Compared to not using a filter, for sure. The static pressure on the
inner bag filters is pretty large. Mine are ripping away from their
attachment points on the frame. However, even this much seems small compared
to losses ducting it into a dryer vent hose, as I read you mention
elsewhere. A powered exhaust vent set into the wall might do just as well.
Maybe move the air cleaner close to and pointed at the vent, and whatever
makes it out will be good enough. You might also consider venting the DC
outside, but that has its own set of problems.

Good point...
I'm looking at using a table saw DC fitting, which just covers the grill on the
exhaust side, and running about 30" of 4" DC hose to the dryer vent, which would
be near the ceiling..

We were originally going to use a bathroom type vent unit, but the hassle of
running power to it just isn't worth it..

I'm thinking that the advantage of the Jet unit over the wall unit is that it's
in the middle of the room, mounted on the ceiling and that it's already there..
