It looks like the inner baffle has slipped over time to miss align the baffle hole and hepa input. The only thing that prevents this rotation if the friction of the inner baffle against the outter optical tube structure; so this rotation is bound to happen from time to time. To address this miss-alignment the hepa input hose was brefily removed and the inner baffle was rotated back into is nonimal position. Hepa input hose was then reinstalled ___end___ Log Type BY berkey: Fri Oct 04 21:55:00 GMT 2019 Skies loook to be getting worse.
