SWMBO travelling to see her mom, so perfect opportunity and here we go........

3hp DC with cyclone feeding a 55 gal drum. Add-on filter bag 6' x 3' dia, feeding another 55 gal drum. While I was at it - Fein shop vac pulling the ROS, and a craftsman shop vac pulling the CMS.

Cleaned it all out. Only took 1-1/2 hours and 3 particulate masks. Plus, of course, vac the entire shop after that event.

Excuse me - I gotta go take 3 showers and drink 2 beers. (or, maybe I have that backwards :) )

JDS airtech filter wired to a timer switch - prolly need to unplug that and give it live power for a day or so.

Whew - very glad the filter bag is only an annual thing.

I've seen one of those huge industrial units get the full treatment. Something like 40 cloth bag filters AFTER the separator unit. BIG. It was big enough to walk into. Two guys in space suits inside, two guys in space suits outside.
