Filters and Bags for
Wap, Alto, and Wap/Nilfisk Vacuums
(Attix, Aero, SQ, Turbo, Stihl, & Dynamics Model Vacuums)
Please select your vacuum in the table below, then click on the appropriate filter or bag number. OR, you may enter the bag or filter
number in the TOP LEFT CORNER SEARCH BAR at www.industrialvacs.com and hit "GO".
The Standard Filters (which are standard in any non-HEPA vacuum) filter to 1.0 microns,
which is perfect for drywall, sanding, autobody shops, woodworkers, and general
cleanup. Many off-the-shelf wet/dry vacuums use 5.0 microns of filtration. The fact that Wap vacuums use 1.0
micron filters makes them much better at capturing dirt and dust so it doesn’t
escape through the vacuum and back into the room (and that makes them better
for your health by protecting your lungs from debris). Wap filters (exluding
paper filters) are very durable and will last years with proper care
(particularly when used in conjunction with a bag or pre filter – see
below). All filters, except
filters made of paper, can be blown clean or knocked out, then washed with
water and air dried for 12-24 hours.
Paper filters can be blown clean or knocked out. Non-paper and heavy duty filters, as
well as all of the Standard 1.0 micron filters utilized by the SQ and Attix
model vacuums, are coated with PET (polyethylene terephthalate), a synthetic
coating that is the equivalent of polyester. This enhances their durability and resists mildewing
associated with non-synthetic filters used by many other vacuum manufacturers.
HEPA Filters
are more efficient than the Standard Filters, and thus filter all the way down
to 0.3 microns. They are certified
to OSHA, DoD, and EPA standards.
The filters are typically used with asbestos remediation or lead based
paint, and other dusts that are very fine and deemed hazardous to health. Wap vacuums that were originally not
purchased with HEPA filters can often be converted over to HEPA by getting the
HEPA filter listed next to your vacuum below. We generally do not recommend
you invest in a HEPA filter unless you need it for health or safety purposes,
hospital use, or “Clean Rooms” since the Standard 1.0 micron non-HEPA filters
are excellent at capturing dust.
A Pre-Filter,
also called Filter Liner, hangs down from the top of the canister and keeps
dust from accumulating in the crevices of the filter. This is particularly good if you use your vacuum to pick up
large volumes of dry dust, drywall dust, wet dusty debris, etc. Some Filter
Liners are “Plastic Coated,” making them more efficient at repelling dust,
particularly wet dust.
A Bag will
capture dust, keeping the canister clean and filter cleaner. They also make for easy disposal of
dust or debris. You can use a
vacuum without the Bags or a Pre-Filter; however, this exposes the filter
directly to the dust and dirt, making the filter get dirtier over time and
decreasing suction pull through the filter. To avoid dirt buildup in the filter
corrugations, we recommend you use either the Bags OR a Pre-Filter. Wap bags,
unless otherwise noted, are very efficient and will catch all debris down to
1.0 micron, keeping the filter very clean, and increasing the lifespan of the
filter. (Note, if you have one of the newer Attix vacuums with the XtremeClean
self-cleaning filter system that blows the filter clean as you work, you
probably will not need bags, unless you want to protect the filter with Bags or
a Pre-Filter.)
If you have any questions about
which filter or bags are right for your vacuum, please email us at sales@industrialvacs.com.
