EnviroCare Riccar Hepa Filter

This filter is designed to fit Riccar 1800 and 1700 series canister vacuums, as well as Simplicity full-size vacuum models.

A HEPA filter is engineered to capture microscopic particles like dust, pollen, and pet dander that standard filters often miss. Using one significantly improves your indoor air quality by preventing these irritants from being exhausted back into your home.

Over time, filters become clogged with debris, which restricts airflow and forces the vacuum motor to work harder. Replacing your filter restores proper suction power and helps maintain the overall efficiency and longevity of your machine.

This is a disposable HEPA filter designed for replacement rather than cleaning. Washing a HEPA filter can damage the delicate fibers responsible for trapping microscopic particles, so it is best to swap it out for a fresh one to ensure maximum filtration.

While replacement frequency depends on your usage and home environment, a general rule of thumb is to replace the filter every 6 to 12 months. If you notice a decrease in suction or if you have pets and allergies, you may want to change it more frequently.
