BTW squirrel cage fans would use less power and spin faster if your filter gets clogged. It will move less air but the fan moves faster with less power usage.

When I was a young airmen on the aircraft carrier, I'd perform ventilation maintenance and our filters were stainless steel. You could easily see through the filters, they weren't anything special, but the vent shops would run the filters through a dishwasher, spray oil on them once they were dry and issue them back to us to install. This comment may not add any value to the content you've posted, but I thought others might find this interesting.

Great content! I've been in the HVACR industry going on 6yrs now. With most of my customer base being commercial hotel high rises, restaurants & storage facilities I've been using the blue filter media the last 4yrs. In the kitchens of restaurants, I find extreme conditions with additional grease and flower causing expensive repairs to the refrigeration equipment that are in close proximity to fryers and breading stations. I use the blue media as a disposable to protect the condenser coils and it most certainly helps when doing scheduled preventive maintenance, On the residential side whenever I install a new unit or have scheduled p.m. I use the cheapest fiberglass filters with a Merv rating below 4 and recommend customers change them whenever they pay the electric bill every month. I like the idea of implementing the orange media and the canola oil is a great idea when reusing. Should make the cleaning process easier. However, the commercial kitchens are so bad that I have no choice but to throw them away and replace them with new.

Dusty house no matter what filter your using,check the compartment or return air to system and make sure it’s not pulling unfiltered air into system. From the attic is one of the major offenders and under the walls of the return air compartment. A high MERV filter will cause a system to pull air from any source other than the filter,path of least resistance.

@michaelkaiser1864

getting too high of a merv is gonna reduce airflow (maybe change head pressure if too much). Finding a 4 merv is getting impossible locally. Getting 7's is tough to even order. In the harsh conditions you had in kitchens? You saved their butts for sure. Average homeowner? I don't think i'd do this in an older home and not with animals for sure. Folks will forget and pressures are gonna go stupid.

Good video for those that will do this and probably the best use of canola oil. When I did construction defect litigation, I often represented the HVAC contractor named in the suit. Homeowners would state low register airflow when HVAC was in operation. I'd go over to the return air for a look and observe the air filter almost black and being sucked into the duct. I'd ask the homeowner when they last changed the filter, and some didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I told them at this point they should have the system cleaned by a pro. What falls into the floor registers gets blown back out. There is filter material available for the registers.

I have been investigating my dust problem for a while now and what I discovered is that a large percent of dust does not come from the HVAC intake. It comes from the Human body as well as fibers from things like our clothing and blankets and stuff. But I was surprised to discover how much dust is really skin cells and dandruff. And it really only came to light when I bought a mesh fabric office chair. I noticed that the mesh was allowing all the stuff flaking off my body to accumulate on the underside and backside of the chair. A thick coating of dust. I realized it was not from the air but my body.

Great videos, thank you so much for all your knowledge and sharing. I spray a paper framed air filter with diluted Dawn (that I actually use when cleaning dishes which I have in a good quaiity Zep spray bottle from Lowes or Walmart). After allowing the water to dry, it leaves a thin tacky coating that will make the dust stick to it but still allow air to pass through. When the the filters get dirty, simply take them outside or your shower and after spraying it for 10-15 seconds, they are clean as good as new because of the Dawn coating you applied doesn't allow the dust to stick. In the shower, you can clearly see how much dirt had collected in it. Hang to dry on clothesline or hanger with binder ciips (in the shower overnight) and respray with diluted Dawn when ready. Allow water to completely evaporate before using. But, before using it, I treat the paper frame with a diluted waterproof wood glue with a cheap dollar store paint brush. I apply 2-3 coats (allowing each coat to dry in between). After completely dry, then I spray the filter pleats with diluted dawn solution to make it tacky for dust to stick when in use. Tip: Diluted Dawn also works great to flies and other bugs outdoors. Any bug with an exoskeleton diluted Dawn will kill it. Don't use it indoors as it can make floors slippery. This spray also works great when you have small areas of standing water to kill mosquito larvae as it disrupts surface tension which will drown them.

I always thought about rigging something like this up. This helps make it happen 👍👍

Just saw this, and am new to your channel. Subscribed. thanks for the info. 😊 My question, is there anything else that tacky stuff can be used for? Bcuz it seems to be that there's going to be a lot of the roll left over that'll be sitting there collecting dust.

Very interesting video. The Winix 5500 is a decent air purifier for the price but it is definitely NOT the best air purifier on the market by a long shot. There are many other solutions on the market that perform better than the Winix 5500 for particle filtration and odors/VOCs. Plus, it only accommodates smaller-sized rooms. I think the alternative HVAC filtration ideas with the sprays is interesting - and I would be very interested to see a 3rd party lab do a test on it and its performance vs. other MERV-rated filters. I have found that electrostatic solutions in general, are not too great for filtering particles, but, I'm open-minded and perhaps with the addition of the media and spray - they work much better. Thanks for "thinking outside the box".👍

I like your old channel Sweet Project also. Hey Mr KIA is there also a replacement for the big. 4 inch thick filters?

The older Jeep Liberty's don't have a cabin filter on the fresh air intake. Now I can make one. I was looking for something to keep a bluetooth headset from falling off. The tack spray should work for that too. Thanks.

My air handler in Florida is in a closet with the filter in the door. it has a frame where the disposable air filter goes. How do I add an additional inch of blue filter or the tack pink material on top of the regular disposable filter? The frame looks like it can only hold the 1 inch filter.

I am going to be purchasing the Winix 550 filter, question, what metal filter fit inside there? I noticed a link (but it must be not available anymore). Can you help with the brand or the size of the filter that fits in there? Thank you SO much!! I am looking forward to having cleaner air in our home for my son with a dust allergy.

Our furnace has great big accordian filters!

Hi. Thanks for making this. I’m about to make this change in my HVAC but just a suggestion, with many people asking in the comments on how to do it in their HVAC (what frame, how to mount, what direction the material, etc) maybe it would be great to see it implemented on an HVAC so people can get ideas on the frame and how to actually fit it in. I bought the reusable filters from Home Depot and the orange media from Amazon. I have a 4” and a 1” spot on my hvac and thinking the 4” spot might work but not sure how to mount the media to the filter so it stays. Clips? Anything better?

hello Alex if i am understanding you correctly maybe not but yes the pre filter is placed before the main filter and that would be on the intake side of your main filter...the white side is always facing you this way you can better see when it is time to wash it. if i did not answer your question well you can email pics to us at sweetprojectcars@gmail.com thanks Guru Mike

If both filter medias are 1 inch thick, how would you get them to fit in a 1 inch deep HVAC filter compartment and successfully closing the vented door without issue? I know my 1 inch filter fits snug already without any room to spare.

There are cleanable reusable air filters for vehicles, why not the home. Never thought about it!

The aluminum filter goes in first then the orange filter white side facing down. As for changing them I go every 30 days or when visibly dirty whichever comes first.

Remember my friend, believe it or not, those filters are like a pool filter, the dirtier they are, the better the filtration you get. Now with that being said, most filters that you put in your furnace have to be replaced every 30 days, you can easily go 45 to 60 days before pulling these out and cleaning them saving you time and money. Now if you have a lot of dust and pet hair etc you may choose to clean them sooner than that. The aluminum filter goes in first followed by this material amzn.to/3Ff9XnO Thank you for watching, have a great day my friend. Guru Mike

If I buy the reusable metal filter, I don’t think it will fit in the filter slot. The disposable filters seem to take up almost the entire slot . How do you get around the size issue of the permanent filter plus the home made added width? Regarding the comments about restricting air flow using this method, you explained it very clearly. Home made or store bought, dirty filters restrict flow, not how they are made, unless you use the wrong MERV rating. Thank you for your video!
