  Factory original OEM replacement latch for the model e2 Black (E2 Type 12) Rainbow. Use a small punch to remove the pin that holds that latch in place. Look closely at the pin and you will notice that one side has a rough cut and the other side has a smooth end. Push pin from the smooth side. The rough cut is what bits into the plastic and holds the pin into place.

  HEPA Filter, E2

  

  Brand: Rainbow®
  Manufacturer: Rexair
  Item #: R12179

  This is the factory original OEM True H13 class HEPA filter (Neutralizer) for the two speed E2 Type 12 and 23P (Black, Silver, e2 Gold) version Rainbow vacuum. If you only have an on and off switch and not a hi and low speed, then this filter IS NOT compatible.

  You should replace your filter once every 4-6 years. If you need to replace it more often, you should change your water basin in the middle of cleaning. Once the water gets thick with dirt and debris, it becomes more difficult to filter. The dirt will start to bounce off the sludge and go up through the motor and get caught by the HEPA filter.

  Be careful not to vacuum up drywall dust or baby powder as the water has a difficult time filtering this type of material.

  Effective serial number 1000000 with a start date of September 4th 2003 through current production. The bulk item number for this is R12647B. Some websites list this part number for a single item which is incorrect.

  Which are the classes of HEPA filters by their retention at the given most penetrating particle size (MPPS)?

  HEPA Filters Specifications
  HEPA Class	Retention (total)	Retention (local)
  E10	>85%	---
  E11	>95%	---
  E12	>99.5%	---
  H13	>99.95%	>99.75%
  H14	>99.995%	>99.975%
  U15	>99.9995%	>99.9975%
  U16	>99.99995%	>99.99975%
  U17	>99.999995%	>99.9999%

  Here is a link to more information about HEPA filters and the fraud within the filter industry...Wikipedia

  It is better to toss your old filter and not replace it than to buy a generic filter. Generic filters do very little for the air quality while reducing your airflow and performance.

  Water Pan, 2.5 Qt, E2

  Item #: R10236

  This is the original OEM factory 2 1/2 quart water pan for the E2 Type 12 (Black, Silver, e2 Gold Series), and E-2 (e SERIES™) Rainbow vacuum cleaning system. We do not sell aftermarket water pans as reviews and experience have shown them to be inferior in quality and more likely to break.

  We also offer a larger 4 quart water pan that is nice when picking up a lot of dirt as it gives more water for the dirt to filter through. It also allows for more water pickup when you have a spill or are shampooing. Check out the "Related Items" tab to view.

  Original item number R7876 was a 2 quart design before it was replaced with this larger standard 2 1/2 quart version. The early version also had a silver warning label with item number R6853 in lower corner.
