How to clean inner filter 708733?
BEST ANSWER: I haven't owned the filtration system long enough to have to consider maintenance on it. But if I am thinking clearly I believe they aren't meant to be cleaned but replaced.
I am thinking possibly removal and use compressed air to back flow. I would believe it could possible damage it if done so.

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

what is the maximum square footage this one will handle and should it be in the center of the room ?
BEST ANSWER: I Have about 850 square foot shop. It does just fine. I did go to my local home improvement store and bought some filters to PRE filter everything and catch the big chunks. I put mine offcenter in an area that I think will have the most dust, nearer to my dust making tools.

Does this unit plug into an outlet, or does it need to be hard wired by an electrician?
BEST ANSWER: The unit just plug into an outlet. I used a ceiling plug but a heavy duty extension cord could be used. Use the remote to turn on and off and to adjust the speed low, med and high. Works great but locate the unit so that air can circulate.

BEST ANSWER: I suppose that you can, not sure why that would be necessary. I have mine running while I am in my shop which at times is 8 hours or so. I usually set the timer to run for a period of time after I leave the shop!

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.

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.

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.

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 an intermediate woodworker/hobbyist with a small setup in the basement. My shop is about 30'x30' and despite meticulously using a shop-vac with my tools I had a serious issue with small to fine dust everytime I worked on a project. I recently reorganized all my tools! hand and power, onto multiple peg boards for accessibility which made it all the more necessary to minimize the dust. The install was a breeze! I opted to hang it from the ceiling joists. Have been using it for the past few weeks, using the timer option and so far there is no accumulation of dust anywhere. This product works far better than I'd hoped for, the noise is barely noticeable on low & medium. If you have hearing protection in then it's even difficult to hear it on high. The unit was in perfect working order out of the box, the included hardware is solid, the remote is a HUGE plus. It's also great knowing that I can easily find the 12x24 outer filter at home improvement stores making it easy to supplement the included exterior filter. All in all this has been the BEST addition to my workshop thus far, the cherry on top was the sale price I was able to take advantage of. Well worth the money, I don't think I'd have minded paying the full price based on how well it works. Thanks Jet & Rockler, no more dusty glasses or tools!!

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.
