If you have a vacuum cleaner that uses HEPA
technology, you surely know that the HEPA filter is an important component of
your unit the condition of which is essential for your machine’s ability to
remove not only dirt, but even the tiniest allergens from your rooms. Like any
filter, HEPA filters also need to be regularly replaced – here is how to figure
out when the replacement cannot be postponed any longer:
-
Standard, residential usage –
when used in standard residential settings, such as homes that are exposed to
average soiling, the HEPA filter in a vacuum used about twice a week can last
for around 2-3 years;
-
Heavy-duty usage – the more
particles the filter is exposed to, the shorter its lifespan, so in the case of
vacuums that are used every day in the home or that are used in commercial
environments that get lots of foot traffic and are exposed to heavier soiling,
the HEPA filter needs to be replaced every six months;
-
Other signs that replacement
is necessary – if the vacuum cleaner starts emanating a foul, musty smell, the
issue is probably caused by a clogged HEPA filter, so the component needs to be
replaced even if it has not reached the end of its forecasted lifespan. Find great vacuum repairs and replacement parts at https://www.arvadavacuum.com/.
