Hey Guys,
I bought one of them mobile portable paint booths for doing small items. In process of getting it all setup and finalized.
Attached is a picture of it. There is a 10'x10'x8' curtain system that goes around it that I still have to install.
The unit is a 4 stage filtration, that recycles the air so you don't have to vent it. The overspray/fumes get sucked in via the bottom of the unit through (3) GFS Wave filters. Behind the wave filters are (3) Galvanized 20x20x2 frames that you fill up with granular carbon. I think it uses Coconut Carbon that you buy in bulk online. Each frame holds about 12 lbs of carbon each. The air comes out the top and passes through (2) filters. The first filter is a 55 or 65 Series Intake booth filter, then a pleated 20x20x2 Activated Charcoal filter. Its got an explosion proof 21" fan with sealed hazardous 2HP motor. I think it does 7500 CFM.
It works really well, i've tested it out spraying the nastiest stuff I can find and there is no smell at all...
My question is the unit did not come with a Manometer. I ordered a Dwyer Mark II manometer. I never used a booth before so I am not 100% familiar with them. I have to run (2) tubes I beleive before and after the filter. On a setup like I have which is not a tradional booth, where would you run the tubes to get the pressure at? Do I run one inside the lower ventilation area, then stick the other unit infront of the intake filters at the bottom? But would overspray get sucked into the tube if I did that way? Or do I actually need (2) Manometers, one for both top and bottom?
