Central Vacuum Filters & Cartridges
Central vacuum filters purify the air by
removing potentially harmful dirt, dust, and
debris that may cause damage not only to your
central vacuum motor but, the health of yourself
and that of your family. Central vacuum filters
and cartridges have been used in central vacuum
canisters for years to protect excessive amounts
of fine materials and lung damaging particles
from reentering the indoor air around you.
Central vacuum cartridges along with
Central Vacuum
Bags
help to capture airborne allergens with modern
technologic advancements such as micron allergy
filtration and HEPA filtration.
Central Vacuum Filter Types
- Most central vacuum filters are disposable
but, some are permanent and others are even
washable. Continue reading the vacuum filter
reviews to determine the benefits of owning one
filter opposed to another.
 Disposable Filters - The best option for indoor air cleanliness
and lung health. For best performance, extremely
low maintenance, these central vacuum filters
should be replaced 2 to 3 times a year.
Replacing your filter or cartridge and central
vacuum bag ever so often is like changing the
filter in your air conditioner! Changing your
central vacuum filter greatly improves airflow
and velocity which is a key ingredient to have
continuous, 100% suction of your vacuum.
Washable Filters - These
filters require minimal maintenance. When
properly maintained, a washable central vacuum
canister or filter may last up to 2 or 3 years.
Although not as good as disposable filters, a
washable filter combined with a good central
vacuum bag, when cleaned often will keep suction
power and air flow of your system at optimum
levels.
Permanent Filters - Sold as
just that but, in actuality they eventually clog
over prolonged use and require higher
maintenance to uphold adequate suction and
eventually limit air flow. Although a permanent
central vacuum filter (similar to cyclonic or
central vacuum bagless units) may last your
system a lifetime, vacuum experts recommend
changing them every 5 to 7 years. A big drawback
to permanent filters and bagless systems is the
growth of mold, mildew and foul odors.
Simply put, using a bag and filter or
cartridge in your central vacuum will provide
outstanding filtration, maintain high efficiency
suction and improve indoor air quality. Filtered
units with bags are especially great for houses
that are not set up to be vented outside. We at
ThinkVacuums.com believe the cost of proper
central vacuum cartridges and central vacuum
bags are just a small price to pay to secure
your health and the prolonged life of your
central vacuum motor and system.
