How do you use uni foam filter oil?

Published in Filter Maintenance 2 mins read

To properly use uni foam filter oil, you need to thoroughly coat the foam filter and then remove any excess oil. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Applying Uni Foam Filter Oil

Step 1: Initial Coating

  • Spray: Using UFF-100/104 Aerosol Filter Oil, spray the filter both inside and outside. Make sure you spray it evenly until the entire filter is covered with oil.

    • This ensures that all the foam is treated for maximum effectiveness.
  • Example: Imagine a sponge; you want to saturate all parts of it with the oil, not just the surface.

Step 2: Work the Oil In

  • Massage: Use your hands to work the oil into the foam. Ensure the oil penetrates all parts of the filter, reaching the core of the foam structure.
  • This step helps to properly distribute the oil.

Step 3: Second Coating

  • Repeat: Spray the filter again, inside and out, until the filter has complete coverage. This ensures thorough saturation.
  • Work Again: Work the oil into the foam using your hands.

Step 4: Remove Excess Oil

  • Dab: Use paper towels to dab the filter, removing any excess oil. This is important as too much oil can restrict airflow.
    • Dabbing prevents the oil from pooling and clogging the filter.
