Yesterday I decided to try and fit a Numatic Hepa-flo bag onto my Hoover Junior U1012 so I took the plastic face plate off the Hepa-flo bag and pushed it onto the Juniors top fill tube so now it will technically have HEPA filtration...

Thanks, wish they made synthetic HEPA bags foe these older Junior and Seniors and also the Turbopowers that don't have a secondary filter.

When I was at Bag Plant, #2, in Ohio,

it was mentioned that they should have started making hepa bags in Ohio. Now, of course, it's too late. They didn't want to get them the machinery. It could have changed a lot of things.

I reckon those hepaflow bags will fit a turbopower. I have some, will bring one home tomorrow and see!

I forgot you suggested this, so I thought I would try it. I tried to put it straight onto the fill tube out of the box and it wouldn't fit, the entire opening seemed to be the size of the fill tube but it would not go on, so I pealed the rubber seal bag and I saw this...

It is exccess of the bag from where the plastic face plate is stook on.

It was causing to much tightness for the hole I was trying to put it into (don't I know it!!!!) so I snipped into it all the way around with scissors so it would peal back when I pushed the bag on.

It still took a bit of effort but it went on! Here you can see the bag unfolded fully...

Here is a close up of how the bag is fitted to the fill tube and you can see I pushed the bags sealing tab back against the body of the machine so it is out of the way.

Here is how the bag can be folded back in so it fits perfectly inside the bag compartment.

And finally here is a picture where it is turned on and inflated. When it is turned on, it looks like it could save one from a car crash...
