Exactly how does this go in? I read in the manual that grey strip goes away from the operator but that seems opposite of air flow.

For anyone who lost their manual like I did, see page 18 of this one: http://c.searspartsdirect.com/mmh/lis_pdf/OWNM/L0908343.pdf. Since this is an exhaust filter, the arrows on the filter should point to the back of the vacuum.

I'm not sure how your individual machine is set up but maybe the following suggestions will help. My filter element has an arrow indicating air flow. I can tell which direction the air flows through the machine by looking at the design and I install the filter so the air goes in the direction indicated on the filter element. It's worked very well for me. If your old filter is still in place, look at the direction of flow when you remove the old filter. That may also help you decide. You can also turn on the vacuum with the filter removed and see which way the air flows. Then install your filter. Hope this helps.

Generally speaking the only IN airflow is through the hose of the vacuum, so other places of air flow would to exit the machine. The black foam seal would go towards the inside, to force all airflow through the filter and not possibly around it.

There are arrows on the long edge that indicate direction of airflow. As you remove the old filter you should be able to see the direction arrows. Otherwise, with the old filter removed, turn on your vacuum briefly to feel or use a piece of paper by the opening to determine direction of flow. My vacuum blows outward and that matched with the direction arrows on old filter. I suspect that is how most if not all installations work since the filtered air is typically being dispersed back into the room so the arrow should point out into the room.

it pours out of two holes in the bottom, and onto the ground. As long as it doesn't get in the fan motor (which I have never had this happen) it won't affect the operation

The machine will stay on the lowest fan setting when on auto until it detects the presence of dirty air...then it ramps up the fan speed to clean the air and then cycles back to lowest fan speed again. The million dollar question is, is your sensor sensitive enough to detect when the air needs to be cleaned? I had this problem and will share with you the instructions I received from Surround Air. Do the odor, dust, or allergen sensors ever light up? Or, does only one light up and not the others? I was told by Surround Air that I set up my machine in a room without fresh enough air for the machine to "know" what clean, fresh air is. When it's set up in a room without fresh air, the sensor doesn't know what clean air is and thereby lacks the sensitivity to detect the smallest amounts of pollutants. I was told to leave the machine unplugged for several hours and then train the sensor by running the machine outside or in front of an open window to draw in the freshest air possible. That clean air would set the sensor at a high sensitivity level to the presence of pollutants in the air. It makes sense. I hope this helps.

I had a filter drier in a tight spot (in the form of a U shape between the compressor and condenser coil). Well I was able to cut it out with a tube cutter and place it back between the compressor and condenser by expanding the cut ends and sweating them back in the lines. It saved much time and effort from me removing the coil. And I was able to sweat the filter drier in perfectly while not in between the compressor and coil.

Actually the air is being sucked in. It pulls air in and the debris in the air sticks to the blades. Yes it is normal to feel a faint amount of air around the unit. It's working.

Mine goes crazy over this one hvac vent, I watched it go over the vent five times, I had to move it, it went right back to the vent and said i need to move something out of its way. Of course I couldn't move the wall that was on the other side of the vent. I put the strips around the vent, it still goes over it, and sometimes sucks up one of the strips and which stops the brush. The strips haven't worked at all for me.

Just got my Dust Deputy hooked up earlier this week. I cleaned the filter and collection bin in the shop vac before starting to use the Dust Deputy. The flow through the Dust Deputy is great. Almost nothing got into the shop vac collection bin. It is cool to see the heavier items spinning around inside the Dust Deputy while sweeping. As soon as you turn the shop vac off everything falls into the Dust Deputy bucket. I'm glad I got the Dust Deputy (Christmas gift that I specified).

that is good, as long as it projects out so the operator can easily add air, unlike ones that run parallel to the rim,so they don't stick out !...drives me crazy. Thanks for the info !

I'm sure this won't help but I simply spray with jet stream the opposite way that the air goes through. I don't even know how well my washing works. this is my first washable filter. heads up, since the border is metallic, might need a cushion border to prevent banging noises.

Can't say I make much use of the fume extractor, but I don't use the unit that often anymore. If you're doing extensive soldering work then it may be worthwhile. The suction air comes out of the hot air wand. Remove the tip from that wand to get maximum air flow for suction. I suppose you could connect a hose to the wand that goes outside. You would want to keep the HOT AIR switch off if you do this this, even though hot air heating does stop whenever the wand is in the holder.

As Rae said I also am not sure what you mean. However you pull and hold the trigger as you push forward (about as far as you can reach) then you release the trigger to stop the liquid flow and slowly pull back on the same track. There is a float in the dirty water tank which will stop the suction. When it does this you shut it off till it drops. The tank is probably full but it could do this if youjerk the machine even when it still has more room.

As a master electrician i had to fish a circuit to my panel, install a disconnect by the outside unit. So wire, a breaker, disconnect + knowledge of codes ect. I installed and wired the unit and luckily have a part time neighbor who is a HVAC contractor. He came on a Saturday and did the lines and vacuumed the system, checked it out and got it going. We had one glitch one line was shipped the wrong size [ too big ] So we had to make a trip to the local store for the right line which had to be flared and made to fit. Luckily i had some one with a lot of experience in HVAC.

Well the air exaust port is on the top of the canister and is filtered so it pretty much expells air in a straight colum of air.You really have to be over the vacuum to feel the exaust.

Same answer here, the default is off. I have mine attached to my shop vac, where it works great by the way.

you place this unit in the supply air grill in the room your trying to get more air flow into and low the temperature of the room. As the air is blowing in your room that you have put this unit in. This unit has air blowinto the unit and blows out the air from the unit with an increase of air blowing in your room now with a lower temperature as well.

Not sure. I took mine off seems a little cheap and seemed to restrict air flow. Put your money in to a nicer one.
