Pro Tip: Tighten the harness straps before each shift — a loose fit shifts the center of gravity and accelerates fatigue. On overhead work (ceiling grids, vents, light fixtures), tighten the shoulder straps two notches above normal ground-level settings. The Probe 10 is rated for continuous use; let the machine breathe for 10 minutes every 2 hours on maximum-load jobs. Shop Backpack Filter Bags →
HEPA Backpack Vacuum Cleaner Probe 10 | Enviromaster
The Enviromaster Probe 10 HEPA backpack vacuum is designed for environments where an upright or canister unit cannot reach — stairwells, overhead surfaces, auditorium seating, aircraft interiors, and occupied healthcare rooms where the machine must stay close to the operator and off the floor. At approximately 32 lbs fully loaded, the ergonomic harness distributes weight across the back and hips, reducing operator fatigue on extended cleaning shifts. The HEPA filtration system captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, maintaining air quality in sensitive environments — hospitals, schools, laboratories — where disturbing settled dust without containment creates compliance and liability exposure. The 1,188-watt motor delivers 100–130 CFM of airflow and 100 inches of waterlift, providing stronger suction than most comparable backpack units on the market. Made in Newburgh, NY. For janitorial operations and facility managers measuring labor efficiency, the Probe 10 increases coverage speed on complex layouts: operators move freely without repositioning a canister, cover stairs and seating sections without a cord-drag penalty, and maintain HEPA compliance throughout. Synthetic Infiltrator® filter bags are available in 10-packs for cost-effective consumable management.

True HEPA. The Enviromaster® HEPA filter (#281581) captures 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns, meeting the True HEPA standard for high-efficiency filtration. For regulated remediation applications requiring OSHA compliance, the optional Sealed Critical HEPA cartridge (#267880C) — tested using the HOT DOP (Dispersed Oil Particulate) method — is available separately. "HEPA-type" filters sold by other manufacturers do not meet the True HEPA standard.
For OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 (asbestos in construction) and EPA RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) compliance, the optional Sealed Critical HEPA cartridge (#267880C) is required. The standard HEPA filter (#281581) included with the unit provides 99.97% filtration efficiency and is suitable for high-efficiency general cleaning. Always verify state and local regulations, as some jurisdictions impose additional requirements beyond federal standards.
Filter bags (Infiltrator® Enclosed Bags) should be replaced after each project or when approximately two-thirds full — never overfill. The HEPA filter should be inspected after every 10–15 project hours and replaced when airflow drops noticeably or when physical damage is visible (tears, crushed media, compromised gasket). In high-exposure environments such as active asbestos or lead abatement, replace the HEPA filter every 30–50 operating hours. Never attempt to clean or wash a HEPA filter — doing so destroys the media and voids HEPA certification.
Bags are sized by tank capacity. The 5, 7, and 9 Gal models use the 5–9 Gal Infiltrator® Filter Bags (5-Pack). The 15 Gal Poly Wet/Dry (P41512WAF) uses the 15–20 Gal Infiltrator® Filter Bags (5-Pack). The Probe 10 Backpack uses the Backpack Filter Bags (10-Pack). All bags are available on mastercraftusa.com under Replacement Parts & Filters.
It depends on the model. The 15 Gal Poly Wet/Dry (P41512WAF) is rated for both wet and dry pickup and includes a float pan assembly that automatically shuts off suction when the tank reaches liquid capacity. The 5, 7, and 9 Gal Dry models and the Probe 10 Backpack are dry-only — using them for liquid pickup will damage the motor and void the warranty.
With the optional Sealed Critical HEPA cartridge (#267880C), the Enviromaster® is suited for asbestos fibers (friable and non-friable), lead dust and paint chips, mold spores, ceramic dust, aluminum dust, fiberglass, and pharmaceutical-grade fine particulate in controlled environments. The standard HEPA filter (#281581) included with the unit handles general high-efficiency particulate capture. Always use proper PPE and follow applicable OSHA and EPA protocols. After regulated asbestos or lead work, the vacuum and all consumables must be decontaminated or disposed of per applicable hazardous waste regulations.
Mastercraft® strongly recommends using only genuine Infiltrator® filter bags and OEM HEPA filters. Third-party consumables may not maintain the sealed critical filtration integrity required for OSHA-compliant hazardous material vacuuming. Their use may void the warranty and compromise regulatory compliance on regulated job sites.
Mastercraft® backs the Enviromaster® line with a manufacturer’s warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Replacement HEPA filters, Infiltrator® bags, hoses, wands, and other consumables are stocked and available directly through mastercraftusa.com.
