What Is Included?

The filters are replacement components for compatible central vacuum systems. Check your unit's manual for the correct filter location and installation procedure.

Why Replace Your Central Vacuum Carbon Dust Filter?

Central vacuum motors can generate fine carbon dust during normal operation. A filter designed for this purpose helps capture these particles before they disperse through the system's exhaust path.

Replacing the filter when needed helps:

  • Maintain the intended carbon dust filtration.

  • Reduce the release of captured carbon dust from a properly maintained system.

  • Support routine central vacuum maintenance.

  • Keep the external filter in suitable condition for its intended purpose.

Filter replacement does not eliminate all airborne particles or guarantee a particular indoor air-quality outcome. Results depend on the central vacuum's design, condition, installation, and maintenance.

Key Features

  • Genuine Riccar/Simplicity Replacement Part: Product part number CFBF-2PK.

  • Convenient 2-Pack: Includes two carbon dust HEPA media filters.

  • Designed for Central Vacuums: For compatible systems equipped with an external carbon dust filter.

Why Genuine OEM Parts Matter

  • Model-Specific Compatibility: Helps match the filter to a compatible central vacuum.

  • Designed Filtration: Provides the specified carbon dust HEPA media filter type.

  • Correct Fit: Helps avoid sizing and installation issues associated with unsuitable replacement parts.

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.

Recommended Riccar Products

Useful tools and care items for central vacuum owners. A bag or filter model does not establish which hose or attachments you use; check the connection notes below.

Check your system and connections

Match the installed part number and connector. Electrical wands, powerheads and hose handles are not universally interchangeable. Round tools may need an adapter on proprietary handles. Hide-A-Hose valve series and RF generations have separate compatibility requirements. Select the exact variant on the product page.

Find the correct bag or filter

Match the full power-unit model, production version, bag collar and filter dimensions. Cyclonic, disposable-bag and permanent-filter systems use different supplies. A similar size or shared brand name is not enough to confirm fit. If a matching supply is not shown, send us the model label and a photo of the old bag or filter. Shop central vacuum bags & filters
