Dirt Devil Cartridge Filter

No, this is a disposable pleated cartridge filter. It is designed to be replaced once it becomes clogged or dirty to ensure your vacuum maintains proper airflow and filtration efficiency.

This 7-inch filter is specifically designed for Dirt Devil Pro Series, Platinum Force, and various CV series central vacuum systems. You should verify your vacuum's model number against the part number 8106-01 to ensure compatibility before purchasing.

The pleated design increases the surface area of the filter, allowing it to capture more dust and debris while maintaining better airflow than flat filters. This helps your central vacuum system operate more efficiently and keeps your indoor air cleaner.

While replacement frequency depends on your home's size and usage, a general rule of thumb is to inspect the filter every few months. If the pleats are heavily coated with dust or if you notice a decrease in suction power, it is time to install a new one.

No, this filter is designed for easy, tool-free installation. You should be able to remove the old filter and seat the new one into your central vacuum canister by hand.
