Tyvek as flowhood prefilter?
    #23935448 - 12/17/16 01:32 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Can't find any good prefilters where I live.  Would it be ok if I cut some coveralls and used them as prefilter on my blower?

I think that would not work because tyvek lets such an extremely small of air come through at a time, ever try blowing through tyvek?
As a pre-filter almost anything works, huge polyfil filters are great. I even used actual air conditioner filters, the green recyclable type.

It has to allow large volumes of air to pass through while picking up dust and stuff at the time time, tyvek doesn't fit that criteria.

If air conditioning is a thing where you live then I am absolutely sure
you have ac filters and furnace filters at some store near you. Use one
of those, Tyvek probably has way too much static pressure, although I am
definitely not an authority on the subject :lol:

I actually have never tried that .)  Guess you're right.  Will try to find a furnace filter or something like that.

Ofc AC is a thing here but end-user stores usually don't sell spare parts, repair services of brands have those.  I'll try calling them directly then.

Some kind of anti-allergenic filter would do then?

No dude, what I mean is that any store, literally any store worth a damn,
carries ac/furnace filters. If you can't find them, you may not be looking
hard enough. If you live in an apt. complex, go up to the office and ask
for a couple and they will give them to you, they are usually the cheap
kind but layered up they may work fine.

Just go to a local hardware store or grocery store and ask for them, I
would be really surprised if they didn't have any anywhere, even for a
country like Turkey :cheers:

if worst comes to worst, make a frame of some sort and stuff it with
cotton balls/polyfil haha

It's really funny how different our countries are and how you can't even imagine it lol no offense

I went to one of the biggest hardware stores in my city today and found nothing.  As I said, they don't have those in stores meant for end-users, guess I'll try finding a store who sells to business owners or something.  I really envy how you people have a store for this and a store for that; or how you just go to walmart and find whatever you want .)

and wtf is an apartment complex office lol

An apartment is a giant building with individual living quarters for
people to rent out. Usually in said complexes, there is a main office.

How can you say ac filters are not sold to end-users? How does anyone
in your country change a filter then? Are you telling me that all of
Europe has somehow invented a filterless ac unit that we here in the
states are just not using for some reason? Or do you guys seriously have
to call a repair man to replace a filter every time it gets dirty, cause that's crazy.

I still hold true to my belief that you are just not looking hard enough
They look like this. You can even find them online for cheap


Sorry if I sound like a dick, not trying to, just trying to help you
find what you need.

I know what an apartment complex is, ones without offices though (even if they did have offices I doubt that they'd hand out filters)

Crazy but true, unless you take the time to go to the industrial part of the town or find a store meant for business owners (which usually does bulk sales).

We usually use AC's in summers only anyway, it's not a big thing here.

No man, not at all.  It's fun to see the cultural differences.  I'm sure I'll find one online or convince a store that does bulk sales to business owners to sell me a single one.  Thanks for replies .)

People sure do spend money on services that they really don't need.  They're too lazy to go find a place that sells spare parts and learn how to change them.

I even saw a phone store offering to update people's iphones to the latest iOS for a price.

Actually they are also called furnace filters so...

Apartment complex offices DO hand out filters because their tenants need
to change their damn filters every once in a while! I still find it
incredibly hard to believe that no one in Turkey changes their furnace
filters without going to some weird industrial complex

Right haha

Man I would be so pissed if I had to call a guy to come change my
filter every time it gets dirty. I mean I change mine almost monthly
because I live in a state with a high allergen spore/pollen load.

I'd be pissed if I had to have some random dude in my house changing
filters for me every month :lol:

Turkey, despite the recent happenings, is semi first world. There's hospitals, theres stores, residences, apartments. Anyone with fan forced heating or cooling uses a filter. Turkey has filters for ventilation.
Unless turkey is entirely powered in winter by radiators and in summer cooled with only fans...

I don't think no one changes their filters every month here, maybe once every two-three years.  It's not a big thing here, we don't use AC that much.

That is actually true lol, in winter almost everyone uses radiators powered with natural gas and in summer only people with above average income use AC at their homes.
