Is this filter directly behind the bag in canister? Ours have always been black foam with one side white material to trap more. Is this that part?

Yes, it goes in the bag compartment behind the bag. Identical to the original. Black foam with white material on the opposite side.

Yes, these are the thin foam filter behind the bag. I've been very happy with the purchase of this product. It is actually better quality than the original that came with my panasonic vac.

Yes it is in same compartment ad bag . I like the white ones better as easier to tell when duty.

Yes! It does a fantastic job of keeping smelly exhaust down too. Nothing worse than vacuuming and getting the odor from what's already in the bag spewing into the room.

It's already in a bag that's kind plastic-y feeling. The dimensions of the bag wouldn't fit in my filter so I took a piece of women's hose cut it to size then poured the stuff in that and tied it off. Works great!

The canister has a plastic spacer at the bottom that creates a space or gap. This then has a couple inches of ceramic tubes on top. The next layer is a blue pourous plastic fiber mat followed by a thin black fiber mat that I believe is charcoal. This layer is then covered by several inches of rough sanded ceramic balls. On top of the balls is a finer grade white fiber mat covered by the last plastic disc spacer. Then the lid. I take all this out about once per two months and rinse then return it to its original layers. All these biological filter media come with a new Eheim canister filter.

Its not really a filter because it just uses the air bubbles to lift water to the charcoal canister and out the top. The charcoal canister ideally should be below the water line to promote more water flow. Your gravel ultimately becomes a biological filter as water is pulled up the tube.

I'm not really sure, but I think it does, Mine is a canister yours is an upright, If I were you I would look for the part number ( written on the filter itself ) and start from there.sorry.

I need to know the answer to that myself. I have the under counter version of the Filter.....

No but it the wrong type of filter/pump . You would need an external canister filter pump.

The bag serves as the filter. Another thing to consider. The part of the canister that holds the bag is attached by a twisting motion on the vac. I have had a lot of problems with the canister simply popping open while using the vac. It is a real annoyance. The vac has plenty of power, but with the canister constantly popping apart while in use, I find it practically useless.

Yes, it is a bottom dump cannister and the filter does have to be cleaned occasionally. I want to go back to a bag vacuum cleaner...not as messy!

I'm not currently at the location where I installed the filter. As I recall there weren't any foam pieces but give me a week and I'll check for you.

Yes, the filter is in the unit. Air escaping from the rear is proper. That is the air being vacuumed up in the front, catching the debris going thru the filter and passing out the back of the unit.

I don't know what you mean, but the black filter goes on the inside where the vents are??? The same way it came in the box!!

There is a filter in the head of the vacuum; I pulled it out & the filter pad was "black," which is a sign of pollen, etc. The filter is thin but obviously looks to capture pollen, etc. The filter sits in an enclosure that snaps into that flat part of the vacuum head rather than on the side of the vacuum as a number of other type vacuums have. The bag itself resembles HEPA bags that I have previously purchased for my Hoover products & has a much better enclosure around the opening which I feel gives better suction & perhaps traps what the filter doesn't. Allin all, I find that there appears to be les static dust gathering on the outside of this unit as opposed to other vacuums that I have used.

The one I recieved four years ago came with the bag. No big deal if it has the bag or not. This is the one and only filter that I would recommend.

Yes, the odor-reducing filters should have whitish splashes or blotches on one side while the regular prefilters do not. I would guess the whitish substance to be zeolite which will attract & trap unwanted particles and odors.

I purchased this filter to use with a Shop Vac Hang Up Mini, which appears to be similar to the 500x. My vac originally came with a foam sleeve, paper filter and mounting ring. I replaced the paper filter with this one (still using the foam sleeve and mounting ring) with no issues. Hope this helps.
