>Bob,

If the ratings are the manufacturer's ratings vs. an independant lab's, be a little suspicious. To determine the advertized particle size, some manufactures will load up the inside of the bag to the point where airflow is significantly impacted to get their rating.

Check out Bill Pentz's site if you haven't - eye opening to say the least.

Gidday,

Jim

>I just purchased a bag model Jet 1100 1.5 hp collector and the Wynn Environmental 0.5 micron cannister filter, recommended by Bill Pentz, for less than the price of the Jet cannister model. I would have gone with the 0.5 micron filtration even if had cost more.
