Sponge Filter – Wet Use XL

Wet use XL sponge filter for the GVS-3k and GVS-36k gutter vacuums.  The sponge filter is designed to maximise airflow during wet gutter clears whilst offering protection for the motors from solids.

Care must be taken when removing and attaching the foam filter by the elastic to the lip of the float valve housing to avoid tear. The filter securely fits around the whole of the float valve housing unit.

The filter prevents larger clumps of moss and other solids from blocking the float valve during wet use.

To clean the sponge filter, simply remove, wash under a hose or tap, air dry and refit back to the head as shown below.  Please do not allow slurry to dry on the filter as the head will intake dry debris through the sponge.

Please note: This filter does not fit the float valve of the Panther, Shadow or Predator gutter vacuums.

Additional Information

When working on heavily saturated gutters, the cloth filter can become restricted by wet leaves, moss and debris.

Designed specifically for wet gutter cleaning, the sponge filter helps maintain maximum airflow while reducing the chance of the float valve becoming obstructed by heavy, waterlogged debris.

Key Benefits

  • ✔ Ideal for clearing heavily saturated gutters
  • ✔ Maintains powerful suction in wet conditions
  • ✔ Helps prevent wet leaves and moss from restricting the float valve
  • ✔ Quick and easy to fit in minutes
  • ✔ Can be used on its own or alongside the standard cloth filter for additional filtration
  • ✔ Washable and reusable for long service life

When should I use it?

The XL Wet Use Sponge Filter is recommended whenever gutters are holding a significant amount of water or when you’re expecting to collect wet leaves, moss and organic debris.

For extremely wet conditions, the sponge filter can be fitted (clean) beneath the standard cloth filter, or used on its own for maximum airflow.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your vacuum performing at its best:

  • Remove the sponge filter after use.
  • Wash thoroughly with clean water.
  • Squeeze out excess water and allow it to air dry.
  • Refit once clean and dry.

Important: Never leave wet dirt or debris on the sponge filter after use. As it dries, debris can harden into fine dust which may be drawn into the motors and reduce performance or cause damage.

Please note: This XL filter does not fit the float valve of the Panther, Shadow or Predator gutter vacuums.
