Properly sealed vacuum systems containing certified HEPA Filters
utilize advanced filtration technology that meets vacuuming
needs in highly specialized cleaning applications.
There are several factors to consider when evaluating
HEPA-vacuum specifications and applications:
True HEPA/ULPA filters
MUST
be used when an asbestos
or lead paint release has occurred and/or where mold
spores have contaminated a facility.
True HEPA filtration is
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
when the
intent is to clean up localized areas of potentially
hazardous particles.
Truly sealed HEPA and ULPA filtration vacuums
ARE
EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE
when used correctly to contain
hazardous airborne materials or when conditions
exist where particles could be extremely damaging
or catastrophic.
True HEPA/ULPA filters
SHOULD
be used in a sealed
environment where there is sensitive equipment in use.
An AFFORDABLE AND RECOMMENDED alternative
to HEPA/ULPA vacuums is to select a vacuum
with a multi-filter vacuum system
utilizing HEPA media.
Vacuums with HEPA media
maximize cleaning while
furnishing excellent filter performance.
