Just found out my paint booth filters are way dirtier than I thought

I was reading through the OSHA guidelines last night for something else, and I stumbled on a stat that said most body shops don't change their intake filters often enough leading to a 30% drop in airflow. I mean, I thought I was on top of it changing them every 3 months, but now I'm wondering if that's even close. I checked my booth this morning and the pre-filters were caked with dust I hadn't noticed before. Has anyone else checked their filter schedule recently or am I overthinking this?

Nah, you're probably fine. 3 months is plenty, most guys just forget completely.

Honestly @james_ramirez I think 3 months can be way too long depending on how much you spray.
