S&B Dry Filter Overview Extending the Life of Your S&B Dry Filter

Can I reuse an S&B dry filter?
While S&B dry filters are technically disposable, you can extend their service life through proper maintenance. Periodically blowing out the filter with compressed air and using a filter wrap can help increase longevity and keep it performing at its best.

How to Clean an S&B Dry Filter

Use compressed air to blow off debris from the outside of the filter. Keep the nozzle moving and maintain a distance of at least 6 inches from the media. This can be done while the filter is still installed, or for a more thorough cleaning, remove it and blow air from the inside out. Avoid focusing compressed air in one spot to prevent media damage.

Do Not Use Compressed Air on Cleanable (Cotton) Filters

Do not use compressed air on S&B cotton (cleanable/oiled) filters. It can separate the filter media and permanently damage the filter, voiding any warranty coverage. These filters should only be cleaned using S&B’s recommended wash and oil process.
