Bag and filter FTW. Filters last a long time and the exhaust air is clean.I’ve never used a bag in my shop vac, I wonder if I’m supposed to?
I use the shopvac bags....this one doesn't have the slot, just the rubber seal and friction.Bag and filter FTW. Filters last a long time and the exhaust air is clean.
@tlmartin84 maybe a different brand? I have never had a bag slip off. Some shop vacs have a slot that the cardboard piece slips into, but my main vac just hold them on with friction
Not on the Shopvac I have. The whole bag wraps around the filter. The filter does not go inside of the bag.Where are you putting the bag ? They usually go over the filter.
That's interesting. I thought SV went out of business.Are you using too small of a bag? A bag that doesn't reach the bottom of the inside of the canister will likely pull off the intake tube as debris accumulates in the bottom of the bag causing the bag to become heavy. For example, the bag linked below is sized to fit up to a 22-gallon vacuum and is about 19 inches in height.

That's a completely different style of "bag".The filter bags I have came with a pretty strong rubber band that goes around the top part of the bag
where it comes in contact with lower part of the suction fan shroud inside the vac.

My wife had same issue but she was using a off brand bag.My bags slip off of the inlet after they collect a bit of dust on my 20 gallon. I guess they get sucked off when the bag clogs...
Regardless is there a way or an adapter to keep them on? I looked it over and it doesn't appear like I can even get a zip tie around it.
Ok, gotcha. It sounded to me like he was talking about the little bags that fit over the filter in order to keep the filter from clogging up.That's a completely different style of "bag".
The bags that the OP is using capture the dust and keep the tub clean.
