Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often should I replace the 34430 filter drier in my recovery unit? A: Replace every 50-100 service cycles or when moisture indicator shows contamination. Heavy commercial use may require more frequent replacement every 30-50 cycles. Monitor system performance indicators and refrigerant quality to determine optimal replacement intervals for your specific operating conditions. Record cycle counts where possible to maintain consistency and replace sooner if recovery times increase.
