HEPA filter dimension and durability.

HELLO...thinking in making a flow hood. i liked this video: she is using a hepa filter rated 99.97% efficiency and 24 x 14 x 11.5 inch dimension. how do you see it? looks like a bit small to me... I do not have a big mushroom production but 24 inch is 60 cm and looks like a bit small to work .... how do you think?
as the prices a pretty hight ( 24x24 i found for 400 usd ) , how long a hepa filter is lasting? using it 2 or 3 hours a week with prefilter ? thanks

It will last you 5+ years at that use.
5 7/8" thick filters are preferred. I get into why a little on this thread. They have twice the static pressure at 100fpm as a 11.5" pack plus they take up less space on the table.
14" is too short in my opinion, You will want 24" tall at least to be happy but I prefer 30" tall. All work should be done on a rack in the flowhood to lift the work out of the low pressure turbulent air on the work table. As far as width, 24-30" is minimum for comfort and 48" is maximum size that one person can even utilize. Stacking a bunch of stuff in front of the flowhood is not the best way to utilize it.

I'll have to check her out. I have a 2'x2' flowhood, love the thing. Ideally I'd have a 3'x4', but the 2x2 really isn't bad. I can pull off every procedure I've heard of. The only cramped procedure is bag to bag g2g. I've pimped my 2x2 out to maximize space efficiency. Compact stands/ hangers/magnets for an impulse sealer, torch, agar punch, LC gun, hot glue gun and a scalpel + a light. Thing does it all.

I read up on some builds then built my own. Rather similar to c10's build though. That thread was certainly really helpful.

I think he shoots thru the bags and hot glues the hole, I used to do that too. always fun when you shoot a random spot and cant find the hole but that's easily avoided haha.

 Yeah I fill that intake jar with LC, shoot up bags with the injector gun then seal up the hole with hot glue as it is conveniently sterile.
