Powr-Flite Wet/Dry Vacuum Cloth Filter with Gasket WD3

The Wet/Dry Vacuum Cloth Filter with Gasket (part# WD3) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement filter for Powr-Flite PF-series wet/dry recovery vacuums. This washable permanent cloth filter bag with a sealing gasket is the primary dry-pickup filter in the machine’s two-stage filtration system — it traps fine dust and debris before the air reaches the motor, then lifts out for wet recovery.

Compatible Models for the WD3 Cloth Filter

The WD3 pairs with the pleated paper cartridge to give the PF-series its two-stage filtration: the cloth bag captures larger debris and protects the paper cartridge, keeping suction strong and dust out of the exhaust. Replace the WD3 when the cloth is torn, permanently clogged, or no longer seals at the gasket — symptoms include reduced suction that does not recover after emptying the tank, or fine dust blowing out of the exhaust during dry pickup. The filter is washable: rinse and fully dry it between uses to extend its life, and remove it entirely for wet spill recovery. Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Powr-Flite equipment since 1956, and stocks the WD3 along with the full PF-series wet/dry lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the WD3 cloth filter do on a Powr-Flite wet/dry vacuum?

The WD3 (part# WD3) is the washable permanent cloth filter bag in the two-stage filtration system. During dry pickup it traps fine dust and debris and protects the pleated paper cartridge; for wet recovery you remove it so the machine can vacuum liquids.

How do I know if my WD3 filter needs replacing?

Replace the WD3 when suction stays weak even after you empty the recovery tank, when fine dust blows out of the exhaust during dry vacuuming, or when the cloth is torn or the gasket no longer seals. Washing and fully drying the filter between uses helps it last longer.

The WD3 cloth filter with gasket fits the Powr-Flite PF53, PF54, PF55, PF56, and PF57 wet/dry recovery vacuums (and the PF58). Call us at 763-535-0770 if you would like us to confirm the filter for your specific machine.
