Key Features

  • HEPA Media Filtration: Helps capture fine airborne particles as air moves through the vacuum's filtration system.

  • Designed for Prima Canisters: Intended for compatible Riccar Prima canister vacuum models.

  • Replacement Filter Set: Helps maintain the vacuum's intended filtration when the existing filters become worn or clogged.

  • Supports Airflow: Replacing a clogged filter can help reduce airflow restriction.

  • Routine Maintenance: Helps keep your vacuum's filtration system in suitable working condition.

  • Filter Configuration Options: Riccar offers RF19 and RF19G configurations for different secondary-filter requirements.

  • Dealer Support: Authorized Riccar Dealer Ace Vacuums can help verify the correct filter set for your model.

Benefits of HEPA Media Filtration

Vacuuming collects dust and debris from floors, rugs, and other household surfaces. A suitable HEPA media filter helps capture fine particles as air passes through the vacuum.

Using the correct replacement filter can help:

  • Capture fine dust and airborne particles.

  • Support the vacuum's intended filtration performance.

  • Maintain airflow when a clogged filter is replaced.

  • Reduce the amount of trapped dust left within the filtration system.

  • Support consistent cleaning performance when combined with proper vacuum maintenance.

Filter performance depends on the complete vacuum system, including the bag, seals, and other filters. Replacing the filter does not eliminate every airborne contaminant or replace other indoor air-quality measures.

Why Genuine OEM Parts Matter

Choosing the correct Riccar replacement filter helps maintain compatibility with your vacuum's original design.

  • Model-Specific Fit: The appropriate filter is designed for the compatible vacuum configuration.

  • Correct Filter Arrangement: Selecting the proper RF19 or RF19G set helps ensure the secondary filter matches your vacuum's requirements.

  • Reliable Filtration Maintenance: Replacing a worn or clogged filter helps maintain the intended filtration process.

  • Reduced Compatibility Confusion: Checking the part number helps prevent ordering a foam-filter set when a charcoal-filter set is required, or vice versa.

  • Expert Assistance: Authorized Riccar Dealer Ace Vacuums can help you confirm the correct replacement filter before ordering.

Replacement Guidance

Inspect your filters according to the instructions in your Riccar Prima owner's manual. Replace them when they become worn, damaged, excessively dirty, or due for replacement.

  1. Switch off and unplug the vacuum before performing maintenance.

  2. Open the filter compartment according to the owner's manual.

  3. Remove the existing filter carefully.

  4. Check the current part number and secondary-filter configuration.

  5. Install the appropriate replacement filter set as instructed by the manufacturer.

  6. Refit the filter cover securely before using the vacuum.

Do not wash or reuse disposable filter media unless Riccar's instructions specifically permit it. If you are unsure whether you need RF19 or RF19G, contact Authorized Riccar Dealer Ace Vacuums with your vacuum's model number.

Replacement timing depends on usage and household conditions. Inspect the filters regularly and follow the maintenance recommendations in your owner's manual.

Shipping, Return & Refund Policy

Shipping Policy

In-stock merchandise generally ships from our Leesburg, Virginia location within 3–5 business days. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time and is not a guaranteed delivery date. Weekends and holidays can affect timing. Special-order, backordered or unavailable items may take longer; contact us to confirm timing before purchase when a deadline matters.

Shipping options and charges are shown at checkout. After dispatch, follow the carrier's tracking updates. Weather, carrier delays, order verification and inventory confirmation may affect delivery. Inspect packages promptly and retain packaging if there is damage or an incorrect or missing item.

Returns and refunds

Eligible unused items have a 30-calendar-day return request window for refunds or exchanges, measured from delivery or in-store purchase. Return authorization is required. Final-sale exclusions, the 15% restocking fee for change-of-mind returns and shipping responsibilities are explained in our Return and Refund Policy. That policy is the governing source for return eligibility and fees.

For shipping or return help, email sales@acevacuums.com or call 703-997-9292.


30-Day Returns, Refunds and Exchanges

Updated September 27, 2026. Request a return for an eligible unused item within 30 calendar days of delivery (or purchase for items collected in store). Eligible returns may be refunded to the original payment method or exchanged, subject to availability. The same 30-day request window applies to both refunds and exchanges; there is no separate seven-day or 15-day refund deadline.

Eligibility and authorization

Items must be unused, clean, complete and in their original packaging with all accessories, manuals and proof of purchase. Contact sales@acevacuums.com or 703-997-9292 before sending anything back. Include your order number, item and reason for return. We will confirm eligibility, charges and return instructions. Unapproved or cash-on-delivery returns are not accepted.

Fees and shipping

For an approved change-of-mind return, a 15% restocking fee applies to the returned merchandise price. Original shipping charges are not refundable and the customer pays return shipping. These charges do not apply to an approved return caused by our shipping error or a damaged/defective item claim. Contact us first so we can arrange the appropriate remedy and shipping instructions. Do not assume a prepaid label is included.

Final-sale and excluded items

Air purifiers; discounted, clearance, trade-in, holiday-sale and price-matched purchases; gift cards; custom or special-order products; electrical parts; used or installed items; opened cleaning solutions; and used bags, filters, belts or other consumables are not eligible for change-of-mind returns. Other items clearly marked final sale at purchase are also excluded. An opened box alone does not disqualify an otherwise eligible unused, complete item, but consumables and cleaning solutions must remain unopened.

Damaged, defective, incorrect or missing items; recalls

Inspect your order promptly and contact us as soon as you discover a problem, with your order number and photos where helpful. Keep the packaging. Change-of-mind exclusions and deadlines do not remove applicable defect, warranty, recall or statutory rights. Warranty coverage requires evaluation under the manufacturer's terms; dealer status does not guarantee free repair. Recalled products must follow the manufacturer's recall process.

Refund timing and exchanges

After we receive and inspect the return, we will notify you of approval or the reason it cannot be accepted. Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method within 10 business days of approval; your bank may take additional time to post them. Contact us if more than 15 business days have passed since approval. Exchanges require authorization and replacement availability; any price difference and applicable charges will be explained before processing.

Applicable rights and earlier purchases

This policy applies to online and in-store purchases. We will honor more favorable written return terms provided with an earlier purchase. Applicable consumer rights remain unaffected. Where the European Union 14-day cancellation right applies, customers may cancel or return eligible orders within 14 days of receipt, subject to applicable legal exceptions, without giving a reason.
