Dust Collector Problem

You might need a thicker gauge can. You need one that can withstand the pressure of a DC system. I don’t get how the dust would be dragged to the filter though. If you generate shavings and chips in your shop then look in the can. All of the shavings should be in the can and only very fine dust should go to the filter.

-- Remember, measure twice, cut once

Since you just got it I’d call Bill Whitaker the manager there at PSI and get his help. They seem to be good people to work with.

PSI broke their “heinies” to work through a remote control problem I had while using a PSI product with another brand’s machine. PSI kept at it until I was 100% satisfied, and it was not a one-shot fix.

I second the contact recommendation.

I sent an email to PSI and received not only an email back from Bill but also had a voice mail the next day. Bill recommended replacing the container with one more sturdy and told me to check for leaks around the flange that connects to the can. When I removed the flange from the old can, the person that had installed it did not use any kind of sealer. I used some automotive gasket sealer on the new can and the problem went away. The dust extractor is working great now.
GREAT customer service from PSI.
