Function of the Foam Filter

The Cleva 551081109 Foam Filter helps to:

• Filter liquids during wet vacuuming
• Protect the vacuum motor from moisture and debris
• Maintain proper airflow during wet pickup
• Improve vacuum performance

Replace the foam filter if you notice:

Important: This foam filter is designed for wet pickup only. Remove or replace it with the appropriate dry-use filter before vacuuming dry debris. Always verify compatibility with your vacuum model before purchasing or installation.
