FAQ
What makes this vacuum suitable for biohazardous applications?
The C82917-00 is specifically designed for biohazardous dry material collection. Its U.L.P.A. (Ultra-Low Penetration Air) filter captures extremely fine hazardous particulates, and the sealed polyethylene tank system - combined with plastic encapsulation bags - allows for safe containment and disposal of collected waste without exposing the operator to hazardous materials.
Can this vacuum pick up liquids?
No - this is a dry-only vacuum. It is designed exclusively for the collection of dry biohazardous materials. Using it for liquid pickup would compromise its filtration system and is not recommended or supported by the manufacturer.
What is a U.L.P.A. filter, and how is it different from a HEPA filter?
U.L.P.A. stands for Ultra-Low Penetration Air. It is a more stringent filtration standard than HEPA, capturing a higher percentage of airborne particles at smaller sizes. While HEPA filters capture 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns, U.L.P.A. filters capture 99.999% of particles at 0.12 microns - making them the preferred choice for environments requiring maximum contamination control, such as labs and medical facilities.
Is assembly required before use?
The vacuum ships with all major components and accessories included. Some basic assembly - such as attaching the lid assembly to the tank and connecting the hose and tool attachments - will be required before first use. No specialized tools or technical expertise are needed for setup.
How will this vacuum be shipped?
Due to its size and weight, this unit typically ships via freight carrier. Delivery details may vary - please contact us at Omaha Sports and Games for specific shipping information and to confirm delivery arrangements for your location.
Are replacement filters and bags available?
Yes. Replacement U.L.P.A. filters, paper filter collection bags, paper filter protectors, pre-filter sleeves, and plastic encapsulation bags are all available as separate consumable items using the part numbers listed in the included accessories. Contact us for availability and pricing on replacement supplies.
