DC question(s)...

[Brian Greb]

1. How many times can I wash my DC bags.

2. Would it be worth it to up-grade to an upper canister? ...can I up grade?(delta 1hp DC)

3. Can you soop up a 1hp DC... is it worth it if you can?

...or should I start saving my pennys to get a new DC with a 1 micron bag and more power?

I do not believe you should wash the DC bags. Does the manufacturer advise cleaning ? Normally, they only suggest empty the bag, then turn inside out and dust it off.

Canister is absolutely worth every penny. With bags, everytime you empty the bag, you do take a "dust-bath". It is almost impossible not to get any dust on you. With canister, you will never touch or inhale the dust because it directly gets collected in plastic bag which you simply remove, seal and put out for garbage pickup.

I believe, the upgrade is possible. Just replace the bag with canister that will fit the rim.
