Reduction in presure?

Post by Pesser » Sun Jun 01, 2014 1:33 pm

Does the presure reduce when adding a disposable filter in a PR60?

I don't think so; I've never noticed it if it does. Why do you ask?

The filters are not only not in contact with the working part of the machine, but have nothing at all to do with it. Nothing. Unless of course you don't use them and the innards eventually start clogging up with dust, etc.

So this means that the requested delivery of 10mcH20 is done by the algorithm inside the machine and if any furthur air is required the unit increases its intake. Or do it?
