My vacuum filter. I took a 12" of 3"pvc took some fiberglass insulation sans paper on each end filling with activated carbon between the insulation and the 2 pipe caps threaded with 1/2 " npt
I do vacuum bagging of e- glass and carbon fiber and did not want to spend $175 + to keep voc's out of my pump

Finish what you started and you WILL be SUCCESSFUL....

Hey panhandle, whats your progress with this project ? Did you proceeded with this pump ? I think you must have gone through some important facts during the completion. You did not posted any progress report here after your first post. I am in a kind of mood to start a project to make a ground surce heat pump . Hope I'll be successful. I'll be posting my progress here time to time.
