Our HEPA Vacuums Exceed EPA RRP HEPA Filtration Requirements
So, what does the EPA mean by a
HEPA vacuum cleaner? In 40 CFR 745.83, the EPA states:
“HEPA vacuum means a vacuum cleaner which has been designed with a high
efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter as the last filtration stage. A
HEPA filter is a filter that is capable of capturing particles of 0.3
microns with 99.97% efficiency. The vacuum cleaner must be designed so
that all the air drawn into the machine is expelled through the HEPA
filter with none of the air leaking past it.”
While the EPA does NOT currently
approve or certify any manufacturers’ vacuums or HEPA filters (the EPA is a law writing agency not a testing/approval agency), Attix
HEPA vacuum cleaners exceed the EPA’s definition of a HEPA vacuum and
are adequately equipped to safely collect hazardous lead dust generated
during renovations.
- Our Vacuums exceed EPA HEPA Filtration Requirements by filtering to 0.3 microns with 99.99%
efficiency.
- All HEPA vacuums come with HEPA filters that are individually tested and certified to meet the EPA RRP HEPA filtration requirements.
- All HEPA filters come with individual HEPA certificates.
This provides the necessary documentation and protection you need in case of an inspection.
- Older model Nilfisk/Wap/Attix/Alto/Aero vacuums can be converted to HEPA vacuums by utilizing a HEPA filter on the vacuum. Click HERE for a selection of HEPA filters.
- All vacuums have fully sealed containers. It is recommended you avoid off-the-shelf HEPA vacuums that, unlike our HEPA vacuums, often do not have sealed containers, leading to dust blowing through the vacuum. OurHEPA vacuums are designed for contractor and industrial grade, to prevent blow through of dust. Click HERE for a video demonstration.
- By using bags with HEPA filters, the HEPA vacuums are equipped with multi-stage
filtration, including a tested and certified HEPA filter.
- All HEPA vacuums for lead abatement can be
equipped with optional turbo and/or power nozzles. These are floor tools equipped with a carpet beater bar
to dislodge heavy lead particulate that may be embedded in the carpet.
For more information on beater bar nozzles, click HERE.
- Selected HEPA vacuums can be used in conjunction with
vacuum-assisted power tools to collect hazardous lead debris at the
source. A tool cuff can be attached at the end of the hose to connect to the discharge port of a power tool or sander.

Working in tennant improvement in the healthcare industry over twenty
years I've used several different models of vacuum. Now that HEPA vacs
are required I've traded in my big "orange" hepa vacs for the Attix 8.
These little blue power houses have stronger suction, are lighter for
the crews to care (they love them), and the vacuum bags stay put and
don't fall into the canister fouling the whole unit. Best yet they are
hundreds of dollars less than my old "orange" hepa units. Try one and
you'll be sold. I have ten to date.

I got this vacuum to replace a Rigid vac. Wow. What a difference. I
didn't know what I was missing til I got this. It is powerful and super
quiet. The best shop vac I've ever seen or owned. I had heard from a
friend who had one of these vacuums for 16 years how nice they are.
And it lives up to my expectations. Now my wife is using it to clean
in the house.

challenging work environment and the equipment performed superbly. We
could not be more pleased." James W., General Manager, Curtainwall Services Inc, Illinois
