Furnace filter for spores
    #21607477 - 04/28/15 04:13 AM (9 years, 22 days ago)

I was wondering if one of the 5 or 6 stage washable furnace filters they sell on eBay would be effective for protecting my f.a.e. heat exchanger and ducting from ouster mushroom spore build up. Planning on having a thousand filter patch bags of oysters fruiting in there, so I'm going to be doing a lot of filter changing I suspect.
A filter like this I'm thinking, or maybe a few in parallel.

I dont have personal experience with filtering air for spores but that kind of filter seems like it could significantly reduce the sporeload..... plus it's more of a permanent solution.

The site didnt say much about how small of particles it would filter out specifically but to be used in hospitals and pharm labs it must be pretty dang good for air filtration.:wink:

It will clog very fast so be prepared to change often and make everything easy to take apart and clean.

Yea I will be happy if it will run a week before needing cleaning once I have things really going.
Hopefully this kind isn't so fine it plugs faster than that.

I suspect you'll have to clean it daily. We use regular window screen on our exhaust vents and need to clean them every other day.
