Trouble-Free Air Filter Cleaner
The Filt-O-Kleen is designed to clean dirt from paper air filters and was invented by Clifton Wilbourn of Versailles, Mo. "It's built strong and is trouble-free. If you go through a lot of filters, it'll pay for itself in no time," says Wilbourn. "It's not intended to permanently replace the purchase of new air filters. It'll just make them last longer."
Each tank comes with instructions and a diagram for easy assembly. Tanks are powder coated inside and outside and are pressure tested at 300 psi.
To clean a filter, the tank is placed on top of the filter with the gasket side up toward the base plate. The volume of air pressure cleans the filter of dirt and debris instantly.
"It's a safe and efficient way of cleaning paper filters at an affordable price. It does an amazing job of cleaning dirt from filters," says Wilbourn. "The air tank can be pressurized and used on filters ranging in pressure from 80 to 125 psi, depending on size of filter.
"In the past, we held the filters in our hands and tried to blow out all the dirt with a hose from the air compressor. You can spend a lot of time cleaning filters this way and possibly damage the paper in the filter. The Filt-o-Kleen works much better and it takes less time, too."
Two models are available. An 11-gal. model sells for $290 plus S&H, and a 7-gal. model for $260 plus S&H.
