Aquafilter for a do-it-yourself vacuum cleaner

• Cleanliness and order in the house is the key to the health of the whole family, especially those who suffer from allergic reactions to dust. We have known this truth since childhood. A broom, a bucket with a rag are well-known helpers, but come from the last century. The modern generation has the opportunity to use vacuum cleaners to cleanliness.

The home appliance market is full of different types of appliances, but developers are not standing still. They constantly refine and improve their models.

The models equipped with aquafilters gained deserved popularity. Thanks to them, the vacuum cleaner began to absorb all pollution, to detain small particles of dust, without return emissions into the room.

Buying a new vacuum cleaner is optional. You can make a water filter for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands. We will tell you what it will take.

Self-made aquafilter

What is a water filter in a vacuum cleaner

Aquafilter - a special container in a vacuum cleaner into which water is poured. Passing through the vessel, the intake air is cleaned of dust.

Is available several ways to clean.

• Hookah.
• Separate. Acts like a cyclone.
• Shower room. With additional humidification function.

Important! All water filters significantly improve the quality of cleaning and humidify the air in the room.

The water filter reservoir is more durable than dust bags and does not need to be replaced frequently. The container is easy to care for. It is only necessary to pour out the dirty liquid after cleaning, rinse the container under a stream of clean water, and wipe it with a cloth.

There are a lot of advantages, but such a fact as the high cost of the device can confuse when buying an aqua vacuum cleaner. If you are not ready to pay a tidy sum for such a miraculous vacuum cleaner, you can make improvised analogue from improvised materials. The scheme and order of work described in the article will help in this.

Homemade Water Filter

A self-made additional part will basically also have some kind of water tank. In terms of external characteristics, it, of course, will be inferior to branded copies. But the strength and effectiveness of absorption, and most importantly, the quality of cleaning, will be a worthy replacement.

An additional cleaning element can be equipped with a previously purchased inexpensive or old unit.

Important! The added aquafilter will increase the power of the device, allow you to change the filter in it less often, since it becomes an additional link installed before the vacuum cleaner.

Because of 90% of the mud settles in water, the garbage bin in the vacuum cleaner does not fill up for a long time. This is especially true when cleaning rooms after repair or construction work.

Filter Options

There are several options for making a water filter. Consider the most popular and suitable for home remodeling.

With foam filter

The work is carried out with the replacement of the factory filter with a foam one, supplemented by an aqua filter at the outlet.

In budget devices, most often the manufacturer installs an input filter of several layers of dense material. Therefore, the vacuum cleaner loses half of its power. It is worth replacing it with coarse-grained foam rubber, and the device will breathe, with greater force it will begin to suck up the garbage, and it will become quieter.

Water filter from pan, plastic bottle and flexible hose fixed at the air outlet.

Separator

It features high performance and can easily cope with various types of pollution.. This happens in stages, first in the separator, and then in the aquafilter. In purchased vacuum cleaners, the elements are combined in one housing. Separation of dust particles from air occurs under the influence of centrifugal force.

The function of the separator is to quickly rotate the liquid with trash, which under pressure will settle in the water. All particles will remain in the filter, and will not fly back.

How to make a water filter yourself

In every house there is an unnecessary bucket, pieces of pipes or hoses. If you are a fan of experiments and are ready to make a little effort, then you will be able to make a simple and cheap refinement of a simple vacuum cleaner.

We offer simple work options. They do not include the manufacture of a separate filter. This modification in independent execution is more complex, will require additional elements and skills in handling the equipment. In addition to the filter container and fasteners, you need to find a separator, pump and fan, suitable for each other in height and size.

Let's turn to more affordable ways to make a filter yourself.

From a bucket or pan

Materials and Tools

To work, you need to cook capacity for 7-10 liters. This can be a plastic bucket (for example, from under the paint, putty) or a pan. A tight-fitting cover is required.

Also need 2 pieces of plastic pipe, fabric, clamps for fastening, drill, glue.

Operating procedure

• In the bottom you need drill a hole by the diameter of the plastic pipe.
• Insert a piece of plastic pipe into the hole, which then we will fix the vacuum cleaner hose.
• From the outside for fixing coat the joints with glue,
• On the inside of the lid we close the pipe with a piece of cloth, fix it with a clamp. The fabric will serve as an additional barrier, which will reduce the amount of dust particles trapped in the bag of the vacuum cleaner.
• In the side of the bucket cut a round hole under the second pipe section.
• We insert it into the container at an angle downward, fix it with glue. We will attach a hose to it from a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle for cleaning.

Air coming out of this pipe into a bucket will beat against its wall, spinning the litter and creating a centrifugal force. Garbage will not be sucked into the vacuum cleaner, but will settle in the water poured in advance into the tank of a homemade aquafilter. Pour a little liquid. It should not reach the pipe.

From pan and plastic bottle

Materials and Tools

To make it, you will need aluminum pan, 5 liter plastic bottle that fits in the pan, flexible hose and screws.

Operating procedure

• To facilitate the construction, cut the pan bottom.
• For the handle, we fasten the container with a vacuum cleaner at the place where the air escapes.
• We drill several holes in the bottle, pour about a liter of water and insert it into the pan.
• We fix one end of the hose into the adapter on the vacuum cleaner, and lower the other into the bottle.

Before starting cleaning, draw water into the bucket, connect all the hoses and close the lid tightly. After the procedure, it is necessary to remove the lid from the bucket, pour out its contents, clean and dry the container.

Proceed with the implementation of the water filter manufacturing plan only after a thorough analysis of all available information and a real assessment of your capabilities.

In this case, the modernization process will be successful, and you will become the owner of a modern apartment cleaning machine. After refinement, your vacuum cleaner will be able to clean not only various surfaces in the room, but also will refresh the air in it.
