The Foam Exhaust Filter (part# 90146) is a genuine Tacony OEM exhaust filter for the Tornado CK 14/1 Pro commercial upright vacuum (Model 98147). It is a washable foam exhaust filter used in lieu of the HEPA exhaust cartridge, giving facilities that do not require HEPA-rated exhaust a lower-cost, reusable filtration option.

Compatible Models for the Foam Exhaust Filter

• Tornado CK 14/1 Pro — Model 98147

The CK 14/1 Pro exhaust filter housing accepts either the 90144 HEPA cartridge or this 90146 foam exhaust filter. The foam version is the right choice when your cleaning environment does not require true HEPA filtration and you want to keep operating costs down — the foam pad can be rinsed and reused rather than replaced as often. If your facility does require HEPA-level exhaust (schools, healthcare, and similar), use the 90144 HEPA cartridge instead.

Replace or wash the foam exhaust filter when it looks gray or matted or when exhaust airflow drops. A clogged exhaust filter — foam or HEPA — makes the motor work harder and can push dust back into the room, so keep it clean and swap it out when washing no longer restores it. Pair the foam exhaust filter with a clean motor intake filter and a fresh collection bag for full suction. Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Tornado equipment since 1956.
