I know there have been many discussions on the need and performance of air cleaner/purifiers. However, I believe that it will help clean the air in my shop.
My plan is to build my unit using a squirrel cage fan from a Jenn-Air kitchen fan, installed in a 16"x16"x20" box. I plan is to us 2 layers of 1" semi quality pre-filters which will slide into dados in the box.
My question is, what do you all think about instead of using an expensive hepa filter as my final filter, to rig up a bracket on the end of the squirrel cate fan? I would then use a piece of all-thread screwed into the bracket and install a shop vac type hepa filter onto the all-thread, thus reducing my cost of expensive 16"x20" hepa filter, to just the (still costly) shop vac type hepa filter?
Thanks for any and all opinions.
