How do you know when it is time to replace the bag with a new one?

When it is filled just about to the top with the nasty flies!!!! We've left ours up and I was wondering how 1 more fly could fit in there, but they did!!!

Oh you know. It fills up completely (at least ours did). It starts to smell too because of all the flies. It took us only a few days to fill up a bag. We have an alley off the back of our yard though, so flies love the trash cans etc.

You will know. When working the thing is a fly magnet so there are many floating around contemplating going inside the trap. After potency you have a bag containing dead ones but nothing outside.

I continue to re-fill with water until the dead flies pile up to the water line. In reality, it would probably be a good idea to replace them a little sooner. But, the above works pretty well.

I let it hang till it looks like it's going to explode at the seams it's so full. I do not however like the smell that comes with 40,000 dead, rotting flies so at that point it goes in the dumpster. There is a smell when you put a fresh one out but it smells 1,000 times worse when it's reaching max capacity with rotting dead ones in the mix. They'll even lay eggs on their dead buddies so you'll have maggots in there too. I toss around 30 days.

I am unsure if replacement bags can be purchased. We love this unit because we can remove one bag or take the entire unit in out of our closet. This is a nice quality unit for the money and it would be easy to remake a bag later on if necessary.i might just pick a different color fabric for colored clothes. Contact manufacturer for bag replacements.

My bags are about 4 years old however I doubt much has changed. One of the bags has a handle to carry it with . The other does not. Guess they figured if you were using it for commuting you would just use one bag.

We vacuum about once a week on average (2000 sqft). The bag-change indicator never seems to indicate that a bag change is needed, so we just change the bag every couple months or so.

I don't remember. I don't have the bag anymore. I replaced it because of the problems I had with it.

It depends on the size of the bag. Not long at all. I love this device. I have saved money by using it. You should play with it to get used to using it as with anything new. Ive found it to be worth having.

I've never tried to replace my leaf bag, but if I were to need to do this I'd start at Amazon (where I purchased my blower-vac system). And if Amazon doesn't work for you, I'd try Black and Decker or one of the Home Improvement outlets like Lowe's or Home Depot.

Most likely all lot numbers will be different. The bag I purchased was one of the lot numbers under the recall. My best suggestion is to buy the upgraded parts regaurdless. That way you have spares when the originals break whether they were the effected lot number or not.Its a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Two things... There's a washer on the inside that may be replaced very easily. They give you some in the bag when you buy. Or call the company directly and they may be able to help or send you a new one. Good luck

The bag has a 1 year warranty. If you're still in the warranty period contact ever last to see how to get a replacement. If not, I'd just suck it up and get a new one. The entire set is 58 bucks on Wal-Mart's website

Yes the bag was discontinued with no known replacement. If you are lucky enough to find it like I was, then buy it ASAP.

I would check with Dolphiin and see what replacement bags they recommend. I did the same thing for my Aquabot

No, I have not as yet. My strap is raveling and will soon need replacement. I ordered two Bags,.

After doing a quick google search - I would say.... no. Plus, the cart is a total of <$40, so I'm guessing the cost of replacing the bags would be close to replacing the whole thing if that is even an option. I don't remember any materials coming with the hamper that suggested replacement bags.
