Thank you for your inquiry concerning our Ash Removal Systems. This is an innovative way of removing ashes from wood stoves, fireplaces and pellet stoves without getting dust in your home, as in the case with the conventional method of a shovel and bucket. The CHEETAH II and the COUGAR ash vacuums can safely store up to three gallons of ash at a time. The Cougar has a noise level of 82 decibels and the Cheetah II is rated at 93 decibels, making either one an attractive vacuum to have around the home. Both ash vac models are equipped with a fire resistant primary filter, a flexible metal hose and a 6 amp motor. The nozzle is restricted so that only ash and very small particles enter the unit. The ash does not go into a filter bag; it is contained in the steel and trapped on the outside of our filter. A feature that we feel is very important to understand with all our units, is that yu can clen the filters without taking the lid off. By removing the cleaning rod cover, which exposes a rod connected to a filter support basket, and shaking that rod from side to side, the ash is dislodged from the outside of the primary filter and falls to the bottom of the barrel. The secondary filter is mounted on springs, and as the primary filter is being cleaned, the secondary filter is also being agitated. This substntially extends the time before the secondary filter will need to be cleaned. This can be done without getting any dust in the home annd may be done repeatedly without needing to replace the filters. After a period of time (60-80 gallons of ash has been removed) the secondary filter will need to be cleaned. This is accomplished by simply removing the primary filter and vacuuming the ash off the secondary filter, then replacing the primary filter. To complete this cleaning, usually there aren't any parts replaced!
