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.

This thing is a hoss, so you have a lot of lee-way. Hang near to where you generate the most dust, most often. Angle away from that area, and in such a way that the tool will blow around the room. Don't point it at a wall, or you interrupt the air flow. Ideally, the air should circulate in a circle around the room.

Whatever place you put it, be sure it is secure. It should also complement air flow for dust collection and heat or ac sources? My concern is also access to changing the filters as they clog? It's an odd size filter. I'm considering making a pre filter frame to use cheaper filters from the box store. Good luck, be safe!

I positioned mine in the corner angled so that it creates a continues airflow in the room. The owners manual provides an illustration of this.

There is some guidance in the user guide (should be available from grizzly website). Key points would be away from walls to allow for better air movement (so somewhat central) and where it won't be in the way of working. To avoid having a fan blowing on you, I'd suggest having the output point away from common work areas.

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.

It is kind of an odd air circulator. It draws air in through the front and out the top. I got mine because my wood stove has made my house dusty but it also draws the cooler air from the floor and circulates the warm air up near the ceiling. I imagine you could lay it on its back to direct the air flow. It is also designed to be hung on the wall upside-down which is great for filtering the air in smoky rooms.

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

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.

The filter is mine is tight enough to stay in place. I would suggest getting an inexpensive furnace/air conditioner filter, cut the filter material to form a pre- filter in front of the carbon filter. Make it long enough to loop over the top (and perhaps bottom). I did this but didn't have to loop it around, just taping it in place. In this way the expensive filters will last longer, since large size particles ( > 5 Microns) are caught first.

Move the smoker to the downwind side of the house. I found a place behind my house where the wind doesn't affect it.

The filter is a hepa filter that goes in the air return of a central air unit. I believe it could go in the ceiling vent or as in our case an air return in the main halway.

Not near draft or vents, about as high up as your head-maybe 5 1/2 feet high, but NOT to or at the ceiling. You want it to be where regular ambient air would be . This means where air moves only as much as any where else. Not near furnace, fireplace, or any device that draws or exhausts air. AND, you can access it, change battery, etc.. On a wall in a common place or multiple places , such as hall and a bedroom (if you want to buy more than one.

the filter is 24 inches High X 30 inches Wide X 1 inch Thick. The filter will fit in a 24x30 space in the vertical or horizontal position. All you have to do is turn it to the corresponding configuration of the filter opening. Make sure you face it with the arrow on the side of the filter pointing toward the duct.

On the front there is a panel that hides the filters, the air comes in around that panel - it's about a 1/2 inch of space all the way around the panel that allows the air to come in. The air is sent out via the top of the unit.

The 30x30x1 comes in 2 size variations: 30 x 30 x 7/8 Actual Size -or- 29-1/2 x 29-1/2 x 7/8 Actual Size. Please measure your current filter to determine which size you need. We have both sizes. ThanksScottClean Air Solutions LLC

Mine is installed on the supply side. I left as much space as possible between it and the ac coil. I spoke to a few HVAC pros and they recommended to keep it on the supply side rather than on the return side using hot water This is a drip design and uses a fair bit of water meaning a lot of extra cost if hot water is used. Additionally the return side is cool air which can't carry as much moisture as warm air can. Install on the supply side with cold water; you'll be fine. My home is 3800 sqft and this unit keeps the set humidity level all winter long with no issue.

The air intake is the "oval" area on the front of the machine. The filter is right behind the oval area. The "clean" air comes from the left side. Don't hesitate to buy this as you will be quite satisfied with it.

My mom put it in her window and so far so good. I would check other companies that sell air plants to see what kind of care they need. I googled their care and read what it says at airplantcity.com, there is a lot there. Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

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

I use mine in a wood shop. I replace the filter when it has a noticeable coat of dust (the noiceable coat-like a layer of sweepable dust on the workbench) on it.
