On filtering cloudy liquid: think an N95 "dust mask" would work? - Oozing Goo - The Lava Lamp Syndicate2024-03-29T00:15:12Zhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/forum/topics/on-filtering-cloudy-liquid-think-an-n95-dust-mask-would-work?commentId=1566398%3AComment%3A356557&feed=yes&xn_auth=noCooooool-thanks Mr. MaGoo!

Geez, ok... I will try this in the a.m. Will bring a few N95's home and filter a cloudy lamp I have and see if it makes a difference.

<p>I've used those carbon filter bags for aquariums and they work very well,but I needed to give the filter some time to do it's job, remember these carbon filter bags are placed in aquarium pumps which took awhile 4 it to remove that awful methyline blue for removing different types fish diseases.That chemical made the water look like someone poured blue dye in the aquarium.A water filteration company owner told me the best way to filter water was to force feed it thru a solid carbon filter,…</p>
<p>I've used those carbon filter bags for aquariums and they work very well,but I needed to give the filter some time to do it's job, remember these carbon filter bags are placed in aquarium pumps which took awhile 4 it to remove that awful methyline blue for removing different types fish diseases.That chemical made the water look like someone poured blue dye in the aquarium.A water filteration company owner told me the best way to filter water was to force feed it thru a solid carbon filter, but that takes at least household water pressure 60 psi and up. Even those brita tap filters must need some pressure to work properly,or maybe they don't. It would be interesting to see if this would work. Or what about those hepa fliter in air purifiers,ah probably too expensive,those facial dust mask I've used for something similar,but at the time I placed 3 or 4 on top of one another to clean grey water and worked reasonably well. P.S. If you use those carbon filter bags when new,just make sure you wash them out thoroughly by rinsing them in clean water,sometimes they leach out lots of carbon dust. 4 whatever it's worth.<br/><cite>Ture-DK said:</cite></p>

To be honest the pure easy filter has good reviews and is cheep compared to others ( 30 + shipping) so if you have a load to filter then I would just invest in one of those.<br/><br/>Yea charcoal is meant to remove contaminates so would remove some of the surf and other glycol from the mix but just adding a bit of soap to compensate for it isn't a good idea - that could mess up the water.<br/><br/>If those masks remove dust and stuff then they may work for lava lamps but it depends how the filter behaves when its wet as its designed to be used when dry.

I would love to know if this would work and if these are available in the UK. I've a backlog of lava lamps which require a good filtering.
