JET AFS-1000B 550/702/1044 CFM 3 Speed Air Filtration System

The JET AFS-1000B 550/702/1044 CFM 3 Speed Air Filtration System with Remote and Electrostatic Pre-Filter definitely does a terrific job, is relatively quiet, and it mounts easily to the ceiling. As a good filtration system is as important as any tool in your shop the Jet AFS-1000 is a pretty inspired machine and perfect for any shop, garage. This system uses a two-filter process: an outer filter removes particles up to 5 microns in size and an inner three-pocket filter traps particles as small as 1 micron. The electrostatic outer filter easily withstands three or four washings, and the inner filter can be blown clean easily with compressed air.

On the power end, Jet's three-speed, 1/6-horsepower motor filters to 1044 cfm on high speed. The outer filter is well sealed and provides efficient intake. However, what really sets the AFS-1000 apart from most filtration systems is its remote control and timer features. The timer, which can also be set via remote, affords you the option to set it and forget it. The filters are easy to change -- just flip four clips and pull out the filter. The machine is also fairly lightweight, making it easier to mount.
