend the VF7000 wet foam filter.

**Q: I have a rigid 6.25 hp 16 gallon wet/dry vac will this filter work with my shop vac?**
A: Yes, this VF6000 will work with RIDGID 5 to 16 gallon wet/dry vacuum.
