Eureka Vacuum Filter

Maintain The Quality of Your Air With A Eureka Vacuum Filter

It may not be entirely obvious by looking at it but your Eureka vacuum filter plays a big part in the cleaning performance of the machine and the pureness of the air in your home.



It is therefore worth spending a bit of time working out how and when to carry out routine maintenance as well as emergency replacement.

The first thing you should know is that Eureka vacuums, like all cleaners, use a filter to ensure that the dust stays in the machine and that clean air passes through it into your home. If a lot of dust is coming out of your vacuum cleaner then either the bag has a problem or it is time to replace or wash the filter, depending upon the model. Another aspect of the work which a vacuum filter does is that it maintains the air inside the machine as clean as dirt free as possible, to avoid the machine getting clogged up.

A top of the range filtration system, such as the HEPA one, traps almost 100% of particles, down to the miniscule items which are 75 times smaller than a human hair. If anyone in your house suffers from allergies then you should give careful consideration to choosing a model which offers one of these powerful filtration systems.

How often you should have to look for a replacement filter largely depends upon the type of cleaner which you have, as different models have varying maintenance schedules. Whether you own a canister machine or a model with a bag there are two ways to keep track of this.

Firstly, you can check your owner’s manual. Here you will find full details of when and how to replace any vacuum parts which need to periodically reviewed. If you don’t have a great memory, or simply have a lot of things on your plate, then you can choose to register for the Eureka Dirt Alert program on their website. Entering the details of your machine on their site means that you will automatically be sent reminders whenever any parts are due to be replaced.

If your model uses the Micron Filtration system then the filter is part of the bag, meaning that no filter change is ever necessary provided that you change the bag when needed. Vacuum cleaners which use standard HEPA filters should have their filter replaced roughly twice a year in order to maintain the efficiency of the system.

If your cleaner comes with washable HEPA filters then you should look to clean them every two months. Always make sure that the washable filter has dried completely before re-inserting it in the machine.

When it come times to buy replacement filters then, as with all vacuum accessories, you should buy the proper, branded part to ensure a smooth, efficient performance. Your new Eureka vacuum filter should be easy to locate and fit to your machine. Now that you know the importance of their function you will hopefully give the purchase the consideration that it deserves.
