This DOES meet the EPA rule. It has the certification right in the manual. For clarification, the EPA rule for RRP is "designed with HEPA as the last filtration stage all where the air drawn into the machine is expelled through the filter with none of the air leaking past it." It doesn't specify if the filter is before or after the motor impeller.

yes you can get bags that will collect the dust and you can just dispose of the bag

This vac is a HEPA vacuum, but there are many classifications of HEPA, to be certified for Lead or Asbestos abatement to my knowledge the vacuum must have a filter on the intake and exhaust side, this vacuum does not have an exhaust side filter, which means it does not meet criteria for EPA RRP rule if this is what it is being purchased for.

No I don't think it's a hepa filter, but the reviews of this purifier are very good. I'm on my third, as it doesn't seem to really be effective after 6 months. However, I am very allergic to book dust and mold, and this filter has been very, very good at taking away dust and spores. Unfortunately, I have to use a lot of books at work, and this machine is really helpful.

I believe it is quite safe to use. :) I made sure to read the description before i purchased it and it says that the product is FDA aprroved. In my opinion, I think it is a fairly high quality product. Lead shouldn't be in a FDA approved item.

I don't remember, I didn't think this was an issues at the time of purchase so I wasn't actively looking it. Why do you think there would be lead in there to begin with?

I believe it is lead free, though I am not positive. If it has any lead (unlikely) it would be in such small amounts that it could only matter if you were using the water for human consumption. I don't expect that you are passing water through the device and into your mouth. If you are, check with Wilkins.

Yes, any airgun pellets that are not advertised as PBA or "lead free" are lead.

I purchased a FS3/4H90 v4 (version 4) which is lead free approx. 5 months ago. I do not know if this unit in the picture is earlier or later, my guess is it is an earlier unit.

yes possible traces in the factory will contain lead, worst that will happen is inhaling it

I did not see a HEPA rating anywhere on the package, but the fact that it can be rinsed clean over and over should make it a much more effective filter. It is quite sturdy and I believe it will last for many rinsings. It also dries quickly so you don't have to wait days to use it again, although if you have a large home and want to rinse it between floors or rooms buying two might be the ticket.

No. The instruction manual that comes with this vacuum is excellent. I suggest you read it because it explains how to charge it, how to clean it and how to clean the Hepa filter.

I was not aware that this product may contain lead. I will have to check the potential of hazard.

I have used one for over 8 years until it failed and then bought a replacement. I have no concern about any lead that may be in it. There are solder joints on the inside electrical connections. The way I used it in camping I should be more concerned about having clean hands after fishing, cleaning fish, hiking and setting up a campsite. I really feel that the concern is so minimal that you shoould also be concerned if someone tried to swallow the recepticle end or the wire.

Oh golly, I'm sorry, I have no idea about the lead. I would assume it's lead free, but that's just my guess. I really enjoy mine.

yes, it's a HEPA, but doesn't have the Turbo Plus Power Nozzle. It has an attachment that is designed for low pile carpets or bare floors. If you have medium/high pile carpet, this won't really do the job. It will pick up surface dirt.

Not sure what the packaging says, but the hose is plastic, so I would assume that it is lead free based on that. Don't have anything concrete to though.

There is certificate to confirm lead free, but Calf. require Prop. 65 label if there is lead. In this case,I do not see any warning label--meaning no consern of lead contamination.

The vac would work very well but keep in mind the hepa filter is expensive. Mine does a good job on floors but I,m using for lead renovation work. For other jobs I use a vaccum wih cheaper filters.
