I have a 30 x 40 wood shop, with a 10' ceiling. Where would be the best location for this air filter. I know it is to be hanged from the ceiling, so the location is relative to the shop dimensions. Thanks.

As a matter of fact, I have a wood shop of the same size, but with 12 foot ceilings. I hung mine in the middle (front to back), but slightly to the right hand side (right to left), which is the 40 foot span. It does a good job, so anywhere close to the middle will work. Just not in a corner.

The white filter goes on the outside . You should be sucking air through the filter and exhausting that filtered air.

I have a fairly powerful unit so I did not have a problem with the filter. It is pretty dense so it will reduce some of the airflow. But on the positive side, its easy to keep clean and reuse.

The best way to use it for your area would be to alternate rooms every other day. The specs state 625 sq. ft. on high but I alternate areas on setting four and it more than does the job. It pulls a lot of dust and debris from the air, so check the filters to wipe down clean at least every month! I've had mine about 3 months and my daily headaches stopped immediately. I've had NONE! i run it 24/7 and always put it in my bedroom overnight.

Yes, that is the best way to install is vertical. You can see dimensions on our website. afwfilters

I'll disagree with others on putting it in the center of the shop. This isn't a "dust collector" but rather a filter to capture all the small airborne particles that float around. You want it/them to create a circulating air current that keeps the particles afloat until it can get sucked through the filter. I have a long, narrow (for it's length) shop that's 20x46. I put two of them up, each one one quarter of the way in from the end and one quarter of the way in from the wall with the intakes coming down the long wall and exhausting to the end wall behind them. With this, it creates a "racetrack" type current through the room. If I only had one (which I did in my previous shop), I'd still hang it in the same position to create that more uniform air flow. They're hung with the tops at 9' with a 10' ceiling. I leave them running for an hour or two after I leave (easy to do with the remotes), and consistently get comments that my shop doesn't have that fine coat of dust everywhere that most shops do.

I place the metal side towards the intake, just like the filter in my air conditioner return. Neither of these filters offer an installation direction. I believe that the metal attracts larger charged particles before they enter the filter.

the pre filter goes down first the air filter goes on top. This filter set up is horrible. Keep an eye out for air leakage around the intake seal portion of the air filter. If there is dust in the intake port running to your carb you can use a little grease on the intake portion of the air filter to help seal it.

http://aliveairpurifier.com/ Theres an option to buy the filter close to the bottom of the page.

Look on the rubber seal. It should have some sort of indication as to which end is up. If I'm not mistaken I was unable to close the air filter compartment when the sir filter was in upside down. I hope this helps

If your looking to use these filters outside of a furnace I recommend buy a square box fan buying a square filter the same size as your box fan attaching it to the back of said box fan. This is a fairly cheap way to get a large air filterer.

You want it to be 25-30 gallons, long over tall or a normal framed one. And one with a secure hood. The places that do have openings you can actually tape screen over them so the filter isn't interrupted, they typically can't get up through those provided the sides around them are blocked.

There are several great short videos on youtube on starting and maintaining this filter.....I have followed their advice and have never had air issues....takes me about 10 minutes to tear down, clean and restart the filter

My basement shop is divided in half. The woodworking side is about 1000 sq. ft with 8 ft. ceiling. That is where the unit is mounted. I use the other side for applying finish. I have no dust problems with finishing even though I have no door in the doorway between the two sides. The filter is a standard size so you have a very good selection of filter type. Put $ into filters and you should be happy with is unit. It is quiet enough to leave running on low. On high it will clear the air (when I forget to turn it on first) in less than 5 minutes. Mine is suspended from the ceiling above my miter saw and sanding station. The remote works perfectly. I have it wall mounted for convenience. My basement shop is divided in half.

There is a bracket on the fan itself where you can screw/bolt it down, however there is no provided way of hanging the filter, I bought straps made for hanging duct work for a couple dollars and it works well. The filter comes filled with charcoal so you don't have to buy anything to fill it up. I cant see a way to add or remove charcoal from it though, regardless it will last a while. so far it has worked well for me. Any other questions I'll be glad to help, I bought mine about a month ago and have had no problems so far running it 24/7

Is this a new machine? If so it may take some time to get used to the smell. Make sure it is not on sanitize while you are in the room. Do you have it high enough and facing a return air vent? I put mine on the top of a book shelf and point it towards my return air vent with the A/C on auto for the fan. You have to put a certain feet high but I can not remember. I am 5'3" and it was probably almost a foot higher than me just guessing.Hope this helps!

Mike: silly question, but did you give the filter an extra push, plus push in the top rubber gasket some more to expose the thread? If this fails then the filter is too long. In that case I would be making an extended threaded mounting post. Or a special nut with a reduced diameter that will go inside the filter and catch the thread. My 10 gallon Craftsman has a 7/16 NC thread. I have the capability at home to manufacture these fixes, but if you do not I am at a loss for other solutions. Hoe about a recessed cup with a flange, then cut a bigger hole in the filter rubber and use a 7/16 nut inside the cup.
