I cleaned a pleated HEPA filter for my vacuum cleaner.

I want to dry it out.

I ran 70% IPA thru it to draw out the moisture, but it still has some residual moisture in it after 2 days.

Any other ideas to try?

Would putting it in the fridge for maybe a week help since the fridge does a good job of drying out food. :-)

Thanks,

Rinse it out with a cup of Everclear and let it air dry.

Some are totally ruined by water washing. They "deform" and basically
permanently plug up. I've had the same problem with a simple
automotive air filter. Wash the dust out, dry it - even using a hair
drier - and NO air gets through it afterwards.


Clare is a man's name?


Pleasance is a moulie's name. So is La Edmund.
