Overview

The Secondary Filter #SF-I1 is a replacement filter designed for the Simplicity Jack HiFlow vacuum. It enhances the overall filtration system by providing an extra layer of defense against small particles, ensuring cleaner air during operation.

The Simplicity Jack HiFlow vacuum is a high-performance machine aimed at both residential and commercial use. It is designed to deliver powerful suction while maintaining high air quality through its advanced filtration systems.

Key Features

1. HEPA Filtration: The HiFlow vacuum includes a True HEPA filter, which is capable of trapping 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. This is a significant advantage for homes or spaces where allergens like dust, pet dander, and pollen are a concern.

2. Enhanced Suction Power: The HiFlow motor system offers consistent suction, ensuring dirt, dust, and debris are efficiently picked up from a variety of surfaces, including carpets, hardwood floors, and tile.

3. Multi-Layer Filtration System: In addition to the HEPA filter, it features a secondary filter (SF-I1) that enhances dust retention, keeping the air cleaner while the vacuum operates. This dual-layer filtration system is ideal for homes with asthma or allergy sufferers.

4. Lightweight Design: Weighing in at approximately 9 pounds, the Simplicity Jack HiFlow is designed to be maneuverable and easy to carry. This makes it a great choice for quick cleaning sessions in homes of varying sizes.

5. Bagged System: The vacuum uses a bagged system, which can be a plus for users who prefer this style for ease of disposal and hygienic reasons. The bags are large and capable of holding a significant amount of debris before needing replacement.

6. Quiet Operation: Despite its strong suction, the HiFlow vacuum operates relatively quietly, which is an essential feature for households with young children, pets, or anyone sensitive to noise.

7. Long Cord Length: It comes with a 35-foot power cord, giving you excellent reach without constantly needing to plug and unplug, making it ideal for larger homes or spaces.

8. Improved Air Quality: The SF-I1 secondary filter works in tandem with the HEPA filter to trap smaller particles that may not be captured by the primary HEPA filter alone, helping to reduce allergens in your home.
9. Long-Lasting Performance: The SF-I1 filter is durable and designed to last for many cycles, depending on the frequency of use. However, it's important to check it regularly and replace it when it shows signs of wear or clogging to maintain optimal performance.
10. Easy Replacement: Replacing the secondary filter is a simple task that can be done without tools. A quick change helps keep the vacuum's performance at its peak, ensuring the machine works efficiently.
