Shop Vac Flaws Grind Use to a Halt

17.05.12

I have a Genie shop vacuum that is more than 25 years old. It has been drub up, dropped, and otherwise abused, and except for the fact that its suction is not phenomenal, it has performed well for years. It has a hose outlet which is huge for blowing dust out of stuff, and I've only had to tear it down once to clean and lube the motor. I've connected it to sanders to keep the dust down, balanced it on ladders, and normally banged it around.

About five years ago, I was given a more modern shop vac as a gift. It was a sleek-looking thing, and it had more suction than the Genie, so I relegated the Genie to the back corner. The new vacuum didn't have an attachable escape so I kept the Genie in service as a blower.

Soon after using the new one, it started making a grinding clangour when I shut it off. I decided to check the motor for oil. Thats when I discovered the vacuums poor design. The first thing I noticed was that one of the screws had never been installed. This was not a pretty pickle as the plastic fit well, but it revealed poor workmanship.

Why do shop vacuum cleaners have a ball (sphere of plastic) in the frame that is covered by the filter?

The ball can move up and down. I looked closely, and the ball can seal the mess. I flipped my vacuum upside down and the pressure easily holds the ball there. I suppose it must be there to help the flow. Not firm if any swirling occurs below the impeller

Shop vacs are designed to suck up liquids and when the tank fills the ball will hang and eventually plug the air suction opening to the blower.

The ball is there to prevent liquid from the tank from being sprayed out of the vacuum and to
