A: Hello, thank you for your question. Porter‑Cable does not offer an official HEPA filter for this model. The vacuum comes with a standard cartridge/dry-pickup filter (#08-2566B) only.

A: Hello, thank you for your question. You use the cartridge filter for dry operations, and you must remove it for wet cleanups.

A: Hello, Thank you for your question. The user manual states, "This wet/dry vac is equipped with a float mechanism which will rise automatically to cut off the airflow when the liquid in the tank reaches a predetermined level. When this happens, turn off vac, unplug the power cord, and empty the dust tank. You will know that the float has shut the airflow off because the suction ceases, and the motor noise becomes higher in pitch due to increased motor speed. The liquid capacity may vary with the rate of pickup." Hope this information helps!

A: Hi, Yes, this vacuum can be used for that purpose.

A: Hi, Per the owner's manual you can use it for this purpose, however, it also states, "Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall dust without filter and dust bag in place. These are very fine particles that may affect the performance of the motor or be exhausted back into the air. Additional dust bags are available."

A: Hi, This unit does not use a Hepa filter. We would recommend an exterminator for the mites or reach out directly to Porter-Cable for what vacuum/filter combo would work best. You can reach them at ***PORTER-CABLE*** https://www.portercable.com/submit-request OR CALL 1 (888) 848-5175

A: Hi, This shop vacuum uses a cartridge filter only.
