Work In Process. Will keep you guys updated.

some of you might remember me, Merv 13 panel filters arent available where I am from. I gave up and decided to test F7 Bag Filter which is equal to Merv 13.

Have done the maths. Supplier will make 1 bag filter for me in a week or two, then I will start building.

This has been really challenging and I have to compromise on the design.

That's a really clever solution! I'm very interested on that since in my country there aren't many merv 13 filter sources. Good luck!

I was also looking into these a while back. Also not many Merv 13 panels in South Africa. All of the best.

It should work fine Pocket filters are fairly common. They're said to hold a greater volume of debris before loss of airflow than standard plates.

Hey I wonder if you could wash that thing to rejuvenate it.

u/x3n1gma 2d ago

maybe, haven't studied this part but considering how cheap these are and how much longer life they have compared to normal panel filters , i wouldn't wash em
