Filters Vs. Bags
Thinking ahead... I am about to build an enclosure for my Hares and Forbes DC-7 and was wondering if there is any real gain to be had by replacing the standard bag with filters, and if there is, where are people getting them from?
I figure now is the time to design it to suit the filters, if I wind up using them.

Pleated filters
0- can take up less room
- take a bit longer to clog up than bags.
- Can be cleaned in situ with the collection bags on so there is less mess
- Offer lower resistance to air flow so have a reduced back pressure and increased (~10%) flow.
If (or rather "when" as they all eventually do) they develop a leak they can be harder to fix than bags but if they are in an enclosure that doesn't matter all that much

Thanks for the insight Bob, any idea where to buy them this side of the country?
