Meet EPA guidelines for lead paint . . . → Read More: EPA Approved HEPA Vacuum by Dustless Technologies]]>
Be sure yor HEPA Wet/Dry vacuum is certified! Some companies claim to have a HEPA vacuum, but are they certified?  Don’t take a chance on being shut down by OSHA or the EPA, to say nothing about the steep fines the EPA can impose. Dustless Technologies uses a certified HEPA filter.

Meet EPA guidelines for lead paint removal in renovation projects. The Dustless HEPA vacuum is ideal for renovation contractors who have to comply with EPA regulations governing the safe removal of lead paint. The EPA specifies the use of a carpet head with a beater bar so be sure to order the optional HEPA Head™ carpet head. Its beater bar is powered by the air flow of the vacuum.

A big advantage of The Dustless HEPA wet/dry vacuum is the Micro Per-filter . The Micro Pre-filter is inexpensive and will extend the life of the more expensive HEPA filter because it captures particles down to .5 microns before they even reach the HEPA filter. Larger dust particles and debris are kept away form the HEPA filter leaving it to filter only particles form .5 to .3 microns.

You can also switch between wet and dry operation without getting the HEPA filter wet. A protective baffle wall inside the canister will always keep the HEPA filter dry. The Micro Pre-filter (bag) stays strong even when wet.

Filter replacement intervals:

The HEPA filter’s life can be greatly extended with the use of a Micro Pre-filter. The Micro Pre-filter captures particles down to .5 micron, meaning that it captures 99% of the dust, leaving only the smallest particles for the HEPA filter. How often you change it is a factor of how often you use a Micro Pre-filter with it, and how often you use it. Change it whenever you can see a distinct visible color change of the white folded filter material inside the cartridge.

The HEPA cover filter also captures dust down to .5 micron, providing a second layer of very effective filtration to protect, and extend the life of the HEPA filter. This filter should be replaced when it changes color and no longer looks white.

The Micro Pre-filter is capable of holding MORE than 40 LB of fine dust, but the vacuum is designed to be emptied at 40 lbs. so that at least half of the filter bag’s surface area is always free to support the high airflow rates required for effective dust control. The Micro Pre-filter should be replaced whenever the vacuum collects 40 lbs. of dust, or when it appears to be half full. It should be replaced after being used for Wet vacuuming so the interior of the vacuum does not become moldy. It does retain its strength when wet, so it is not imperative to do it right away.
