This filter is designed specifically for models SD12515RM, SD12524PC, SD12522, SD12515B, SD12520, SD12515, and SD12515CD. You can verify your model number on the rating label, typically found on the back or bottom of your vacuum unit.

While foam filters can often be rinsed to remove surface dust, they eventually degrade and lose their ability to trap fine particles. Replacing the filter assembly ensures your vacuum maintains its original suction power and filtration efficiency.

For optimal performance, it is generally recommended to replace your foam filter every 3 to 6 months, depending on how frequently you vacuum and the amount of debris in your home. If you notice a drop in suction or a persistent odor, it is likely time for a fresh filter.

This is a complete primary filter assembly, which includes the necessary foam element. It is designed as a direct, drop-in replacement for your existing filter housing.
