In the process of moving my cyclone into the new shop I cleaned the filters. I did this by plugging a roll-around dust collector into the cleanout box at the bottom and then back-flushed the filter medium with air.
After setting it up I tested it out to make sure everything was good to go......when I shut it down I heard a loud pop......I figured the trash can collection barrel had compressed in a little. Then I ran it for awhile running machines and at some point heard a pop again, and then shutting it down heard two loud pops.
Apparently cleaning the filters had made it flow so well that it's almost compressing the trash can!
Should note: this is a 5hp, 15" impeller ClearVue.
Anyone else experience this?
I'm thinking about getting a Dylos meter to make sure the filters are still filtering! I was gentle with the cleaning but these filters are not new.
