There are a few videos out there that say you should just throw away the demister when it gets dirty and buy a new one (which costs 30 bucks or so). I say, save a few bucks and clean it yourself😉😉.

Where can I buy a demister? HR doesn't have them on their site that, i can see. Thanks

@jesuschristismylordandsavi6108 Месяц назад

I don't know if this has been addressed so here it is now. After you start the threads to screw the cap down at the end, be sure and look to make sure you did not bump the cap and the O-ring fall out. If it did and you screw it tight it will damage the O-ring. The reason I say this is because clumsy me when I was screwing my cap back on, I bumped the cap and the O-ring fell out. Luckily I checked before tightening. You are a very very good teacher. Thank you so much for your professionalism and detailed explanation. Lord Jesus bless you and yours.

I would recommend purchasing a second filter so you can install a new one then clean the old one and let it dry so it’s ready to be used the next time it needs cleaning!

@pamhoven 9 месяцев назад

I checked the website but do not see filters. Do you know where I can buy a spare one?

@kendaleklund7475 9 месяцев назад

You may have to call the manufacture for the correct part for your pump. @@pamhoven

Yeah I’ve got a second but I’m unable to unscrew that plastic cover with a quarter. I’m beyond frustrated at this point.

@pamhoven 6 месяцев назад

@@Fiona2254 the same happened to me. I wound up using two quarters and a large pliers, and gave it a few quick jerks, and it came free. Mine had quite a bit of locktite on it.

I used a butter knife and a pair of vice grips. Worked like a charm.

We tried using quarters but couldn't. A bit of the plastic broke off, and we had bent two of our quarters. We tried using a flat head screwdriver, and we were able to open it. Thanks for the tutorial!

Absolutely the best video for cleaning the demister. Thank you

@stillnessbetween5103 10 месяцев назад

I bought my unit quite a few years ago with the original pump, and when the oiless units were introduced I bit the bullet and bought one. My decision was made due to the fact that I have used vacuum pumps for years on A/C units and the oil changes are somewhat inconvenient, and expensive! That oil is not cheap. Harvest Right does offer a nice filtering system for oil.I am happy with the new unit and haven't looked back. Yes, it is not for every budget. I understand that. You do with what you have. Thank you for your info and enthusiasm!

What solution did you use?

@shmilyforrest Месяц назад

Kudos on your (should be award-winning) videos. Long story short, received my new Premier Industrial Pump from HR. Arrived an oily mess. It must have been turned or rolled in transit and the remaining oil in the pump drained into the demister. Ugh. I cleaned it up, but now it's for the filter. Question. After cleaning with Dawn and a thorough rinse, would it hurt to give a final rinse with alcohol knowing it will cut through any remaining oil and prevent any sticky residue on the filter material? (no, not on the o rings) I think it will also help with the drying process.

Excellent tutorial!!!

@bmills284 25 дней назад

I cleaned it and set it out to dry and today when i went to see if it was dry when i picked it up and ran my fingers over it there was still some oil. 😢 i thought i had it all out. Wasted a day. Do i have to repeat it all over? How frustrating that i couldnt tell when it was wet that all the oil was out. This was a brand new demister and after 12 batches oil was leaking out.

A video on vacuum chamber sealers would be nice - what to look for as hobby guy or small business.

@mgold4685 6 месяцев назад

Get one that comes with two sealer bars. One for standard plastic bags and one for mylar.

I'm lost without sausage month now. I'll bet it's nice to get back to normal for though, Eric. I wonder if they're coming out with a more affordable/entry level freeze dryer?

@2guysandacooler 10 месяцев назад

Not sure. I know with the popularity of these units and the rising competition; the price might start to drop. Hard to say

@franfournier5692 5 месяцев назад

I have both pumps.. jb .. it stopped making vacuum. and the Harvest Right oil less,, also stopped working (bearings seized, seals worn out) not a good design.. I now find out that they say it needs to be rebuilt every 2-3 years for $375. .. wouldn't buy either again.. wondering if an oilless laboratory pump will work ok? Much cheaper..

How do you know when it's time to clean your demister?

@2guysandacooler 7 месяцев назад

you pump might not be getting a good vacuum or the demister is super dirty

@user-hr8nm3hq4l 7 месяцев назад

Thank you. I finished a load of strawberries and unfortunately opened the valve while the pump was still running. The machine said pump off so I just thought the condenser was running. I didn't realize until 15 min. Later that I needed to hit pump off. I am changing oil today and praying all.is okay.

@spockmcoyissmart961 4 месяца назад

I find that I can see the sun's rays coming through the window in the FD room. There is a fine oil mist in the air, and the rays of the sun glow in the oil misty air. Very specialized testing procedure!

@barbaramandy8708 3 месяца назад

@@spockmcoyissmart961 I read comments in another video about cleaning the pump (Live.Life.Simple.) that the mist, even if not really visible, can be very harmful. Other comments reiterated the need for an air quality filter running while the FD is running. I'm concerned about what I might have been breathing for the past 18 months. Has anyone else heard of this?

@spockmcoyissmart961 3 месяца назад

@@barbaramandy8708 Fortunately, it is a food grade mineral oil, very low toxicity levels and humans can drink mineral oil for certain ailments. Do I want to breathe it? No, but passing through the room, doesn't concern me. It is heavier than air, so it will settle to the floor/furnishings. Now working over a Long John Silver fryer would concern me. ;)

where can I purchase a demister filter replacement?

@2guysandacooler 9 месяцев назад

you have to contact Harvest Right support and let them know that you want to purchase a demister. They will send you a purchase link and from there you can get one. Apparently, they don't really sell replacements parts on their site.

@ritababcock9514 9 месяцев назад

How does the machine know we did a oil cgange

@2guysandacooler 6 месяцев назад

It doesn't. There's more than likely a counter that tells the machine how many batches the machine has run. After so many batches the machine probably automatically sends a message to the display.

7:50 Your demister is NEARLY clean. You did not clean the INSIDE of the filter. I have a demister filter that is horrifically dirty on the inside and will require special attention.

@@thedude2367 so what's your point? *if* you're being honest, that doesn't negate the tens of thousands of horror stories from that horrible company and those horrible machines. Harvest Right themselves have published statistics of their failure rate and they're absolutely horrendous.
