Do you know which side of filter to face the duct?
1859369
With the Filtrete material that I received recently, the instructions do not say anything about how to place the filter material so that one particular side faces the oncoming air and therefore the other side faces the outgoing air. I cannot see any difference between the two sides of the material that I received most recently, i.e. the reinforcing mesh is either on both sides or is centered. I vaguely seem to remember that several years ago, the instructions used to differentiate between the two sides and I could see that the reinforcing mesh was on one side rather than on both sides or centered. I'm assuming that you received your FIltrete material recently and the two sides seem identical.

There is a little sticker on the corner of the material that says which side to have facing the fan.

Not sure why it's called a "hammock"? I am in need of a custom return air filter for my home but not sure if this is the same thing?

I think the box has directions for installing properly, but I don't think that it matters which way the filter cartridge goes in the housing.

We changed ours recently, but never really looked that close. The prefilter will be the dirtiest for sure, since air flows thru there first. The IQAir said it was time to change it so we did.

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 was a little confused initially too. If you look inside the spout, there are two grooves on either side. You just slide the filter in straight down, point-side down & it fits into the grooves.

There is a lip on the face plate which you use to pull the side off to allow access to the filter.

not sure where filter inlets are on your pool, are they just before the corner? Also what is the brand name of the pool?

I believe the filter basket holder swings out to the side so you can insert or remove the plastic filter.

Make sure you're standing the filter on its back (the filter intake will point straight up) and not on its side. The back has rubber feet and for me they support it quite well.

Kind ofyou need to cut it down on the long edge about half an inch to get it to fit. Cut 1/2in off long edge and place both filter in cartridge at same time or oder the ones K. Ashurex suggested :-)

it always intakes through the filter underneath - there's no change. The only option is whether it vents into the room through the top/front of the mic,or out the back and into duct (leading elsewhere)

It doesn't really matter. Both sides are symmetrical except for the built-in bubble level. If you must have an answer, I installed mine with that on top.

Yes, I changed the filter and tubing out and replaced it with a filter that sticks to the side.

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.

can't remember what model our mother's is, but there was an open vent area on top that you had to take out screws to access and then the filter just sits in there kind of at a slant. It doesn't look like it goes there, but it does.

The answers below are correct and will work fine for you. The filter holder is like a flat stick with a finger hole in the top to help you pull it out.

No, the right and left sides are not different. It is actually a slight bit tricky to get the filters to line up correctly so that once you connect and turn them to click them into position, they line up the same on each side...just mirror image of each other. It is much easier to demonstrate this than to explain it. I have actually purchased a total of 6 of these masks (for 6 different folks) and assembled them for a cleanup project. These masks are a very good product and worked well for us! I hope this helps.
