/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Thanks to this thread I was inspired to do the same, however I am from the UK so finding the right stuff to work with was a pain.

But then I discovered my Henry vacuum comes with HEPA filter bags. So I cut it up, folded several times to increase surface area, then taped onto a fan. Glue gun was used throughout to seal all the seams between fabric/tape so it's absolutely air tight. I removed the unneeded front grill since it only added resistance and since it's not a fan any more it doesn't need directionality.

Performance is simply great in all possible ways. Great air filtration, great air flow, low noise. Perhaps looks a bit strange but at least it's done neatly. I should have flipped the filter to the other side though to match it's original purpose but I doubt it matters much if at all.

Thanks for this thread OP. Once you go filter you will never unfiltered air again.

Total cost 20 quid, plus tape.
