I am using the filter to keep my arboretums supplied with humus, and it is doing and excellent job. As for as the timers go, mine is working fine, but I noticed that it would close the filter off if it was too close to anything else that had a redstone signal coming from it. Also, because it doesn't clearly state this anywhere, the big hole is the input, and the small hole is the output. It will not recieve items on any side but the input, and will only send things out the output side, so if you are using a chest to draw your items from, the input side has to be facing the chest that it is next to, and the pipe will be attached to the other side. Placing a timer directly next to the filter works nicely. I have noticed that if you are needing two things sent to the same location, it will only send the first one, ie: the humus in the arboretum, when I set it to send the saplings there as well, it would not send them because it did not see that there was an opening for them because the first slots are for the humus.
