Don't you want the filter on the incoming side? Air handling systems always put the filter on the inlet as far as I'm aware.

- darpa_escapee 8y agoThe filters are also designed to have air pulled through them. There's often an electrostatic component that ties into a filter's efficacy, as well.
- sbradford26 8y agoThe main reason why furnaces and cars have it on the incoming side is because the dust and particulate can damage the engine/blower. So you want to filter it out before it reaches there. In a system like this, the box fan will not be damaged by the particulate so you can instead push the air through the filter instead of pull it.
