I recently finished installing my cv1800. Instead of the standard 15" blower and blower housing, I opted to use the 16" blower and housing since I have two fairly long runs on ducting assuming this setup would get me a little more suction. I have noticed i have some small chips and dust swirling around in the cyclone about 8" up from the flex piping that goes to the dust bin. Suspecting a leak around the flex pipe and/or the dust bin, i used incense sticks and could not find a leak anywhere. Still wanting to be certain, i used silicone caulk around the flex on both ends and still notice i have swirling dust. Wondering if the 16" blower might be causing too much suction? The flex pipe is 9" long going to the 55 gallon drum. I could not find any leaks anywhere. Seems like I read somewhere that some swirling is normal, just want to be sure before I clog up my new filters. Do I need to check again?
