Filter Change on Hobby Air Pump
Filter Change on Hobby Air Pump
Has anyone changed the inlet (fresh air) filter on the Hobby Air Fresh Air Supply Pump? Mine is getting pretty cruddy and I was attempting to remove the filter but it appears to be bonded in. Rather than wreck it I left it alone but it does need to be changed soon. The manual says something like 'remove the filter'. Not a whole lot of help .
Thanks,
Mike

Finally called Hobby Air (duh ) and she said just pry it out with a screwdriver or butter knife. Apparently not that difficult but I didn't want to wreck it. I ordered a couple of new filters, fairly cheap, around $6.00 each. I've had the pump for over 10 years and never changed the filter so I guess it's time. I have my shop set up with the pump in another room that can be opened to the outside and the hose coming through a PVC pipe through the wall into the paint area.
If I were to do another, I'd certainly look at the Stewart (water borne) system. Instead of having to work around all this nasty MEK based stuff in Super Flite.
