I use this CT22/UDD system everyday and have had no static issues.

I only feel a bit of hair raising at the box when my arm is next to it, so the new Cyclone from them will hopefully make my set-up even better. I've never felt any real shocks when I use my UDD, no matter what vacuum/ CT I'm using.
jbasen said:When the static problems were first discussed on FOG and there was mention of a retrofit kit from Oneida for the UDD I contacted Oneida and they quickly shipped me the kit. At that time the kit didn't include a new cyclone; instead it just included additional metallic tape. After reading about the improved kit with a cyclone made out of black, conductive plastic I contacted Oneida asking if they could just send me the additional new parts in the 2nd generation retrofit kit. Instead, they sent me an entire new kit. I've installed the additional new parts on my UDD and not only is it a cleaner installation with the black hose between the cyclone and the CT and the black plastic cyclone but I'm not experiencing any static buildup when using the vac.
Seems that Oneida has really addressed the static issue and has shown themselves to be a quality company with excellent customer service.

That's why I opted for a Sortainer under my UDD. It's my first aid kit.jbasen said:Thanks Jack.
It is great to almost never replace the Festool bags and filters.
My only wish is that the UDD design didn't make you give up having a Systainer on top of your vac. I realize you could put one Inbetween the UDD and the vac but then you loose the ability to quickly get inside the Systainer.
