The Smilefil Round 6QT Reusable Micro Cloth Filter is an aftermarket replacement filter engineered specifically for ProTeam 6-quart round canister and backpack vacuum systems. Designed to replace OEM Part #100564, this filter provides a cost-effective solution for janitorial staff, facility managers, and residential users who want consistent vacuum performance without continuously purchasing disposable paper liners.
In terms of performance, this cloth filter excels at maintaining steady airflow while trapping fine dust, pollen, and debris down to one micron in size. Its 6.1-inch by 12.2-inch profile fits directly into popular commercial units such as the Super QuarterVac, ProVac, TailVac, and QuietPro BP. The quick drop-in setup allows operators to service their equipment in under five minutes, keeping vacuum maintenance swift and straightforward.
Build quality is highlighted by durable, dense micro-cloth fabric with reinforced seams designed to withstand routine cleaning. Maintenance is simple since the bag can be washed by hand or run through a gentle washing machine cycle. However, users should always ensure the filter is completely air-dried before putting it back into service to prevent moisture from entering the vacuum motor.
While the filter fits securely in most compatible units, some users have noted that the top rubber gasket is slightly thinner than the original factory gasket, which may require careful alignment during cover latching. Overall, the Smilefil Reusable Cloth Filter provides exceptional value, delivering dependable secondary filtration and significant long-term savings for commercial and residential ProTeam vacuum owners.
