what is the maximum square footage this one will handle and should it be in the center of the room ?
BEST ANSWER: My first shop was 30 x 40' and it worked very well. Now I use it in a standard 2 car garage primarily to keep dust down and not have things covered in dust after I saw/turn/etc. If you have questions Jet will be very helpful! I can't post the phone number but just Google it for the number. You will get lots of help. As far as mounting they suggested that I put it off center- not in the middle of the shop or garage. Hope this helps!

I work in a 60x40 barn with a 12 foot ceiling. However, I mainly only use the back 20x20 area for wood working. Would this filter be enough for that back area?
BEST ANSWER: II think it would. my woodworking room is 12 by 24 with 9 foot ceiling. it clears the room out in about 5 minutes from a very dusty condition. it was easy to install I hung it from the ceiling. I haven't had it too long but I'm well satisfied with it so far

Can anyone confirm for me if the 2/4/8 hour timer settings can be selected from the panel's power on/off button? I can adjust the timer settings with the remote but it seems odd that the speed can be changed from panel buttons but then you have to go get the remote to set the timer. I'm wondering if mine has failed somehow.
BEST ANSWER: Mine also works the way you described. My unit is mounted on a high ceiling so I have always used the remote. Consequently, I never noticed this oddity.

Is there a Hepa certified filter for this unit?
BEST ANSWER: Not that I am aware of. I go to Lowe's and buy 2 furnace filters that I tape over the air intake of my unit. It takes out all of the big chunks before it hits the regular filters. I then vacuum these filters with my shop vac after each day's use. I love it, especially with the shut off timers and variable speeds.

how loud is this unit, compared to?
BEST ANSWER: Low speed is very quiet and I generally run it while doing hand tool work. On high it's louder but I'm usually running a sander so the noise isn't that notable from the air filter. I love my unit and use it in a 20 x 20 garage.

Can this unit be mounted on a wall rather than the ceiling (I have a rather high ceiling and it would be difficult for me access)?
BEST ANSWER: Don't know about a wall but I also have a high ceiling in my basement shop (9ft+). I installed hooks in the ceiling joists, placed the Jet system on saw horses, ran chains from the hooks to the Jet system. Then, with a helper supporting the system from below, I mounted a ladder and pulled the unit up by the chains ( a little at each corner at a time) until it was suspended at the height I wanted. I had some excess chain which I removed with a bolt cutter. So far so good
Hope this helps.

Would this filtration system work in my garage with four dog kennels set up for four dogs max? I have Mitsubiti mini split air condition system. I have a dehumidafier running at 40%. Would your system work to get rid of dog dander etc and circulate the air?
BEST ANSWER: It should work fine. I agree with Carol D. You should add a filter to pre-filter and save on the cost of replacing the Jet filter. You may also need to add some sort of pre-filter to your mini split to keep the fine dander and dust from infiltrating the standard filter.

Few things have made a more positive influence on my shop like this air filtration system. I have a mobile shop in my 24' x 24' x 10'h garage both cars go in every night, and the impact of this has been fabulous for 3 reasons1)A dramatic reduction in the dust that settles back in and around the shop, and most importantly that tracked into the house.2) Using this, some plastic "curtains" to block off a 15' x 15' area in the center of the shop I have effectively created a spray booth in my shop. As an example, I sprayed oil based polyurethane in my shop this weekend when it was 45 outside. I used a sacrificial cheap house filter over the outer filter to catch sticky overspray a problem with poly and the results were spectacular and nothing is sticky.3) The unit being located on the ceiling does a great job of keeping the air circulating making my "greenhouse style" heater work significantly better.Oh, and I have also found that there are several brands of sub $5.00 12" x 24" x 1" furnace filters that work very well as a replacement for or supplement to the outer filter. This makes the unit very cheap to operate.Buy one, you will be glad.

Jet 1000CFM Air Filtration System with Remote
I have been using the filter for about a month. It definitely removes a significant amount of small particles as evidenced by the amount of dust captured by the filter. The filter is ceiling mounted in my garage. This unit must weigh about 50 pounds which makes installation tricky for a one man install. My solution was to first install hooks in the ceiling, then sit the filter on a portable table, then attach chains long enough to reach the filter from the ceiling to each corner of the filter. Then S hooks can be used to attach the filter to the chain. The filter can then be lifted, one corner at a time, so that the S hook can be attached to a higher link on the chain using a ladder for the higher levels. The process took about 20 minutes for a 71 year old man to walk the unit up to the ceiling.
I am very pleased with installation and effectiveness of the filter.

Excellent Value
Shop for a sale , it's well worth it, and you'll breathe easier.
If your spouse give you a hard time about spending money on dust collection systems, tell him or her that this will help make sure you'll be around a bit longer (assuming this is a persuasive argument in your family). At least this argument worked for me.
I suggest using this for secondary filtration. I agree with the pro's that the best way to capture dust is at the source, which is why I have a high powered, cyclonic dust system as my primary dust remover.
However, it's often difficult, if not impossible, to capture all the dust at the source, in which case, this ambient filter provides an efficient method for getting rid of what the cyclonic dust collector misses. Examples include the fine dust from large sanding projects and blowing sawdust off of tools using an air compressor.
I purchased the optional, washable filter, for about $45. Over the long haul, this is less expensive than purchasing throw-away outer filters, which will go quickly.
It's best to install it near the ceiling. (The unit has four eye bolts for this purpose, although you'll need a friend to help with the heavy lifting during the initial installation.)
The remote is handy, allowing for "on/off", three speed operation and setting the automatic timer to shut off after 2, 4 or 6 hours.
There are other units on the market. I selected this one because the ratio of the cubic feet per minute rating to the price made this purchase decision a no brainer.

This unit was heavier and more...
This unit was heavier and more awkward to handle than I thought. I put four eye bolts in my shop ceiling and used a simple rope system to lift it up and clipped it there with 4 small carabiners.One problem I had was the unit was not shipped with the remote control nor the eyebolts to hang it with. I wrote Rockler and after a phone call for the serial number I got a package in the mail a few days later with a remote, nuts, washers and two eyebolts. I went to my local hardware store and bought two more eyebolts. The ones from Jet are 6mm or 1/4" fine thread. I could not find this size so i forced in the course thread. Easy to do in the aluminum nutsert on the unit. Now I have a filter in my shop and I love it. I can already tell how much cleaner the air is. Nice machine JET! If you don't have an air filter you need to get this one! You will not be disappointed!

I'm quite happy with this air filter. My shop is 30 by 24 and it works wonderful!
The filters are easy to replace and available in nearl every hardware store. It is easy to operate and will operate without the remote. At my shop size of 30 by 24, medium speed works great. Only on extreme sanding jobs do I need to run it on high.

better air=goood
Bought on sale, it has proved to be a great filter, eliminating fine dust from the shop. The remote control is a good accessory to have. It is a little on the heavy side, you should plan on some help to install it. Hanging it from 's' hooks is not a good option--screwing it to the roof system, into rafters or a piece of plywood or boards screwed to the rafters is the way to go IMO. Plan on the outlet to plug it into being fairly close, the cord is not overly long.

I mounted the unit near the ceiling in my workroom and it worked great for a couple weeks. Then it quit. The solid state board was bad. I called the company and they promptly sent me a replacement. The unit has worked fine ever since. It works great for removing the fine sanding dust out of my work room.
