>>6314228>I honestly don't know if the hose actually helps. The filter doesn't seem to suck up enough air to even have something end up going through the hose.The hose doesn't appear to be helping because that Badger spray booth appears to have the the wrong kind of fan for the purpose. It uses an axial fan, which moves air at a high rate but at *low pressure.* It needs a centrifugal fan. See pic.
A spray booth needs to have a properly rated centrifugal fan which moves air at higher pressure in order to overcome the static pressure created in a restricted air system. Any amount of flexible hose makes the problem even worse due to greatly increased turbulence.
