Can you use a shop vac without a bag?

Yes, you can use a shop vac without a bag by using the filter that is typically included with the shop vac. To use the shop vac without a bag, you will need to remove the bag and install the filter according to the instructions in the shop vac’s owner’s manual.

You may also need to change the filter periodically, as it can become clogged with debris over time. It’s important to keep the filter clean and in good condition to ensure that the shop vac is working effectively and efficiently.

If you do not have a filter or do not want to use the filter, you can also use the shop vac without a bag by attaching a hose directly to the inlet of the shop vac and using it to suction up debris and dust.

However, this method may not be as effective at capturing small particles and may allow some dust and debris to escape.
