I'm looking into buy a prefilter and I'm looking at the devastator. I was wondering if I can use the devastator on my blazer xl? Also if I buy the devastator I don't know what one to buy any suggestions?

Yup. I have the Sapphire box. My in tank basket still gets full of crud. Looks great super tough. But the dev will keep your tank clean.
Is there an option(would you recommend) for 2.5 on one side and 2" on the other? For people that run 2.5" for the first 50" off the truck, use it like a reducer.
Can I ditch the waste tank filter if using the dev? Will it(dev) give more flow than the waste tank filter?

Do you still use the box(removable) filter in the tank? I'd like to hope not.
I leave my filter basket in the tank when I'm using the devastator. For the main reason of, if the devastator gets filled up on a nasty job, I can just disconnect it in the middle of the job, and hook the hose up directly to the tank.
The main reason I like that, is because I don't have to clean my filter out in the middle of the job. I can just keep rug sucking

I just keep spare bags in the van.
Because I REALLY prevacuum, I seldom fill a filter in the middle of a job.

I rarely get full to the point of vacuum loss, but I have pulled the filter on occasion when we're almost finished and we want to go home!
It always feels like we're never going to finish some jobs.

Take one of these and put one of these with it and wash your filter down.

You must have the blue devastator, because the new stainless steel ones aren't too easy to swap out the paint filter in the middle of the job.
I really prevac also. There's those jobs where there's so much sand in the carpet, it's impossible for the vacuum cleaner to remove it all out. That's what's filling up my devastator

Stainless is no harder than the blue. I've got both.

I have no pre-filter, waste tank filter or blower filter.

Pretty soon you're not going to have a blower either.

Tom offers tight and loose inserts for the filter
I don't use any filter except for the blower filter.. Not sure why you wouldn't use that one!?

You pull a trailer and say it's easy, but have a hard time taking out a filter mid-job?!?.......
I have both the blue and ss one. The blue one comes off real quickly and easy, yet the ss one is fit in really tight. I have to tear the paint filter to get it outYou pull a trailer and say it's easy, but have a hard time taking out a filter mid-job?!?.......
