  Depending on usage and conditions, the HEPA filter lasts 3 to 6 months; 

  however, vacuuming large amounts of extremely fine dust, powder or similar 

  material over a long period of time may decrease airflow performance through 

  the filter. If  this occurs,  it may  become necessary  to replace  the HEPA

  Filter.  Only use  genuine FANTOM  replacement filters.
