The Hyla only uses water as a filter. Because water filtration vacuums force the evaporation of the water in their basin very quickly (about 2 pints per hour), the dirt in the pan is also forced to evaporate and ends up in the motor's suction fans. What you'll need to do is remove the separator, and clean it. Remove the motor (start be removing the handle decal that says "hyla", the screws for the top cover are underneath), and remove the fan and wash that. When reassembled, use fabric softener (a few drops) in the water, and the returning air stream will smell like wash day, not like dogs.

Comes to the Rescue!
but I still can't figure out the manufacture date-160409. I am pretty sure that would be April 16, 2009. I heard that this vacuum was designed by someone who worked for Rainbow, but got mad at them, and went to Germany and designed another vacuum. Is this true?
