Good to know
- A loaded filter does not announce itself. The vacuum sounds identical and simply captures less, which shows up as dust escaping at the shroud.
- Pulse cleaning extends filter life, it does not make filters permanent. Abrasive concrete fines eventually blind the media.
- A filter that has been soaked, torn, or run with a bad seal gets replaced, not cleaned.
- Keep one spare per machine. This is the part that fails the morning of a job.
- Confirm your Pulse-Bac model number before ordering. This filter is listed for models 1000 and 2000.
About the Pulse-bac Filter - 311
This is the replacement filter for Pulse-Bac vacuums, compatible with Pulse-Bac vacuum models 1000 and 2000. Filters are the consumable that most directly controls whether a dust extractor is doing its job. A vacuum with a loaded or damaged filter still runs, still sounds normal, and still moves far less air than it did new, which shows up on the floor as dust escaping at the shroud.
Pulse-Bac's pulse cleaning is designed to knock accumulated dust off the filter during operation, and it extends filter life considerably compared to a vacuum you have to shut down and clean by hand. It does not make the filter permanent. Concrete fines are abrasive and eventually blind the media, and any filter that has been soaked, torn, or run with a bad seal needs replacing rather than cleaning.
Keep a spare on the shelf. This is the part that fails on the morning of a job, and there is no substitute for it in a truck box. Contractors running grinding daily typically stock one spare filter per machine and change on a schedule rather than waiting for the symptom.
Before ordering, confirm your vacuum model. This filter is listed as compatible with Pulse-Bac models 1000 and 2000, and Pulse-Bac has built other vacuum lines that use different filters. If you are running a different Pulse-Bac model, or you are not certain which generation you own, call 817-676-6793 with the model and serial number and we will match the correct filter.
What it is used for
- Restoring airflow on a Pulse-Bac 1000 or 2000 that has lost suction
- Scheduled filter replacement on a daily-use dust extractor
- Truck spare so a blinded filter does not stop a job
- Refurbishing a used Pulse-Bac vacuum before it returns to service
Questions about this product
Which Pulse-Bac vacuums does this filter fit?
This Pulse-Bac replacement filter is compatible with Pulse-Bac vacuum models 1000 and 2000, so check the model number on your machine before ordering, because Pulse-Bac has produced other vacuum lines that use different filters. Call 817-676-6793 with your model and serial number if you are unsure.
How often should a Pulse-Bac filter be replaced?
There is no fixed replacement interval for a Pulse-Bac filter, because life depends on how much abrasive concrete dust it processes, but replace it whenever airflow at the tool has dropped, or when the filter is torn, soaked or visibly blinded. Crews grinding daily usually keep a spare per machine.
Does the pulse cleaning system mean I never change the filter?
Pulse cleaning does not mean you never change the filter, because while Pulse-Bac's system knocks accumulated dust off the media during operation and greatly extends filter life compared with vacuums you shut down and clean by hand, abrasive concrete fines eventually blind the media permanently.
How does a worn filter affect silica dust control?
A loaded or damaged filter reduces the airflow a dust extractor can pull, and lower airflow at the shroud means more dust escapes at the tool where it is generated. Filter condition is one part of a dust control system that also includes shroud fit, hose condition and work practices.
Can I wash a Pulse-Bac filter instead of replacing it?
Washing a dust extractor filter is generally a bad idea on concrete work, because wet fines set inside the media and a filter that has been soaked rarely returns to its original airflow. Replace a blinded, torn or wet filter rather than trying to recover it.
