It looks like my old Silver King AD could really use this filter. Mention has been made of them here before. I had the motor out to work on a problem, and it was awfully nasty in there.

Speaking not of the main filter, the large disc, but something up around the motor itself. "Safety filter"?

So - where does it go exactly, and what does it consist of? Silver-King people? Tania?

Thanks,
Steve

Actually...

There were two filters, a white ring and a yellow ring,that were used above the flat disc, but if you have the large pan , take off the rubber inlet deflector and use a Fairfax bag , if it is a small pan, use a Kenmore bag, thats what I use instead of just the flat disc filter as they plug up fairly quickly.

Thanks, Kenkart. The Kenmore bag is the smaller one, then? (I have a small pan.) The Kenmore bag is square, yes?

thanks again,
Steve

Yes..

Square bag with a rubber or vinyl gasket.

Just wondering, is the Kenmore bag you refer to the Kenmore 5033 bags?I believe I have heard of Miele bags being used in Fairfax canisters recently, either on here or one of the Facebook groups, so this doesn't surprise me to use this sort of modification. And when you remove the rubber deflector, do you need to install a tube or anything to mount the bag on?? I have always been curious about obtaining a Silver King or Fairfax, they look so heavy-duty & powerful....

Steve: If Hans replies back here saying the Kenmore bag he is referring to is indeed the 5033 style bag, DO NOT go to your local vac shop or to Sears to buy the bags! Those bags, as well as generic vac shop brand bags, are only paper bags with no liner for filtration. However, if you go to Wal-Mart, they do carry the Arm & Hammer Kenmore Style E, 5023 & 5033 bags, & these are paper Micro-Filtration bags. The collar is identical to the genuine Kenmore bags, with the rubber gasket. They sell them for $5.63 for a 3-pack, so reasonable cost too, & I'm sure you would appreciate the added filtration they would offer.

"Silver King Filters"

Yes, there are two filters around the motor and Kenmore #5011 bags work well also.
Silver King International makes a New Spum Polyprobalene Filter that filters so much better than the old ones. This vacuum works so well compared to "SHOP VAC".
You can order those filters from "Silver King International" in Colorado Springs,CO.

Happy Vacuuming!
