I know there must be problems with this idea, but I am curious what they are. And since there are about a dozen active threads on DC's...
Fine mesh cloth bags and canisters rule the DC world, even on cyclone systems that eliminate most of the waste. The filters on cyclone systems pretty much have to cope only with dust - correct?
Canisters are pretty expensive. Why wouldn't a column with high quality rectangular furnace filters work?
Design so filter area is more than a canister.
The housing should be pretty easy to make, including a clean-out door.
A 6-sided design would diminish trapping dust in the corners.
The filters would be less expensive since they're easier to make, easier to ship and store, and made by the million.Thanks for humoring me by considering my questions.
