DIY SUPER EFFECTIVE HEPA FILTER AIR SCRUBBER

Hi, my name is Moe.

You may know me, or you may just be finding me and my pages. I’m all about what works. It should look fancy, but it doesn’t have to. I work hard so that the work I do always equates to elite level performances. Whether it’s a navy seal, or an NFL player making the winning play at the super bowl, both are executed at high levels, and I strive to do the same. (Not to say that the NFL is even remotely on the same page as the marines, navy seals, etc!).

I came up with this style of filter years ago. Someone called me up to sell me a $1,200 air scrubber. “Perfect for construction jobs, negative pressurizing the home”, etc. I almost bit the bait. He lost out by not qualifying me as a customer and following up. I’m sure Mr Grant Cardone (legendary sales trainer, speaker, and writer) will scold him for being an amateur. Long story short, I decided to make my own. I ordered a round filter, and I came up with a big idea of using a 5 gallon bucket with removable legs made from black pipe.

Dan Holohan once said, how do you know who’s an engineer and who’s a regular individual? Ask them how the pickle got into the bottle. An engineer will say that someone created a vacuum and sucked the pickle in, or dehydrated the pickle, put it in the bottle and then rehydrated. A plain person will tell you that someone poked a baby cucumber into a bottle, let it mature, cut it off the bush, pickled the cucumber and now you have a pickle in a bottle.

Fast forward, the materials for my design are still in the shop. I came up with a simpler idea. Place a 20 inch x 20 inch 11 Merv or 13 Merv rated filter on the return of a basic box fan, turn it on and leave it! For high dust go into high speed. For maintenance mode, just keep it on low.

You can use this for post construction clean up, basements, shops, arts and crafts studios, working on HVAC in an attic, etc.

Please comment or email me to let me know what you think. I would love to know if you had good success with this or if it was a total failure.
