Switch air cleaner

[Gerald Lawrence]

This has not been a real problem but would like it more convenient. I have two air cleaners mounted in the ceiling and would like to have them both work with wall switch. Both can be turned of via wall switch but the Jet will not turn on via wall switch. Starting construction on new shop I hope this week and it will be higher than my arm reaches. Question is is there a way to wire the Jet to turn on with remote wall switch? Yes it has a remote which works to about 8 feet.

Just open up the Jet and bypass the remote switch wiring so it's direct wired from the power cord to the motor.

I would do it the way Tim suggested. You might lose the various speeds if the cleaner has them, in my case I only used one speed anyway.

If you want a really annoying set up, mount 2 jet units together. They use the same remote, but often only one turns on. Then you press the button again and the first one turns off and the second one turns on..... aaaagh.

Talk to the electricians that are doing the electrical work for you.

Consider mounting the air filter on the wall, where it would be easier to reach. Or hang the air filter from chins attached to the ceiling.

Thanks for the ideas. I like the rewire suggestion Tim had , just have to figure it out.
