Nice, very well done.

Neat video but I have a question. I have that exact same DC. When I turn mine on the top bags snap up and get hard as a rock, almost like, well, never mind
. In the video the top bags did not move one bit, as far as I can tell. Something going on here? Inquiring minds want to know.Ken

Well, I have a gizmo attached to the top of each bag that holds it up against the ceiling joists.
Edit to add:
Forgot to mention that I'm using oversized filter bags from AFF. So they really don't blow up like the stock bags.

Well Done Dom!

gotcha. thanks. AFF folks are great. I have their custom made bags on my 4HP DC and they work great. I gave them measurements and they came back perfect.

Ken,
back when I was first installing this DC you (as well as others here) advised me to call the people at AFF. I took your advise and they made those bags for me.
Each of those bags has a loop at the top. I screwed a big j-hook into the underside of the joist over the DC and the cut a piece of oak that was as long as the DC (spanned both bags) and narrow as the loops. The hook fits right into a hole I drilled in the center of the oak slat. It's not optimal bu tit keeps the bags from flopping over.

I'm a bit late to this thread, but it's very timely as my Oneida remote just stopped working today. I've added your parts to my Amazon wish list, so I'll probably end up doing the same project. Thanks for sharing!

Glad to help! The article I wrote on my web site is a bit more comprehensive and has a section with links to all the major components both from Amazon.com and Home Depot. Drop me a line if you have any questions

THANK YOU FOR THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It got me to finally get off my butt and do it. It took all of 15 minutes from start to finish to do it and it worked perfectly. Got the contactor from Amazon, a box from HD the 110 remote I had bought from Ace in a closeout. Works like a charm.

Cool! I'm glad other people are trying this out. Fred gave me the "push" I needed so I'm just passing it along
