Choosing the right filter
The airflow of your vacuum cleaner is the most important factor in determining which cyclone filter is suitable for your vacuum cleaner. The manual of your vacuum cleaner will show the airflow with one of the following indications:
- number of liters air per second;
- number of liters air per minute;
- number of m3 air per hour.
This airflow value must be between the minimum airflow rate and the maximum airflow rate of a filter. Below is an overview of the minimum airflow that each filter requires and the maximum airflow that each can handle:

Example: the Bosch AdvanceVac 20 vacuum cleaner can transport 70 liters of air per second. Cyclone filter model 3 is therefore the best choice for this vacuum cleaner.
Cyclone filter model 3 is suitable for 99% of all (construction) vacuum cleaners. Only very powerful, multi-motor vacuum cleaners and central extraction systems need a larger filter, such as our cyclone filter model L and model XL.
Not sure how many liters of air your vacuum cleaner can transport? Then you can also check the inner diameter of the vacuum cleaner hose. If it has an inner diameter between 27mm and 50mm, then the cyclone filter model 3 is suitable in most cases.
