The Harvest Right Oil Filter is a pitcher-style filter that cleans used vacuum pump oil so you can pour it back into the pump. Each freeze dryer batch leaves a small amount of water in the oil. After filtering, the water sinks to the bottom and the clean oil floats on top, ready to pour off. Harvest Right ships one of these filters with each new freeze dryer. Buy this one as a replacement or a second filter.

Why it matters

  • Fits every Harvest Right oil pump: Standard, Premier and XL Premier, plus the built-in pump in the Countertop 360.
  • Reuse your oil instead of replacing it at every change, which saves oil and cuts waste.
  • Clean, dry oil helps the pump reach the vacuum level (mTorr) freeze drying needs.
  • Simple to use: open the pump's drain valve and let the oil run straight into the filter.
  • The dial on the lid can be set to the month you last filtered, as a reminder.
  • Harvest Right requires its oil maintenance schedule to be followed before it will process a pump warranty claim.

How to use it

  1. First use: unwrap the cartridge, set it in the cartridge holder, and press it in firmly until it seals.
  2. Open the oil drain valve on the pump and let the oil drain into the filter. Lift the back of the pump slightly to get all the oil out. On the Premier pumps, do not tilt far enough to push oil into the demister.
  3. Wait for the oil to pass through the cartridge.
  4. Pour the oil off the top and throw away the water that settles at the bottom. Never pour that water back into the pump.
  5. Pour the filtered (or new) oil back into the pump and start the freeze dryer.
