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.

Thank you, RIDGID Customer Support **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.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND you use this paired with shopvac bags to catch 90% and this filter will be the backup so you don’t have to clean this filter daily!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Un filtre Hepa *by C***N on 8 April 2023* J’ai utilisé ce filtre avec mon aspirateur de chantier Ridgid. Je ne croyais pas voir de différence avec le filtre d’origine qui n’est pas hepa mais j’ai été agréablement surpris. Je l’ai utilisé pour aspirer de la poussière de gypse et la qualité de l’air est bien mieu qu’avant. Donc il est très efficace. Un peu cher mais je suppose que c’est le prix à payer pour mieu respirer. ## Frequently Bought Together - RIDGID 97457 VF6000 5-Layer HEPA Replacement Filter for 5-20 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuums - WORKSHOP Wet/Dry Vacs Vacuum Accessories WS25025A Muffler Diffuser Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum Attachment for Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaners, Fits Most 2-1/2-Inch Wet/Dry Vacuum Exhaust Ports --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/270802063-ridgid-97457-vf6000-5-layer-hepa-replacement-filter-for-5](https://www.desertcart.be/products/270802063-ridgid-97457-vf6000-5-layer-hepa-replacement-filter-for-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
