Sorrry for bumpin such a old post but im buildin one unit like this and just after order that same blower that WW suggest the 1TDR7 485CFM at 0.0" of SP i realized that doesent make any sense!!  The Astrocell I 24x24x11.5 has a resistance of 0.9 plus the prefilter we should be around 1.1" of static pressure and this means that this job should be done by waaaay bigger fan!?! I have a Hurricane vortex inline fan of 8" that delivers 760cfm at 0.0 sp....what do you guys think??

did you find any info on using such a thick filter? i am interested. Im still looking for a filter myself and was wondering what you found out.

Wow this thread is back. There has been some debate as to whether or not the 1TDR7 blower fan I chose was big enough for the filter. At one point awhile back my brother got drunk and blacked out. During his blackout he smashed the shit out of the 1TDR7 blower with a bat. Once that happened I had to replace the blower. I ended up replacing the 1TDR7 with a 1TDT2. The 1TDT2 delivers 549 cfm@0. I updated the blower change on the tek in my journal awhile back. I didn't even remember that this thread was around. I guess I should let everyone know that I changed the blower out. Thank you for reminding me.

WW does that, he pops up every now and then, you'll see 

 I do tend to do that. I didn't even remember that this thread was still here.

I can't believe so many people buy Astroll 1 24x24x11.5. The filter is design for filtering rooms. It's not for laminar air flow work stations. The filter is 1000 cfm. @ 1.wg (water gauge) 12 inches is just to deep and doesn't have the resistance as the 6 inch deep filter that delivers 584cfm.@ 1.
Bigger is not better.
Astrocel 1 NUCLEAR GRADE Clean Room 24x24x11.5 HEPA Air Filter 1000 CFM Ratings: 1000 CFM @ 1.0 in. w.g.
RR Note: Some of the newer HEPA filters flow higher than we want at 1" of static pressure. In these cases, you need to run at a lower static pressure, because you really don't want more than 100 feet per minute leaving your hood.
Based on the specs above, I'd go with the 6" deep filter because it has higher resistance. The resistance is what helps achieve laminar flow by creating pressure on the back side of the filter. If every inch of the back side is under pressure, the air flows smoothly out the front side.
I'd go with the 6" filter and a blower rated at 450 cfm @ 1" W.G.

Yes I'm sure your filter works..
Are you getting a true laminar air flow?
You need in the neighborhood of 1" wg in the plenum to achieve laminar air flow.
Without a true laminar airflow the air velocity will not be the same throughout the face of the filter creating turbulence that will suck contaminates into the work area. I'm estimating you have .4 to .5 wg....
So I'm suggesting to people to do the homework first before they start buying stuff. Know what sp (static pressure) and wg (water gauge) is.
One more suggestion.. If your planning on building your laminar flow hood. Paul Stamets company Fungi Perfecti has already made filter/blowers units. See what filter and blower match up that they are using.. call their 800 number or email them.
