To calculate months to payout, enter the cost of Precleaner (and installation) here:
* Savings calculation based on current use with a dust-bowl type precleaner, OR without any precleaner installed (filter housing and rain cap only). Blow-out of primary air filter is never recommended as it may damage air filter effectiveness. Normal maintenance schedules are not designed to take advantage of the extended filter life provided by the single-stage precleaner. In order to get the greatest filter life extension we strongly recommend that filters are left undisturbed until the restriction indicator requires that the filter be changed. Savings are estimated; actual results will vary.
