Personal filtration archive

Everyday filtration media studied closely

A domestic catalog documenting fiber density, pleated surface geometry, and liquid barriers. We evaluate real replacement bags and air cassettes under natural light.

Core archives

Three distinct capture methods

Each medium approaches particulate capture differently, balancing pore density, static friction, and housing airflow resistance.

Synthetic fleece
Cellulose & glass
Liquid suspension

Multi-ply vacuum bags

Pleated air panels

Water-bath barriers

Accordion-folded filter media maximize surface area within compact air handler slots, trapping ambient spores without straining motor fans.

Hydro-assisted filtration pulls room dust through agitated water reservoirs, eliminating exhaust pores altogether through liquid entrapment.

Spunbond polymer layers capture microscopic pet dander while maintaining suction across loaded collection chambers.

Workshop ethos

Domestic air quality starts with physical pore density

Clean indoor airflow is a tactile, mechanical reality determined by seam bonding, fiber diameter, and regular household upkeep.

Fiber pore analysis

Collar and seal testing

Static airflow balance

Inspecting weave uniformity and meltblown strata under raking side light to verify particulate trapping without premature surface blinding.

Measuring rubber gasket resilience and collar cardboard rigidity to ensure zero bypass leakage inside domestic vacuum chambers.

Recording static pressure drop across clean and loaded media inside standard living rooms to confirm fan motor compatibility.
