The gast rotary vain 0523 comes with a silencer/filter that screws into the air intake. Do you or should you run the system with this screwed in? I have had it in but noticed less air pressure at the diffusers so I took it off and the pressure went back up. I cleaned the filter but feel there is more pressure in the line when it is off. Any opinions?

The filter I used was from McMaster Carr...part number 4369K31. I tested the amp draw with and without the filter and it was 0.1 to 0.2 amps higher with the filter in place. That seemed reasonable to me so I accepted it as "Good Enough". Here's the link... https://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/124/422/=1drnv09I chose this filter because it was the same pipe size that the pump offers at the connection. McMaster has higher CFM rated filters, but you have to bell up to 1/2" pipe size and that seemed unreasonable. BTW, the filter comes with an element included so don't buy two replacement elements thinking you'll use one and set one back as a spare. I now have two spares.
