I need a HEPA (or at least close to HEPA) dust extractor for an upcoming job in a restaurant which will be open in the evenings the days I’m working in the mornings sanding/refinishing. I want to do it on a super tight budget so I can stack a little extra paper. Anyone have any experience putting a hepA filter on a dewalt stealth sonic vacuum? I’m looking at the 16 gal 5php specifically. Just wondering if a hepA filter would either

A. Over stress the motor

Or

B. Make it hella louder (not a dealbreaker but kinda defeats the purpose of paying extra for a quiet vacuum)

Thanks for any insight!

Just noticed the water smelled kinda funny, so I ran a little in The bath and it’s definitely got a brownish cast to it… anyone else? Did we get switched over to ditch water or something?
