This is an Electrolux foam filter designed for wet and dry vacuum cleaners. Its part number is 13061 - 000, similar to Qualtex part FIL116. It fits a wide range of Electrolux models like Z55 (Aqualux 1000), Z65 (Twinstream), Z76, Z78 (Masterlux), Z85 (Three - in - one) and their corresponding Volta models U55 (Aquaclean), C65, U65 (Three - in - one), U76, U78 (Trio) and U85 (Three - in - one), also U505. It might also fit other similar machines such as Aquavac, Pullman, Karcher. This foam filter bag works with a cloth or paper filter. It stops dirt from getting into the motor when the canister is used as a dust collector instead of a disposable bag. Usually, it's held in place by a large rubber band. The filter measures 20cm high and 20cm wide when folded flat, with an opening of 125mm in diameter when unstretched. With over 25 years of experience in supplying appliance parts to both trade and retail, you can buy with confidence.
Using this foam filter is easy. First, make sure your vacuum cleaner is turned off and unplugged. Then, locate the filter compartment in your wet and dry vacuum cleaner. Take out the old filter if there is one. Place this new foam filter in the compartment and secure it with the large rubber band. When using the vacuum cleaner, this filter will work together with your cloth or paper filter to keep dirt away from the motor. As for maintenance, regularly check the filter for dirt and debris. If it looks dirty, you can gently wash it with mild soap and water. Let it dry completely before putting it back in the vacuum cleaner. Keep in mind that although it may fit many similar machines, always double - check the compatibility with your specific model before use.
