 Cold Water Rinse: Collected dirt is washed away using just a standard hose nozzle with
plain water. Let stand until completely dry before returning to service.
 Immersion in warm soapy water: Dip the filter in a solution of warm water and mild
detergent. Then rinse the filter in clear water and let stand until completely dry before
returning to service.
4.6.3 Storing the Filter
It may be best to keep extra filters on hand to make changing the shelf filter easier. The ideal
storage condition is a cool, dry, dark environment. High temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet
light adversely affect the filter media. Foam also degrades when exposed to solvents and
sulfates, such as engine exhaust.
Control that the relative humidity is between 40%-80% and the temperature between 4.4ºC -
32.2ºC (40ºF - 90ºF). Cover the filters with dark plastic, keep the foam dry, and protect it from
ultraviolet light.
Artesyn Embedded Technologies - Embedded Computing does not recommend storing
foam filters for many months or years at a time. Purchase enough to keep adequate inventory
for no more than a few months.
