I have Linx BH50010. Replacement filters have a greater diameter &amp; an impenetrable cover that the original filter lacks. Has it worked for others?

I've used the replacement filters for about 8 months now and they appear to work fine for me. Compared to the original all foam filter, the replacement filter does have a "cover" over the foam but I would not call it impenetrable. Air continues to flow through the cover and the vacuum seems to work just as well. I tend to rotate through the original and three replacement cover periodically. I rinse the cover in warm water with soap and air dry them. I probably use the filter about two weeks before I cycle through the next filter. So far all filters seem to be holding up okay but I will most likely throw them out and order another replacement set within the next month or so.

It would be best to take your filters into a home store and get what you need there. We had to return these, and I am not sure of the size... But they were really small. When I typed in my filter model number these came up first, so I was sure they would work (and was STOKED about the price!!). Then, like I said, had to return them. Sorry I couldn't answer your question specifically, but hopefully it helps.

My old filters also showed a model #: Unicel FG-1003. I was very confused about the model number as well. Last summer I replaced it with the FS-2003 since the dimensions seem to fit my measurements. They fit perfectly.

Kind of you need to cut it down on the long edge about half an inch to get it to fit. Cut 1/2in off long edge and place both filter in cartridge at same time or oder the ones K. Ashurex suggested :-)

It'll work, you might want to go a little bigger though. The reason for the popularity of this particular filter is that the replacement pads can be cut up with an exacto and replaced with standard filter material (so you don't have to pay for expensive proprietary filter pads)

A few weeks ago I would have had the answer. Threw the old filters away (don't have part number). Just get the measurements from your old filters and match them up with the new and you will be fine.

Yes, it will fit. Note - One time I ordered the filter, which appeared as you see it but actually received a round one.

My filters looked exactly like the picture. There should be a clear(ish) "snap-on" cover that easily pops off. (If you don't have them simply get them here on Amazon 3M # 501.) Then lay this new element over the grid & replace the cover. Remember these are throw away type NOT a replacement for the original main filter cartridge.

I am honestly not sure on the model of the filter I have. But I do know the "cover" comes off and that's where you usually stick the filter. Now- I should note- these particular filters seem to be "thicker" than the regular ones... and I actually had to tape the cover to the base so it would stay on. Other than that, it works great!

You haven't described the types of filters that you've tried in the past and that did not fit so no one can say for sure. These filters are shaped just like their photo - small cubes of about 1" x 0.5" x 1" (length, width and depth). The filter slot into which they're intended to fit is right about the same size. If your filter holder is close to that size then my guess is that it's probably worth a try for the few dollars these filters cost.

Best bet would be to contact http://www.hotspring.com/contact-us. Otherwise this is a great filter that replaces the original.

Try flipping the attachment ring over and then screw it on. Then screw the filter on. This should work. When I first tried mine I thought it did not fit until I flipped the adapter over.

The filter will fit. remember, you have to have a special tool to remove the filter. When you replace the filter don't tighten like the old canister filters, just a gentle tightening to seat the "O" rings. L Lee Parmeter Biloxi

I don't know for sure but I did look at my older Bodem press & its filter looks to be the same size. I would check Bed Bath & Beyond, Sur le tabla, or William Sonoma? I've only had mine about 2 months now so haven't needed to replace mine yet. Let me know if any of these work. Thanks Rick

I do not work for the company represented here, but the best thing you can do is measure your filter element. They can tell you if they have the proper size.

Carolyn, I am in the same situation! I do not understand why the filters for the NV500 are so hard to find! Then I had ordered the filters for a 450 from Amazon. Of course they did not fit! So I took Rose's advice and checked into sharkclean.com. It looks like the correct filters for the NV500 are available there, so check it out! I will submit my order as well and a BIG THANK YOU to Rose! Angelika

I actually copied the way the filter was in the Hamilton Beach to begin with and then placed the filter. I did notice the replacement filter was a bit larger, however does not seem to impede the process of the fan. I do hope this helps.
