Hi everybody,
Long-time lurker... don't really post that much on the forums these days... too busy with kids & work... anyways, still making lots of dust when I do get some spare time and I was getting sick of the degraded suction from my G0441 Grizzly 3HP cyclone... I definitely remembered being more impressed when it was new, and no amount of filter cleaning seemed to bring it back to life. I tried everything. I reached out to Dick Wynn at Wynn Environmental and he sent me some great pictures of plenum box designs based on their filters. I ordered two of the 13R230NANO model and then spent some time coming up with a plenum box that would fit into my garage shop layout. Finally had a chance to fabricate and install the filters the last couple of weekends. Plenum box is something I made out of 3/4" birch plywood. Tried to get the paint color close to the Grizzly color to assist me with my OCD problem... I incorporated the Gamma Seal Lid approach that they, and Shawnee Hills (Youtube) suggested (video link below). Great little idea they have there... I decided to throw out the 8" flex hose that came with the G0441 originally and switched over to all metal ducting. The last thing I am going to do is add a Dwyer magnahelic to the output stage, using a hose barb nipple, to measure static pressure building up on the filter. That will help me understand better when it is time to unscrew the filter and clean it.
FREEBIE OFFER: When I ordered the 13R230NANO filters, one of the boxes was beat up by UPS. The metal cage on filter is dented in and I didn't feel like mucking around with it, so I asked Dick Wynn if they could file a claim with UPS. They did, and another filter was sent from the factory. I really don't feel like throwing this thing out, I'm guessing it will work just fine. Someone with some time might even be able to straighten out the cage... I have very little time... so I thought I would offer it up for free here. If you are interested, PM me.
