can one use a mesh aluminum filter with this fan? If yes - what size? Seems like some people cut hole to allow chain access?

There is plenty of clearance for ten inch mesh screen and it should fit fine. You will need a hole for the chain. Look around, I've seen some that have the chain hole already in place. Fan works great and moves a lot of air but is a little noisy because of the wind noise not the motor. Hope this helps.

I guess you could mount one on the outside or at least put a metal screen on it, so you wouldnt have to put a hole in it. That's what I would do.

It,s a powerful fan that can help you get rid of smoke/smell of cooking but, very bulky, hard to install, outdated. tricky to operate, no place to install filters and noisy. Unless you had same type fan and need to replace old one don't try this one

why would you want to????? your taking the air out of the inside of the house, there is no need for a filter.

You can absolutely use this to filter, to filter outside air but the filter must be placed outside or under house; where ever you are attempting to suck air from. This unit is not reversible, which means you can not blow air through it. You can however, take air form outside unfiltered but you also take the risk of sucking in things that are not air, i.e. spider mites, aphids, molds and other pests. They say it is best to use a hepa filter for intake but due to the air restriction it is almost impossible to get anywhere close to the rated cfm out of the fan. In my opinion, this set up is the best option to run if you can hide the filter or don't care about others seeing it.The filter offers a good scrub of the air without much cfm loss.

It is to thick to use as any type of filter.You would not get much air flow!

I'm not sure what size it is. I have not removed the filter since it was installed. I do not use the fan.

What size filter do you use in it? If you don't use one now ask a friend or neighbor if u can borrow a paper size filter size 4 and then you will know

My vents are made of plastic and the the part that controls the air flow can be unsnapped. I remove the air flow control part and place the filter sheet in the main vent and then snap the air control part back in. That keeps the filter in place. At least that works for me.

Hard to say if this will work in your application, without more information. You will need to discribe your application and what your are trying to accomplish. I'm not familiar with the filter or how much air flow restriction it creates. Tell me more and I will try to give you a better answer.

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

This filter is specifically for a central forced air furnace system. most window AC units I've seen are quite a bit smaller, and a different material.

The "Hole" is for ventilation, and there is a circular clasp below the vent in the top that holds air filters which you change out. You could easily stuff that clasp (and effectively the filter holes) with rubber cut to the size of the vent, and backed up with cloth, so that no rain or melted snow gets in the shelter. Hope this helps!

The filter has female one inch pipe thread. Your tubing looks to be too big. You could use reducers, but that would reduce flow. There are inline filters that are made specifically for irrigation, I think the culligan filter is overkill.

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I bought my fan several months ago but it didn't completely fail until a few days ago at which time i did the replacement job. I took a photo of my installation and can email it to whoever needs it. The fan housing is designed to accept either a 4 inch or 5 inch inside diameter rubber coupling on either inlet or outlet. I have a 4 inch ID coupling.

You can buy square sheets of 120 or greater stainless wire mesh on ebay and cut your own round filters with scissors. I would just add a new screen over my old screen for a little more stability. All for under $10.

I honestly have no idea. That being said, I was concerned about that too. My solution was to put in (2) filters that were one pipe diameter larger then my inlet piping.

Bill, Check the specifications (thread pitch and diameter) for the current filter your using, against the specs. of the filter you want to use. They may not be listed on Amazon, so be prepared to search the manuafacturers website or other online source.
