so after talin with my paint filter guy, i was told that the paint pocket filters were not recomended for water type paints, and sent me some filters that were newly design for such paint.
the reason why i wanted some differnt kind of filters, is that the old fiberglass standards were cloging up in a week with the eviro base, as before i could get 3 weeks out of them.
i have some pics of the old yellow standard and the new orangeish pinkish one’s.the new one’s are thicker layed, you can almost see too layers in the white, and don’t seem to be woven a tightly together as the old ones, and have a weird spaghetti lookin thing goin on the top. which was hard to cut, and they are epa compliant. i just got them in on fri. afternoon, so i will see how long they will last.
They priced much more than the ol’ solvent ones?
I guess we’ll have to wait and see how they work out.
fancy looking filters…
I am guessing the green ones I’ve seen in most shops are the same as the yellow ones you had there?
i think they do cost a lil more. but not sure how much. i get a 100ft less in a roll with the new ones, but hopeing that i don’t have to change out every week. so i’m looking a cost neatural thing here.
ben i used to have the green ones, but my supplier switch me over to the yellow ones a few yrs back. i couldn’t be sure, but i know the yellow ones are 98% effecient. so i would think the green ones are not. i would have to find out.
here’s the update on these filters. i ran these for 3 weeks, air flow was very good, so i figure i’ve gotten my monies worth. i think that if your useing solvent you can go 4-5 weeks easily. i ask where my guy got them from, he said a company called, air filtration corpartion. he’s gonna get me the web site monday. my price was 212.00 for 30″ x 200′.
here’s some pics.
here’s the top side with the grate pulled off.here’s the side shot.
here’s the bottom side, pretty clean.
I think u installed em up side down thats why the bottom is clean still:p
oh, i see, if i flip them around, i should get another 3 weeks out of them.
so after talking to my paint booth supplier, i finally got the web sited for these filters.
so here it is. air flow technology .com.
