>How do the 1 micron bags compare top the i micron cannisters that are out now? I assume that the cannisters do a better job?

Thanks,

>The pleated cannisters give a lot more filter area so they allow for a lot more air flow with the same hp. I understand that the 1 micron bags really cut down on the airflow.

>Mark,

before spending the high $$$ to retro fit, check out Bill Pentz's website about building your own Filter Conversion.

It is on my to-do list.

>Seems like Mr. Pentz is saying you can't get there from here without the primary cyclone which I can't use because of footprint and ceiling height restrictions.

I have my DC in the garage pulling out of the basement shop. While yes, I do lose some heat in the winter, and yes am very mindfull of reverse-drafting and CO concerns, that configuration will have to do. Seems like I'm stuck with the bags.

>Mark,

If taken as a whole, Bill definately says that you need to have a big cyclone, but if you look at the bottom of the page I sent you, he shows how to build your own cartridge for a regular old DC.
