The dust collection tools as offered by Sidewalk Savers™ will only work as well as the vacuum system that is behind it. Vacuum power is
measured with two statistics: the cubic feet of air (CFM) that is moved through the filters and the height to which the motor will pull a
column on water (water column). Water column is also an indicator of how well the vacuum will maintain the rated CFM when the filter
gets dirty. The standard vacuums found in the hardware stores will usually have ample CFM but they are lacking in water column. When
the filter becomes clogged, they quit pulling.
Another shortcoming of the standard vacuums is the filter system. Most of these models have a single cartridge filter similar to the air
filter on a car. They have very little surface area and they are easily clogged. Once they are clogged, they quit working and our dust
collection products become inefficient. Sidewalk Savers (tm) can offer an excellent American made vacuum that is completely compatible
with our dust collection products.

Loveless Dry Ash Fine Particle Drywall Vacuum
The Drywall Vacuum is an excellent 120 Volt, 11.8 Amp vacuum at a very reasonable price. It is a
119 CFM, 16 gallon wet-or dry vacuum on casters with a heavy duty hose and a complete set of
attachments. Whereas the more common vacuums found in the hardware stores have between
30-40" of water column, our Drywall Vacuum has 76". The vacuum also has a triple filtration
system. There are two wet-or-dry filters that surround the motor and these can be cleaned by
shaking a cleaning "noggle" on the outside of the vacuum. In addition to these there is a micro
pre-filter bag that can be installed in the canister.
This vacuum does the job of vacuums costing more than $1,500.

Micro Pre-Filter Bag
The micro pre-filter bag is installed in the dry vacuum canister. This is a .5 micron disposable filter
that will hold up to 30 pounds of concrete dust. It works similar to the home vacuum system in
which the filter is thrown away once it is full of dust. When this filter is installed, the two filters that
surround the dry vacuum motor will rarely need cleaning.
The micro pre-filter bags come in packs of two.

Adapter Hose
The adapter hose 6' x 2" x 1.25" is compatible with most existing Shop Vac 2" diameter hoses, but
is able to be used wthout vacuum to still move most dust away from the operator.
