See if you can find a cleaner with this stuff in it. Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (DEGBE)
It is in a lot of floor cleaners or de-greasers. This stuff will break tar down on contact and is the best I’ve found. If you soak a bag filter in this stuff, Im sure it would clean it. I used it for cleaning the marbles from the old filters and had a hard thick coating of tar / soot accumulation. Soaking them for an hour broke down this shell of crud and returned to new again.
So whipped up the coarse filter bag out of the felt. So there will be two stages first stage is the 100 micron felt and this will have the Purple Power pumped thru it, Then the Silica Cloth will be in the second stage tower. I can only guess but I think that silica cloth is going to filter at around 200 to 300 microns. There should be foam carried over from the first stage but I may run the pump thru this tower as well if there is not enough saturation of the cleaner.
Have any of you been able to test the new filter?
Am curious about if and how it works with fabric filters.
