## Frequently Asked Questions

**Does this unit require a dust bag?**  
Yes — a dust bag and cage filter are required to maintain optimal suction and keep the warranty valid. Operating without them will void the warranty.

**What is SilverClear™ technology?**  
It's an antibacterial treatment applied to the permanent SMS filter that neutralizes bacteria and odors at the source, rather than just trapping them. The filter does not need to be replaced.

**What is the Activac 3 Exhaust Filter and do I need it?**  
It's an optional exhaust filter that provides an additional layer of air filtration at the unit's output. Recommended for households with allergy sufferers — replace every 1–2 years.

**Is this unit made in Canada?**  
Yes. Drainvac is a Canadian brand and the Generation 2 is built with impact-resistant materials designed for long-term residential use.
