Do I need to use a collection bag?
There are many benefits to using a collection bag. It makes it easy to empty the tank and dispose of the debris. It also helps to keep the filter on the lid cage from becoming clogged and lessens how often you need to clean that filter. To answer the question, “do you need a collection bag?” - it depends on the vac you are using and the type of dry debris you are picking up.
- Vac with a cartridge filter or reusable dry filter: If you are picking up large to medium size debris, you do not need to use a collection bag. If you are picking up fine debris, you need to add a high efficiency filter bag or HEPA collection bag to trap the fine dust. Without the bag the fine dust will go through the filter and blow back into your room.
- Vac with a HEPA cartridge filter: You do not need a collection bag.
- Vac with a foam sleeve: Some of our smaller vacs come with a foam sleeve and a collection bag. For these vacs, you must use the collection bag with the foam sleeve.
- Specialty Vacs: Some specialty vacs require a collection bag and some do not. For these vacs, follow the instructions in the user manual that came with the vac.
