Hi rprice54

Not sure what others do but this is what I do for maintenance..
When the bottom bag is full I take off the top bag and turn it inside out and take it outside the shop and blow it out with the air hose...

I was told along time ago that I should not wash it out in the washing machine

It's about 5 years old now and it's still in good shape but I'm sure some day I will need to replace it...

I'm sure this thing isn't meant to run indefinitely without maintenance. Is there a way to clean these bags out? do you have to replace them?

I've tried googling it, I've searched the delta site, nobody mentions maintaining these bags.
