HEPA Filter Question/ Fungi Perfecti sucks
#26963853 - 10/01/20 01:16 PM (3 years, 3 months ago) |

First off, fuck Fungi Perfecti! I ordered a 24x48 filter for a new flow hood I am building, and even though it's pretty expensive to go through them, I did it anyways cause of quicker shipping. But I just got an email saying that they are backordered and I can't get one for a month. This is after I already paid them $700. They really couldn't have just checked first to make sure they had them before charging me?? Now I gotta wait for the money to get back into my account... Sorry now I'm just venting.
But to my actual question. Obviously I have spent all morning trying to find another option for a filter and stumbled across this one on ebay, which is a great deal, but makes me a little wary. It looks like it was manufactured a while ago but it is supposed to be unused. Do y'all think that would be a problem?

The blower I have is the Dayton 1TDU2, which blows 1202 cfm

I have the same issue ordered almost 2 months ago from them and still have not got my filter yet wtf! I'm glad I'm not the only one I called last week and they said they are waiting on someone to come pick up the filter because it has to be shipped buy a transport truck because of weight and they don't want damages.... Honestly iv looked around and everyone has a shortage. Stupid covid!

I ordered a 24x48 through global industrial and received it in 5 days last week. Delivered in a box truck strapped to a pallet. Easy. Definitely recommend checking them out.

Hey is this the one you got?
https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/hvac/filters/HEPA-Filters/koch-filter-9999-biomax-hepa-24-inch-w-x-48-inch-h-x-5-7-8-inch-d
I noticed that it's saying 24 wide and 48 high, which would be a weird way to set up a flow hood haha, but do you know if it matters which way the filter sits, as long as the flow is going through the right way?

That is the one I bought... ended up being 580 shipped.

Well damn. I would have never thought of that. No returns so no going back now. What did you experience as the pleats began to sag?

Yeah it sucks. I mean I get that a company is allowed to run out of stock, but I feel like it should be confirmed that the product can arrive before any payment happens.
Also, bod, I'm wondering what you mean by the pleats being vertical. First example I could think of, but like here in Stonesun's build https://files.shroomery.org/files/09-45/734885043-DSC01428_1600x1200.jpg
Is that what you mean by vertical?
