How often do exhaust filters (no grid) need replacing?

Typical cycle: every 14-28 days under normal shop load. Heavy production shops on the short end of the range, light-volume shops on the long end. Pressure-drop monitoring (manometer reading) is the most reliable replacement signal beyond calendar cycle.

How many exhaust filters (no grid) SKUs does BoothFilterPro carry?

200 SKUs currently catalogued in exhaust filters (no grid), primarily fiberglass exhaust arrestor (81 SKUs). Filter by supplier or dimensions on each SKU detail page for fit-checking. Multi-source-verified SKUs (cross-referenced across 2+ catalog years) appear first in the grid.

What's the difference between exhaust filters with and without a grid?

Booth design choice, not filter design. Exhaust-no-grid booths use filters that slide into a track or frame on the exhaust wall. Exhaust-with-grid booths use a metal grid that holds the filter pad against the exhaust wall. Some pad-style media work in either configuration; those SKUs appear under both categories where the manufacturer's spec sheet documents dual-fitment.
