Festool 204202 Wet Filter – Multi‑Colour

The Festool 204202 Wet Filter is a high‑performance replacement filter designed specifically for the NF‑CT MINI/MIDI‑2 series of industrial vacuum cleaners. Its multi‑colour construction not only adds visual appeal but also indicates the filter’s optimal operating temperature range, ensuring safe and efficient use in demanding workshop environments.

Key Features

• Optimised for Wet & Dry Applications: The filter is engineered to capture both liquid spills and fine dust particles, making it ideal for sanding, grinding, or any task that generates moisture‑laden debris.
• Colour‑Coded Temperature Indicator: Each colour band on the filter corresponds to a specific temperature threshold. This visual cue helps users avoid overheating and maintain consistent suction performance.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑grade polypropylene, the filter resists abrasion and chemical exposure, extending its service life even under heavy use.
• Easy Installation: The design allows for quick removal and replacement without tools. Simply slide the filter into place and secure it with the built‑in latch mechanism.
• Compatibility: Fully compatible with all models in the NF‑CT MINI/MIDI‑2 family, including CT15 and CT25 variants introduced from 2019 onwards.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Turn off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect it from any power source.
2. Locate the filter housing on the side of the NF‑CT MINI/MIDI‑2 unit.
3. Release the latch by pulling the lever or button (depending on model).
4. Slide out the old filter, discarding it responsibly.
5. Insert the new 204202 Wet Filter, aligning the coloured band with the marked slot to ensure correct temperature positioning.
6. Secure the latch and verify that the filter is firmly seated.
7. Reconnect power and test suction performance.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Check for visible wear or clogging every few weeks, especially after heavy usage.
• Cleaning Procedure: If the filter becomes saturated with liquid, rinse it under running water and allow it to dry completely before reinsertion.
• Avoid Chemical Exposure: While polypropylene is resistant, prolonged contact with harsh solvents can degrade the material. Use protective gloves when handling chemicals.
• Storage: Store unused filters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve colour integrity and structural strength.
