nd HEPA filters

Oneida ran an add in Cer. Monthly for their product "The Dust Deputy"
claiming it's for clay dust. It's a relatiively cheap cyclone stuck befo=

to
believe that it safely removes the finest si and clay particals.=3D20=3D20

One review by a drywall contracter said it helped, but his filter soon
clogged up so it wasn't good for the small fine particles!

So what is this really approved (and Proven) to work for? I have a brick=

A search on these archives seems to say previous cyclone vaccums like Dys=

Others mention a water trap system where the dirty air goes underwater to=

Anythoughts on what would be a good interior system that requires few
expensive HEPA filter changes?
