Product Details
The Shop-Vac® 2.5 gallon, 2.5 peak HP wet/dry vacuum is designed for lightweight and portable use, making it ideal for quick wet or dry pick-up jobs in various environments such as homes, garages, workshops, and vehicles. The kit includes a foam filter, paper disc filter, and collection bag, and features a rear blower port for blowing dirt out of hard-to-reach areas. The vacuum's peak horsepower (PHP) is a key metric in the wet-dry vacuum industry, serving as a comparative measure, though it does not reflect the vacuum's operational horsepower. The CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating indicates the volume of air the vacuum motor can move, which is influenced by factors such as hose type, accessory tools, and filter condition; regular maintenance of the filters is essential to maintain optimal suction and airflow. The sealed suction pressure (SP), measured in inches, denotes the height to which the vacuum can lift a column of water at zero airflow, with performance declining as airflow increases. Overall, vacuum performance relies on a combination of suction and airflow, with efficiency compromised by dirty filters, leaks, and specific attachments.
