What to Look For

  • Primary and secondary filter stages for reliable blower protection
  • Filter media type and micron rating for the materials you excavate
  • Ease of cleaning or replacement in the field without special tools
  • Dust emission compliance with EPA and local air quality regulations

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should hydrovac filters be changed?

Primary filters should be inspected daily and cleaned or replaced as needed. Secondary (safety) filters are typically replaced every 500-1,000 operating hours.

What happens if a filter fails on a hydrovac?

A failed filter allows debris into the blower, causing rapid wear or catastrophic failure. A single blower replacement can cost $15,000-$30,000, making filter maintenance critical.
