Product Description

Polivac Wombat Outer Cloth Bag (Elastic) – Reusable Vacuum Filter Bag (PW002)

Ensure the ultimate line of defense for your commercial vacuum motor with the highly critical Polivac Wombat Outer Cloth Bag (PW002). The Polivac Wombat backpack utilizes a highly advanced, multi-stage filtration system. While the inner wire bag catches the heavy rubble, this specialized reusable vacuum filter bag slips over the internal motor cage, acting as the crucial secondary filtration layer. It captures the ultra-fine, microscopic dust particles that manage to bypass the primary bag. If this outer bag is missing, torn, or completely clogged, fine dust will be sucked directly into the high-speed motor, causing it to overheat, grind, and eventually suffer catastrophic failure.

Designed exclusively for the legendary Polivac Wombat commercial backpack, this commercial vacuum bag is manufactured from premium, high-density cloth fabric. To guarantee a perfect, airtight seal around the motor housing, it features a heavy-duty elasticated collar. This allows the operator to quickly and easily stretch the bag over the internal filter cage without wrestling with clips or screws. Highly cost-effective and fully washable, the PW002 Outer Bag is a mandatory maintenance component for professional janitors and appliance repair technicians looking to drastically extend the lifespan of their expensive Polivac cleaning equipment.

Who Is This Polivac Outer Cloth Bag Ideal For?

The PW002 Outer Bag delivers crucial secondary filtration and elasticated fitment. It is highly recommended for:

Commercial Cleaning Contractors: Drastically cutting equipment replacement costs by utilizing a highly durable, reusable vacuum filter bag to protect their Polivac Wombat fleet's motors from devastating fine dust infiltration.
Construction & Tradespeople: Relying on this dense secondary cloth fabric to safely catch highly abrasive, microscopic plaster and silica dust before it can reach the electrical turbine.
School & Facility Janitors: Keeping a spare, clean outer cloth bag on hand so they can rapidly swap the secondary filter during a busy shift, ensuring the vacuum always operates at peak suction performance.
Appliance Repair Technicians: Sourcing highly reliable, exact-fit commercial vacuum bags to professionally refurbish clients' Polivac Wombat backpacks, ensuring the motors are fully protected before returning them to service.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

Critical Motor Protection: Acts as the vital secondary filter. It captures the highly abrasive, microscopic dust that escapes the primary inner bag, completely preventing it from entering and destroying the electrical motor.
Heavy-Duty Elastic Collar: Features a strong, elasticated band sewn into the opening. This allows the bag to stretch easily over the vacuum's internal filter cage, snapping back tight to create a 100% airtight seal.
Washable & Hygienic: When the microscopic pores of the cloth become caked with fine dust, you can simply hand-wash the bag in warm water, air-dry it, and restore it to brand-new filtration condition.
High-Density Cloth Fabric: Manufactured from premium, thick cloth designed to allow maximum airflow for strong suction while trapping exceptionally fine particulate matter.
Exact Drop-In Fitment: Precision-engineered as a flawless, direct replacement specifically for the Polivac Wombat commercial backpack vacuum cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 'Outer' and 'Inner' bag on the Polivac Wombat?

The 'Inner' bag (PW001) has a wire frame and sits at the top to catch the heavy, bulky dirt. This 'Outer' bag (PW002) has an elastic band and stretches tightly over the plastic dome cage sitting over the motor. It acts as a secondary fine-dust filter to protect the engine.

Can I run the vacuum without this outer bag?

Absolutely NOT. If you remove this outer bag, fine dust will bypass the primary filter and get sucked directly into the high-speed motor. This will cause the motor bearings to grind and the engine to burn out very quickly.

How does this bag attach to the vacuum?

It features a heavy-duty elastic band around the opening. You simply stretch the elastic opening over the plastic dome (the filter cage) that covers the motor at the bottom of the vacuum canister.

Will this fit my Pacvac Superpro 700 backpack vacuum?

No. The Pacvac Superpro uses a completely different filtration system. This specific PW002 elastic bag is engineered explicitly for the internal dimensions of the Polivac Wombat.

Can I wash this cloth bag?

Yes, absolutely. Because it is a secondary filter, it collects incredibly fine, talcum-powder-like dust. You should regularly hand-wash the bag in warm water. You MUST let it air-dry completely before putting it back in the vacuum.

Will washing this fix my vacuum if it has lost suction?

Yes! If your vacuum has lost suction, the most common cause is this secondary outer bag becoming completely 'caked' and blocked with fine dust, acting like a brick wall. Washing it will restore perfect airflow and suction.

How often should I wash or replace this bag?

For commercial cleaners, you should take this bag out and gently beat the dust out of it every single day. You should wash it once a month, and replace it entirely every 6 to 12 months when the fabric becomes permanently degraded.

Does the dirt go directly into this bag?

No. The heavy dirt goes into the 'Inner' bag or a disposable paper bag. This 'Outer' bag only collects the microscopic dust that escapes the first bag.

Is the elastic strong enough to stay on?

Yes, the heavy-duty commercial elastic is specifically designed to grip the filter cage tightly, ensuring it does not slip off or leak air when the massive vacuum suction is applied.

Why does my vacuum smell bad?

If your vacuum smells like stale dust, this outer cloth bag has likely absorbed moisture and bacteria. Washing the cloth bag thoroughly with mild detergent will eliminate the foul odor.

Can I use this bag for wet vacuuming?

Absolutely NOT. Cloth bags are strictly for dry dust. Vacuuming water into a cloth bag will instantly turn the dust into thick mud, ruining the bag and permanently destroying your electrical vacuum motor.
