How to make an aqua filter for vacuum cleaner with your own hands

Vacuum cleaner - the necessary equipment in any home. For a better order, experts recommend purchasing models with aqua filter. They effectively absorb all the dust in the air. A regular vacuum cleaner with the necessary tools can be equipped with a similar filter. Let's consider how to make an aqua-filter for an already existing vacuum cleaner with your own hands.

What is a water filter for?

With the help of a water filter built into the vacuum cleaner, you will be able to efficiently perform wet cleaning of the room, get rid of bacteria, pathogens, dust mites, animal hair, fill the air with purity, freshness and moisten it.

The principle of operation of the aqua filter vacuum cleaner

By and large, an aqua-filter is a device in which there is tank filled with water. The separator in the device, which operates according to the cyclone type, drives the water tank. The vacuum cleaner sucks air with particles of dust, litter and dirt, then it all passes through the water, in which all the pollution settles. After that, the air passes through the filters, where it is finally cleaned and humidified. As a result, clean and fresh air returns to the room.

After each use of the vacuum cleaner with an aqua-filter, you need to wash the container and thoroughly dry all the available filters to avoid bacteria.

Types of water filters

Aqua filters are of two types:

1. Hookah - are distinguished by a simple design. The vacuum cleaner does not do very well with fine dust, but it absorbs large particles completely. You can fix this by installing additional filters in it. The disadvantage of the hookah filter is that it must be systematically washed and thoroughly dried. In addition, he has a small volume of water tank.
   

2. Separate. This type of water filter separates dust and air particles due to centrifugal force.Contaminated particles trapped in the filter are deposited in water and are not released back into the room. Benefits vacuum cleaners of separate type are high quality cleansing, durability. Such models are expensive.

How to choose a vacuum cleaner with an aqua filter

At purchase it is recommended:

1. Stop the choice on the device power not less than 200 watts.
2. Choose stronger case materials.
3. Consider instruments with a large reservoir for liquids so that you do not have to change the water frequently.

Water filter do it yourself

The negative side of the vacuum cleaner with an aqua filter is its high cost. That is why many craftsmen make their aqua-filter for the vacuum cleaner already in the house. In addition, you can significantly save money by making it out of scrap materials.

Option number 1

If you undertook to make a water filter for a cheap vacuum cleaner, you can also increase power appliance. How to do it? On the incoming filter, you need to replace the paper element with foam. As a result, the machine will begin to absorb debris with greater force. Low-cost models of vacuum cleaners at the outlet have a filter made of dense material, due to which the power of the device is lost.It is necessary to choose a medium density material for the filter so that the instrument's power does not decrease due to it, but at the same time small particles of dust are retained.

Before you begin to assemble the water filter, you need to prepare all the necessary tools and materials. We will need:

1. Pan made of aluminum.
2. Plastic water bottle, 6 liters.
3. Screws in the amount of 3 pieces.
4. Metal adapter.
5. Flexible hose
6. 4 screws.

So let's get started! First you need to cut a circle in the bottom of the pan, the diameter of which should be 3 cm smaller than the diameter of the pan. Using self-tapping screws, fasten the pan to the vacuum cleaner at the air outlet, pre-drilled holes in it.

Plastic bottle set in the pan. In the bottle, you need to make holes for the release of clean, filtered air and pour 1-1.5 liters of water into it. Polluted air will pass through the water, where debris and dust particles will settle.

Self-made device using a metal adapter and screws fastened to the exhaust of a vacuum cleaner. We attach the flexible hose to the adapter, at the other end we make a slot, through which a whirlpool will occur inside the bottle. Done!

Option number 2

Consider how to make an aqua filter. separate type. We will need:

1. Separator.
2. Water tank.
3. Water pump.
4. Fan.
5. Parts for mounting.

On the dust collector you need to install a casing. Next, fasten the pump with a rubber ring. To reduce the noise emitted by the vacuum cleaner during operation, you need to stick polyethylene on its bottom.

With a minimum of effort and spending a little time, it is possible to make a water filter for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands. It's time to try it out in practice and make sure that this version of the aqua filter has the right to exist. If self-production was a bang, you can try build a cyclone filter for vacuum cleaner.
