Smart Vent

Roofsafe

This is a picture I took of a SVII filter after six years on the roof, this filter was typical of all the filters. It was on my roof and I wanted to check it out before I sold the building, from inside the attic it looked fine, rom the roof I couldn't really tell, so I took it off, this is what I found. I pulled the filters from the rest and put vents in without the filter.

As for the smart vent, I have found the card board type vents plug up even without a filter, so, with the filter on the smart vent, how would you know if it was plugged up? you can't see inside the filter?

Dust or any matter that is able to be picked up in the wind, including pollutants, in my opiniun is small enough to go between the fibers of the filters. Since the filters are made to allow air through to the inside those particles are small enough to be carried inside as well, bigger particles catch on the filter and collect, that is the job of the filter, to collect.
The tube, created by the plastic cardboard material in smart vent and all the other similar vents all create static electricity from the warm moist air flowing through them, that creats a magnet for the particles being carried by the air. After a while that becomes an accumulation that builds to the point of a plug, the filter on the smart vent just hides what is being done inside the tubes, and no one is the wiser, what you can't see, doesn't mean it isn't there.

Well, guys, you can try my profile and see if you can view my album, if not I know I can post pics on the National Roof Group Forum, it's a members only forum but it's a lot easier to post pics there than here. At least for me.
