Tornado Vacuum Filters and Bags
Tornado vacuum filters and OEM filter bags here fit the Tornado backpack, canister, and wet/dry vacuums in commercial use, from the Cleanbreeze paper bags to the HEPA 12 cartridge kits. The right filter keeps suction where it should be and keeps fine dust out of the motor, so a worn bag is not just a capacity problem, it shortens the life of the machine. Order by the part number stamped on your current filter.
HEPA, Cloth, or Paper: Which Tornado Filter Bag Fits Your Vacuum?
Tornado runs three bag types and the choice depends on the job. Disposable paper bags like the 90025 and 90147 are the standard for daily janitorial work, cheap and clean to swap. The reusable cloth shake-out bag (90035) saves money on high-volume sites where you empty often. HEPA bags such as the 90039 and 90701H trap allergens and fine particulate for healthcare and dusty environments. The 90036 HEPA 12 cartridge kit is the cartridge-style filter for models that use one instead of a bag.
Finding the Right Tornado Filter by Model Number
Tornado part numbers do not map one-to-one to vacuum models, so match the filter to the part number you already have, not the machine name. The external jumbo cloth filters (90377, 90378, 90488) fit the large wet/dry units, while the intake and foam filters (90145, 90146) protect the motor on the backpacks. If you only have the vacuum model, the manual lists the filter part it takes.

How Often Should You Change a Tornado Vacuum Filter?
Swap a paper bag when it reaches about two-thirds full, since suction falls off well before it looks packed. Wash or replace a cloth bag when the weave clogs and airflow drops. Change the HEPA element on the maker's schedule or sooner in heavy dust, because a blocked HEPA pushes the motor hard and pulls down cleaning power. Keep a few bags on the cart so a full one never stops the shift.
