Discover Our Selection of Vacuum Filters


Vacuum filters are an essential component of your vacuum. They are responsible for keeping the air that is expelled from your vacuum clean. There can be both an inner filter and an outer filter. The inner filter protects the vacuum motor from dirt and debris keeping the suction powerfult. The outer filter prevents dust, allergens, and other particles from being released back into the air in your home. At VacWorks, we offer a wide selection of vacuum filters. Our selection includes filters for a variety of vacuum models, including central vacuums and canister vacuums.

Why Choosing the Right Vacuum Filter Matters

When it comes to vacuum filters, not all filters are created equal. The quality of the filter that you choose for your vacuum can have a significant impact on the air quality in your home and the performance of your vacuum.

Increase Your Vacuum's Efficiency

Choosing the right filter for your vacuum is essential to ensuring that your vacuum continues to perform at its best. A high-quality filter will help to maintain your vacuum's suction power, allowing it to effectively remove dirt and debris from your floors.

Without a filter, the dust and dirt that is picked up by your vacuum would be spread back into the air of the room you are vacuuming. This would lead to odours and other health issues. Using a vacuum bag would catch over 98% of all dust particles, but a filter is still recommended.

Extend the Life of Your Vacuum

Not only do vacuum filters help to keep the air in your home clean, but they also help to keep your vacuum clean. By preventing dust and dirt from entering the internal components of your vacuum, the inner filter helps extend your vacuum's life.

For this reason, it is important to choose a high-quality filter for your vacuum. By choosing a filter that is capable of capturing more particles, you can reduce the amount of dust and dirt that enters the internal components of your vacuum.

Carbon Dust Filter

Carbon dust filters are commonly used in central vacuum systems. They are a basic filter that is included with some central vacuum systems. Carbon dust filters are a great option for vacuum owners who want to prevent black carbon dust from leaking into the air. Carbon dust is in every electric vacuum motor so having a carbon capture filter is recommended. You can find that feature on all Chameleon Central vacuum systems, and some Cyclovac Systems.
