Re:It's in!! - 2008/04/08 22:05
Hi guys,
Have just forwarded through a testimonial as promised, I hope you can use it.
Another question, this time about the return-air filter.
I have a 400x900 egg crate style filter. When it arrived, the air filter "cartridge" that slides out of the metal grille contains what looks like five or six overlapped layers of a fairly course filter material. I'm not sure how good a job this is doing filtering out dust (although it's doing an excellent job filtering out bigger stuff - like all the cat hair that floats around our place!!).
I noticed when the filter arrived it was marked as HE filter, so I wondered if the filter material used was so that it would not restrict too much airflow?
In the picture on your site, the filter looks to contain the denser, thick "foamy" polyester-blended filter material (that you sell seperately in sheets).
I have a brivis HE20i, and the manual advised I needed the large filter (I actually upgraded from the standard one that came with the DIY kit), but the manual doesn't actually specify the thickness or density of the filter.
Can you advise if I can (or should) load some of the thicker material into the cartridge? Or will wil that mean the unit has a hard time "breathing"?
Cheers,
Ben.
