Choosing Beam Vacuum Filters: 11-Inch or 14-Inch

Beam's Gore-Tex filter is a membrane filter: dust collects on the smooth surface instead of embedding in the media, so most of it drops into the canister on its own. That is why it is called self-cleaning — but it is not permanent. Over years of use, fine dust and moisture can blind the membrane and airflow suffers.

TDFILTGORE14 — 14-inch Gore-Tex self-cleaning filter for power units that take the larger filter.
TDFILTGORE11 — 11-inch Gore-Tex self-cleaning filter for units that take the smaller filter.

Measure your existing filter or check the Compatible Models list on each product. The model number is on the label on the power unit.

Signs your Beam filter needs attention

Weak suction at every wall inlet, a power unit that sounds strained, or dust in the exhaust are the usual signs. First empty the canister and gently tap or brush the filter. If suction does not return, replace it. Using a Beam vacuum bag in units designed for one keeps most fine dust off the filter and extends its life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which size Beam filter do I need?

Beam Gore-Tex self-cleaning filters come in 14-inch (TDFILTGORE14) and 11-inch (TDFILTGORE11) sizes. Measure your current filter or check the Compatible Models list on each product.

Does a self-cleaning filter ever need replacing?

Yes. The Gore-Tex membrane sheds most dust on its own, but fine dust and moisture eventually blind it. Replace it when cleaning no longer restores suction.

Can I wash a Beam Gore-Tex filter?

Gently tapping or brushing the filter is the usual cleaning method. Check your owner's manual before rinsing, and never reinstall a damp filter.

Should I use a bag with my Beam power unit?

If your unit is designed for a bag, yes. The bag catches fine dust before it reaches the filter and makes emptying cleaner.
