The ProTeam LineVacer 10 Quart HEPA/ULPA Backpack Vacuum (model 107161) is built for facility cleaners and restoration crews who need certified HEPA capture without sacrificing throughput. The 13-pound backpack body, padded harness, and 50-foot cord let one operator cover hallways, stairwells, classrooms, and theater aisles in a single pass while the four-stage filtration system traps lead dust, drywall fines, mold spores, and allergens before they return to room air.
Built for these jobs
This LineVacer kit is the model facility managers reach for when air quality is part of the job, not an afterthought.
- Lead paint cleanup under EPA RRP - the certified HEPA filter and sealed airflow path meet the requirements for renovation work in pre-1978 housing, schools, and child care facilities.
- Schools and universities - the 64 dB sound level lets cleaning happen during class changes without disrupting instruction; the 50-foot cord covers most classrooms from a single outlet.
- Healthcare and clean rooms - HEPA filtration handles patient rooms, lab corridors, computer rooms, and other sensitive spaces.
- Theaters, churches, hotels, and event venues - backpack-style cleaning gets in and out of fixed-seat rooms and tight spaces that uprights cannot reach.
- Disaster restoration - fire, flood, and mold remediation crews use the LineVacer line to capture fine particulate before final clearance testing.
How the four-stage filtration works
Air passes through (1) the Intercept Micro Filter bag, (2) the dome filter, (3) the electrostatic filter, and finally (4) the certified HEPA filter, which captures 99.97% of airborne particulates 0.3 microns or larger across 2,283 square inches of filter media. The result is a near-zero dust signature in the cleaned space rather than the dust plume that uprights and shop vacs typically produce.

Frequently asked questions
Is the filter true HEPA, and is it certified?
Yes. The LineVacer ships with a certified HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of particulates 0.3 microns or larger. The filter is the last stage of the four-level filtration sequence, so the air leaving the unit is meaningfully cleaner than the air entering it.
Can this vacuum be used for EPA RRP lead paint cleanup work?
Yes. The 107161 is appropriate for lead paint renovation cleanup under the EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) rule. The certified HEPA filter and sealed airflow path meet the agency's particulate-containment requirements.
How heavy is it for a full shift?
The vacuum body is 13 pounds. The padded harness distributes the load across the shoulders and hips, which is why backpack vacuums are the standard choice for crews cleaning multi-floor commercial spaces all day.
How does this compare to the LineVacer model 107141?
The 107161 ships with the Turbo Brush tool kit (good for upholstery and low-pile carpet); the 107141 ships with the Xover Performance Floor Tool Kit C, which is geared toward hard-floor edge cleaning. Same vacuum body, different attachments - choose based on the surfaces you clean most.
What replacement filter bags does it use?
It uses ProTeam Intercept Micro Filter bag #100291. The kit includes two bags so you can start work immediately; replacement packs are available separately.
When do I use the Turbo Brush versus the crevice or upholstery tool?
The 11-inch Turbo Brush is the primary tool for low-pile commercial carpet, area rugs, and upholstered seating - the agitator brush lifts ground-in soil that suction alone leaves behind. Drop to the 5-inch upholstery tool for office chairs, theater seating, and stair treads, and the 17-inch crevice tool for baseboards, vent louvers, and the strip behind dock-door tracks. The 3-inch dust brush with reducer handles fragile surfaces - venetian blinds, computer keyboards, and trophy cases - without scratching.
How often should I change the HEPA filter and the dome filter?
ProTeam recommends inspecting the HEPA filter on a regular maintenance interval and replacing once airflow drops noticeably or after heavy lead-paint, drywall, or soot cleanup work where loading is high. The Intercept Micro Filter bag is the primary capture - swap it when it reaches roughly two-thirds full, not when it is completely packed. The dome and electrostatic filters are pre-stages that protect the HEPA; they typically last several bag cycles before they need cleaning or replacement. Keeping the lower stages clean is what gives the HEPA filter its full rated service life.
