Nilfisk industrial 4 gal (US) reservoir canister vacuum cleaner

Professional vacuum cleaner for hazardous dust and pathogens.

Nilfisk manufacturer’s code: GD930-H

The Nilfisk GD930-H is designed to vacuum dry materials such as dust, dirt, debris, ashes, and sawdust. Its HEPA filter (high-efficiency particulate air) captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns and performs even better with larger particles. Positioned behind the air intake, the HEPA filter protects the vacuum’s internal components from dangerous dust accumulation. A secondary foam filter shields the motor. This model is recommended for asbestos removal, mold decontamination, construction sites, renovation projects, and routine cleaning in schools and healthcare settings.

Included with the vacuum:

• 1 1¼-in (32 mm) diameter; 6 ft (1.8 m) long flexible hose
• 1 telescopic wand of 2 ft to 3 ft long (0,6 m to 0,9 m)
• 1 standard floor nozzle
• 1 crevice tool
• 1 universal round brush
• 1 motor filter
• 1 HEPA filter (for spares, see SAD4F item)
• 1 disposable bag for dry materials (for spares, see SAD4S item)

The ultimate solution for asbestos removal and mold remediation.

Key features of the Nilfisk GD930-H vacuum cleaner:

This vacuum stands out for its robust and ergonomic design. The stainless steel tank is fully sealed and surrounded by a non-marking black vinyl bumper to protect walls and furniture. The lid, handle, and base are made of durable ABS plastic. The dual-phase motor generates 74 cfm airflow, 92 inches of water lift (23 kPa), and delivers 1000 watts of usable power. Operating at just 53 dBA, it runs on a 115V/60 Hz circuit and draws 8.7 amps. Weighing only 7.5 kg (16.5 lb), it features two large rear wheels and a front swivel wheel for smooth movement across all floor types. The 15-meter (50 ft) power cord allows wide coverage without frequent relocation.

Easy installation for immediate use:

Setting up the Nilfisk GD930-H is straightforward. Insert the disposable dust bag into the tank, check the HEPA filter’s integrity, and plug the unit into a standard outlet. The foot-operated power switch eliminates the need to bend down. Included accessories—such as a 1.8 m flexible hose, adjustable telescopic wand, standard floor brush, crevice tools, and a universal brush—make it ready for action on any job site.

Maintenance tips for long-term performance:

To maintain optimal performance, regularly inspect and replace the HEPA filter as needed. Replacement HEPA filters (item SAD4-F) are sold individually, and disposable dust bags (item SAD4-S) come in packs of 10. Empty the tank after each use and clean the filters to prevent clogging. Routine maintenance extends the vacuum’s lifespan and ensures consistent suction power.

Usage guidelines for safe and effective cleaning:

Always wear personal protective equipment when using the Nilfisk GD930-H for hazardous material cleanup. Confirm the HEPA filter is properly installed before operation. Do not use the vacuum for liquids. Its low noise level and high filtration efficiency make it suitable for sensitive environments. The DOP (dispersed oil particulate) test is mandatory before starting asbestos or mold remediation and every four weeks if the unit remains on-site. This test certifies the HEPA filter’s integrity and ensures no particle leakage through the filter media, frame, or seals.

FAQ about the Nilfisk GD930-H industrial vacuum:

Is the DOP test required for asbestos removal?

Yes, the DOP test must be performed before starting work and every four weeks if the vacuum remains on-site. It certifies the HEPA filter’s effectiveness against 0.3-micron particles.

What materials can the Nilfisk GD930-H vacuum?

This vacuum is designed for dry materials only, including dust, dirt, ashes, and sawdust. It is not suitable for liquid collection.

How do I know if the HEPA filter is still effective?

A DOP test conducted on-site will verify the filter’s integrity. If particles bypass the filter, it must be replaced immediately.
