Washable Foam Secondary Filter B222-0500

The Washable Foam Secondary Filter (part# B222-0500) is a genuine Tacony OEM motor-protection filter that sits between the bag and the motor. This reusable foam layer catches debris that escapes the bag before it can reach and damage the motor.

Compatible Models for the Washable Foam Secondary Filter B222-0500

This is a genuine Tacony OEM filter shared across multiple brands and models:

• Powr-Flite: Powr-Flite Rigel Pro Upright — PV100-W14-U, Powr-Flite Rigel Deluxe Upright — PV130-W14-U
• Riccar: 4000-series and compatible upright vacuums that use the B222-0500 secondary filter — call to confirm your model

The secondary filter is the motor’s last line of defense. If it is missing, torn, or packed with dust, fine grit reaches the motor and shortens its life. Because this foam filter is washable, rinse it in cool water, let it dry completely, and reinstall it — but replace it when it tears, stays discolored after washing, or loses its spring, since a broken-down filter no longer protects the motor.

Keep a spare on hand so the machine is never run without a secondary filter while one dries. Twin City Vacuum has sold and serviced Powr-Flite and Riccar equipment since 1956. Manufacturer detail: powr-flite.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the B222-0500 washable secondary filter do?

It is the foam motor-protection filter between the bag and the motor, catching debris that escapes the bag before it can reach the motor. It fits the Powr-Flite Rigel Pro and Rigel Deluxe uprights and Riccar 4000-series uprights.

Is the B222-0500 filter washable, and how do I clean it?

Yes — rinse it in cool water, let it dry completely, and reinstall it. Never run the machine without a secondary filter while one dries, so keep a spare on hand. Replace it when it tears, stays discolored after washing, or loses its spring.

How do I know when my secondary filter needs replacing?

Replace the B222-0500 when it is torn, stays discolored after washing, or has lost its foam spring. A broken-down secondary filter lets grit reach the motor and shortens its life, so inspect it each time you change the bag.
