ARE THESE REUSABLE ?

Because they're synthetic, and not paper, i have a doubt that they are reusable, are they ? if so; when they get full i just empty them and refit a new bag? is there a limit to how long i can do this with one bag ?

    Re Jan Silins comment: Although you may be able to extend the 'amount' the bag can contain by increasing the density and effectively reducing the area of air flow more fine particles will escape the filtering and reduce the motor cooling so we would only suggest you use his method while awaiting your new bags.

  • What you can do I discovered is when the bag gets full, you can easily push the contents towards the end away from the inlet nozzle by pressing on the bag. I have even removed the bag, held it upright and squashed it down, when expanded all the contents have gone to the end, and in this way the bag is effectively "empty" around the inlet and suction is back in full force. You could not do this with a paper bag, it would simply rip, these bags are really strong so you can get several "paper bag's" worth from just one of these HepaFlow ones.

    Unless they say on the bag or packaging it must be assumed that these are not reusable.
