About HEPA and what it means

First of all a little bit about these bags.  HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air.  This basically means that these bags are capable of trapping large amounts of very small particles which other vacuum cleaner bags would simply recirculate back in to the air of your home or office.  These particles are particularly problematic for allergy sufferers and others with skin or respiratory issues, so using HEPA flow bags will help significantly if you, your family or work colleagues are do suffer from allergy’s.  What you shouldn’t do is wait until your bags are full before changing them, this puts unnecessary strain on the suction motor and is liable to reduce its life over time.
