I am being told that the water pressure is higher than it should be for the entire house so it is normal that this valve did not do well when pushed to the limits
If lowering the pressure fixed the problem I don't see why that won't count as a diagnostic.
I am not sure why we are so interested...
Lowering the pressure solved the problem.
If I bought the entire assembly again it would have been a complete waste as I would have faced the same problem
I have been testing this for the last two days and it all looks good.
Pressure reducing valve details and components used to attach it to...
So why is it working if I lower the pressure? Is the voltage/amps/power required to open the valve corelated with the water pressure appliedto the valve?
I have a smart toilet (Ove Stan) that is built using this valve
Here is the valve manufacturer page but I can't say exactly which one of those is my valve.

It is acting strange as described below
I called the toilet...
Many garages around here were built back duri the 60s and they do not fit the today shops. No ventilation was required back then
There is lots of first hand eperiences shared on line about this setup and it seems that even with an inverted floe these work great no dust
MOst of the workshops for hobbysts like me are set in a garage
Exhausting air outside will create negative pressure in a garage that does not have a lots of openings to get new fresh air in and it will create heating problems over the winter
The advantage I see with a pullthrough setup is that if the blue container (filter housing) loses pressure it will suck clean air in at most
IF the system is a push through then dusty air will get out of the container through whatever weak points the filter housing has
Buying an off the shelf...
And here is what ChatGPT is saying about it
Is it better for a dust collector to suck air through the filter or to push air through the filter
ChatGPT
For a dust collector, it is generally better to have the air flow in a configuration where it sucks air through the filter rather than pushing...
@LittleInch
I would still have the system blowing air through the filter not "sucking it" through]
This is what the truck does, right ? It sucks air through the filter
Of course I could imagine a way to blow air through the filter as well
If you ask me the current setup of the Harbor...
Well ...I am not that good, not sure where I implied that
However I would consider the idea.
It all comes down to finding an appropriate garbage can or other type of plastic recipient
This would be the setup
Yes cutting and milling, not much sanding for me
If the CFM decreases due to reversed airflow I am OK I think the DC is well under what the filter can support even if reversed
If the air filtration performance goes down then that is wasted money ....
Biggest problem right now for me is that the...
Don't know what to say ..the experience shows that there is lots of woodworkers using these without any visible problems and with a much better performance than the stock bag
Yeah these are designed for a out to in flow while the woodworking requires the opposite.
These have been used by the community for years and I have not heard or red about this to be a problem although they are aware of the difference
In your opinion how could that impact the performance of the...
You guys have very good points
Here is some data, measurements done with a 0.5microns filter, the equivanlent of P181038
Source of the data and how it was measured and calculated/aproximated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjKLIa9vyi4&ab_channel=TheSnekkerShow
So based on your comments it...
You sound like a fortune teller not like an engineer
0.5 microns is MUCH better that 5 microns.
Microns are microns either for a truck engine or for human lungs
If the Dust Collector was approved to be sold on the american market with a 5 micron bag without being considered a threat to the user...
Update: I found this PDF document -on page 13 EBB filters (like P181099) are rated up to 1650CFM while P181038 is an SRG filter which is rated way above 2050CFM ...
Here is their chart; if you search the above doc for the two models you will find the type of filter for each (EBB and SRG)
So...
I have this Dust Collector (wood working)
The filter is 5microns and my garage all covered in dust because of the inefficiency of this filter.
I have been using a 3M respirator when the things got really bad and I did a lot of work (this is a DIY workshop)
I am now trying to replace the...
