Product Description

The Simplicity pre-filter (part number B389-0500) is a replacement pre-filter designed for Simplicity Jack upright vacuum cleaners. This pre-filter works upstream of the main filter to capture larger particles and dust, extending the life of your primary filtration system while maintaining consistent airflow and motor performance.

Use Case

The B389-0500 pre-filter is essential for any household using a Simplicity Jack upright on a regular cleaning schedule. Pre-filters protect your primary filter from clogging with large dust, pet hair, and debris, which directly improves suction power and extends the time between main filter replacements. Homeowners with pets, high-traffic areas, or dusty environments benefit most from regular pre-filter maintenance — typically every 3–6 months depending on use.
