Choosing The Proper Commercial / Industrial HEPA Vacuum Cleaner

Compromised health and millions of dollars are wasted each year, by people that make the huge mistake by purchasing a domestic HEPA vacuum cleaner without even thinking of purchasing a commercial / industrial grade HEPA vacuum cleaner to do the proper job for their needs.

99% of domestic HEPA vacuum cleaners are not designed to hold up to commercial or industrial use. However people all too often purchase them to clean industrial and construction debris, chemical spills as well as do it yourself lead and asbestos abatement only to contaminate and poison themselves with the debris and chemicals they are trying to remove with their leaky unsealed HEPA vacuum cleaners! YES UNSEALED!

Just because a domestic / residential HEPA vacuum cleaner has a HEPA air filter in or on it, the great majority of these vacuum cleaner’s SPEW particles, allergens and dangerous chemicals including lead and asbestos back into the indoor air environment to be breathed by the person vacuuming and by everyone else in the area. This is because most of the HEPA filters are not properly sealed in the vacuum case and vacuum cleaner cases themselves are not sealed. When the air pressure from the motor pushes air through the vacuum cleaner the dirty contaminated air leaks from these vacuum cleaners often to contaminate the air, home or building worse then ever because the contaminates are being removed from the many different types of surfaces only to end up floating in peoples indoor breathing spaces! Since most domestic HEPA vacuum cleaners only use 1 ¼ diameter hose, the hose will often plug up with contaminated construction debris. When the user has to pull the hose apart to unclog the plug the debris often ends up blowing all over the place to be breathed by the people and pets in the area! Even the so called commercial Shop Vac’s with HEPA filters purchased at big box stores like Home Depot, Wal-Mart and LOWES have been found to leak contaminates back into the air while vacuuming!

You can do a simple test to see if your HEPA vacuum cleaner really is leaking contaminates back into the air. Just take your HEPA vacuum cleaner and put it into the direct sunlight coming through a window. Then turn on your dirt filled HEPA vacuum cleaner. If it’s leaking just a little bit you will be able to see thousands and thousands of particles blowing from your vacuum cleaner into your living space! However if you really want to see a proper test that professional’s use in the chemical, lead and asbestos abatement industries to test their vacuum cleaners and air cleaners for possible leaks, you will need to borrow or purchase a certified laser particle counter that is made to measure the exact amount of particles in the air or possibly leaking from a HEPA vacuum cleaner, HEPA air Cleaner or HEPA air purifier. A properly sealed HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner should show ZERO particles coming from around it’s HEPA filter and from around it’s case! Most people set these laser particle counters to test for particles to 99.97 efficiently down to .3 microns in size. The only domestic vacuum cleaner we have seen pass this test is the sturdy Air Storm HEPA vacuum cleaner made in the USA. However the Air Storm is designed with a 1 1/4 inch hose that is best for home and office cleaning environments while being not suitable for larger debris found in most abatement and construction vacuum cleaning projects!

The most well known brands of commercial / industrial HEPA vacuum cleaners are made by NIKRO, PULLMAN-HOLT and NILFISK. All of these HEPA vacuum cleaners are manufactured with different sized holding tanks and motors. Some are for dry materials only and some are wet-dry vacuum cleaners that will pick up dry or liquid materials. We prefer the wet-dry types because they will clean almost any type of loose contaminate wet or dry.

The most important features of these heavy duty commercial / industrial HEPA vacuum cleaners are they are 100 percent sealed to give their operators a zero laser particle test so absolutely zero contaminates are blown back into the air while vacuuming with them. These powerful brands of HEPA vacuum cleaners are also designed and able to vacuum larger sized contaminates with wide hoses 1 ½ to 2 inches in diameter. NOTE: Most of these vacuum cleaners are designed to clean dry particles into paper containment bags, which can be costly and they need to be replaced when full. Then the filled paper containment bags should be sealed into a thick Mil plastic Hazmat containment bag for disposal.

We like the NIKRO line of HEPA vacuum cleaners the best because you can vacuum without needing expensive paper containment bags. The NIKRO can suck dust, dirt and other contaminates directly into Hazmat thick Mil plastic contaminate bags that can then be sealed up and disposed of properly. Also NIKRO HEPA vacuum cleaners are made in the USA so customer service is fast and replacement parts are easy to get.

Cost: A top quality commercial / industrial grade HEPA vacuum cleaner to clean hazardous materials including 25’ of hose and all needed tools will typically cost between $1,100.00 and $1,600.00 depending on the tank size and motor configuration. This price is very reasonable considering that a Kirby, Electrolux or Tristar domestic vacuum cleaner will often cost twice that price!
