How Do I Know When My Filter Press Is Full?

September 12, 2018

Each 7” window plate can hold up to 3¼ cup of DE. The press will be “full” when enough DE has entered the press to fill each window plate.

One 7” Window Plate = 3 ¼ cups DE
Two 7” Window Plates = 6 ½ cups of DE
Three 7” Window Plates = 9 ¾ cups of DE
Four 7” Window Plates = 13 cups of DE
Five 7” Window Plates = 16 ¼ cups of DE
Six 7” Window Plates = 19 ½ cups of DE
Eight 7” Window Plates = 26 cups of DE
Ten 7” Window Plates = 32 ½ cups of DE

Another indicator that your press is full is when your pressure exceeds 65-80 psi when using an air pump or the handle is difficult to push down with a hand pump.
