A monometer has been installed on the output elbow of the dust collector. This manometer measures positive static pressure from the exhaust of the impeller due to the impedance of the filter. Static pressure with a clean filter during regular usage is should not be more than 2" WC ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch_of_water| water column] is the difference, in inches, between the height of the water level in either leg of the tube of water).

The filter is blocked when the pressure is higher than 2" WC, and needs to be cleaned. If above 2" WC, overall system suction is reduced and the dust collector will not collect sawdust from the rest of the system appropriately, is a health hazard, and gets fine dust over everything.
