Canavac 12-Inch Dump Bucket...
$90.99
Product details
This dirt-collection bucket runs 12 inches across and secures to the bottom of the four Canavac LS-series models named in the title. It is the compartment that actually catches what gets pulled in through the house's inlet valves, built to release cleanly for emptying rather than requiring the whole power unit to come apart every time it needs to be emptied.
Years of use can crack a bucket, warp it slightly, or wear down the latch points, and any of those breaks the airtight seal between the bucket and the power unit above it. Once that seal goes, the system loses suction the same way it would from a leak anywhere in the tubing, only this one sits at the bottom of the unit instead of out at a wall inlet, which makes it easy to overlook during a first check.
A replacement bucket brings back a snug latch and a proper seal, and pairing it with a fresh gasket is worth doing at the same time, since the gasket is what actually makes contact between the bucket rim and the unit body. Confirm your model against the title before ordering, since Canavac's other series use different bucket profiles that will not seat the same way.
Empty it on a regular schedule rather than letting it fill all the way, since an overfull bucket puts extra strain on the latch and gasket every time it comes off and goes back on, shortening the life of both over time and inviting an early replacement.
