Foam Exhaust Filter 90146

The Foam Exhaust Filter (part# 90146) is a genuine Tacony OEM exhaust filter used in place of the HEPA cartridge on the Tornado CK 14/1 BSE and CK 14/1 Pro. It sits in the exhaust housing and is a washable, reusable alternative to the pleated HEPA cartridge.

Compatible Models for the Foam Exhaust Filter

• Tornado CK 14/1 BSE — Model 98145
• Tornado CK 14/1 Pro — Model 98147

The 90146 is a shaped foam pad that fills the same exhaust filter housing as the HEPA cartridge. Where the HEPA cartridge (90144) is a sealed, disposable pleated filter, the foam exhaust filter is intended to be rinsed, dried and reused — a lower-cost option where HEPA-grade final filtration is not required.

Replace or wash the foam exhaust filter when it looks dark and loaded or when exhaust airflow drops. Let it dry fully before refitting; installing a damp foam filter can restrict airflow and stress the motor. It lifts straight out of the exhaust door and presses back into the same recess.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Foam Exhaust Filter (part# 90146) do on the CK 14/1?

The 90146 is the final exhaust filter on the CK 14/1 BSE and CK 14/1 Pro when the machine is set up with foam rather than HEPA. It captures fine particles leaving the motor housing and, unlike the HEPA cartridge, can be washed and reused.

What is the difference between the Foam Exhaust Filter (90146) and the HEPA cartridge (90144)?

The 90146 is a washable foam pad; the 90144 is a sealed, disposable pleated HEPA cartridge that captures finer particles. Both fit the same exhaust housing — choose the foam for a reusable low-cost filter or the HEPA cartridge where certified fine-particle filtration is required.

What models is the Foam Exhaust Filter (part# 90146) compatible with?

The 90146 Foam Exhaust Filter fits the Tornado CK 14/1 BSE (Model 98145) and the Tornado CK 14/1 Pro (Model 98147). It is a genuine Tacony OEM part.
