Does the choice of Filter on a heat exchange system affect how much air can go through the system? I am probably going to have some filters made for the Poplypipe HR01-W System. The originals are almost see through when I hold them up to the light, whereas the ones advertised as M5, G4 etc. seem...

I bought a WPRO Type 145 cooker hood filter from espares. The new filter has a thin paper material over one side of the filter, and the airflow is drastically reduced from what it was with the original filter that came with the unit. Is this a bad thing? It feels to me on the exhaust vents at...
