Got a call from a friend, whose expensive Carrier furnace needed an
expensive filter.

Problem is, that size is about $175 my cost, at the parts house. About $75
Amazon dot com price.

But, the problem is no problem. Enough duct tape cures anything. Modify the
filter holder, and now it takes a standard size filter. Everyone (except
Carrier) is happy, now. More gas for the Ford Pinto.

Only Stormy and Anton remain after me being away from here for 2 years? wow,
few posts these days too. Had FIOS for 2 years, now back with Optimum
online, and can enjoy the fun again.


Re: Modified an air filter

I'm sure there are more. I downloaded the old messages, and a couple of
regulars have posted recently. PJM, The King, and a few others.

I miss Turtle. He was as bad as the rest, but there was a certain down home
sincerity about him.

Any bets on him not having taken before and after TESP and delta T readings
with this swap?  Hmm $75, sounds like he swapped a 4 or 5" media filter out
for a regular 1".

Does the filter holder look professional after you modified it ?
Modifying is sometimes necessary but its important to leave it looking
as nice as possible .

Re: Modified an air filter

Looks great. The only time anyone would see a difference is the man who
changes the filter, will see a length of board laying inside. You're right,
appearances are also important.
