The Dustless Technologies D1606 is a 16-gallon certified HEPA wet/dry vacuum built for remediation contractors, abatement crews and restoration professionals who have to meet OSHA and EPA dust-containment rules on every job. It captures the fine, hazardous dust that ordinary shop vacuums blow straight back into the air, so the people on your crew breathe easier and your housekeeping stands up to inspection.
The HEPA filter is individually tested, certified and serialized, rated at 99.97% efficiency at 0.3 microns - far smaller than most bacteria, viruses and the finest concrete, drywall, fiberglass, stone and masonry dust. That makes the D1606 a practical choice for silica housekeeping and drill-hole cleanup under OSHA's respirable crystalline silica rule, as well as lead paint, asbestos and hexavalent chromium work.
Built for
- Concrete grinding, cutting and drilling cleanup where silica dust must be contained
- Lead paint and asbestos abatement housekeeping that has to satisfy EPA and OSHA
- Water damage and flood restoration, switching between wet and dry pickup on the fly
- Drywall, fireproofing and masonry dust control on active job sites
A dual-filtration system pairs the HEPA filter with a washable filter cover, and adding Dustless Wunderbag pre-filters can extend HEPA filter life up to ten times - a real saving given the cost of certified HEPA media. An interior baffle wall protects the filters from water and helps prevent overfilling, so you can go from vacuuming dry dust to extracting standing water without stopping to change filters.

Frequently asked questions
Is the D1606 OSHA silica compliant?
Yes. The D1606 uses a certified HEPA filter rated at 99.97% at 0.3 microns and meets OSHA and EPA requirements for respirable crystalline silica housekeeping and drill-hole cleanup, as well as lead and asbestos containment.
Can it pick up water as well as dry dust?
Yes. It is a true wet/dry vacuum. An interior baffle wall protects the filter from water, so you can switch between wet and dry pickup without changing filters.
What is a Wunderbag and do I need one?
A Wunderbag is a disposable pre-filter that catches bulk debris before it reaches the HEPA filter. It is not required, but using one can extend HEPA filter life up to ten times and lower your operating cost.
Does it include a floor tool?
The vacuum ships with the HEPA filter, filter cover, two Wunderbag pre-filters and a 12-foot hose. The HEPA Beater Bar floor tool is sold separately.
