I love all your videos! You do a fantastic job in explaining everything and showing the successes and failures. thank you very much!

Thanks for step by step and info!

Sweet! Ordered.. thx for the info & demo!

Big Thanks for your podcasts

I’m glad I didn’t run out and get a Britta while I was waiting for my FD delivery; this is the filter they sent me. Fantastic channel, thank you for your great content. I used your affiliate link to order filter replacements.

I got my new oil filter about 2 weeks ago and didn't get any instructions and the gal gave me instructions over the phone and email me a set so I could print them out. It really works easier than the old one. Thanks for showing this to everyone.

I just ordered the freeze dryer through your link, I ordered the medium size with the smaller pump, hopefully I am able to upgrade to a different pump later but it’s all I could afford at the moment. I am so excited to be able to patronize you and your channel and just wanted to share the good news with you!

Just ordered a large dryer on 12/31/22. This filter comes with it. Additionally, I ordered an extra pack of oil (2 quarts), but extra filters were out of stock. I did see a video on a recirculating filtration system that operates while the pump is on. Interesting build for heavy users!

Great video, you make our FD experience very easy thanks a lot brother!

Take out their batting. Put a basket-type coffee filter or two on the bottom of the upper level you took their batting out, and then jam in cotton. I used cotton balls from the dollar store. You want them in tight so there are no direct channels down. Then reassemble. Works well -- my oil is pristine. Fod longer use get a baster and suck it the sludge and water that collects at the sides and corners at the top. Mine has been working for about a year now and I am going to change the cotton out shortly. I have an old standard and I filter after every use to keep the pump healthy (and while the unit is defrosting)

Have been using the filter picture from HR . Have run over 60 filtered runs thru the original filter. This filter is still doing a great job. I change oil every run now. After each run there is made .2 of a ounce of water in top of filter after going thru. Take a couple sheets of toilet paper clean that out and dump in trash it ‘s all water. Very little junk. The oil in bottom is completely free off all water and very clear. Take Oil from bottom pour in original quart which came with machine. Recycle oil over and over. The new hose only keeps water into oil to a very little each run. Just got in habit to change oil each cycle. No Error yet up to 70 cycles done now. My option this picture filter works great and just bought Replacement filters for it. Bill

I liked the old "Henry" type with cotton fiber and not the mattress fill. I think it filters faster than 5 hours too. I have an older machine. I had ordered and have the smaller diameter hose and I could not get to a sufficient level of dryness. While there may have been less water in the oil, there was more in the food. I have an old "standard" pump from before the days of alternatives.

Filter works awesome.. how many batches per oil change and how many times can you filter and refilter the used oil?

If Harvest Right was trying to improve their machine, they’d do something about that pathetically designed, floppy drain hose! I just changed the oil in mine for the first time, after batch number 7, it really didn’t look like it needed to be changed, it barely had any color. Thank You for another excellent, informative video, haven’t tried my gray dividers yet, but they look like they’ll be a great addition to my freeze drying kit!❤😊

Same here - 24 hours later not a drop has filtered through - was there a piece of tape covering the filter part that I overlooked? This is bizarre and frustrating. Also, I found the slim design of a water pitcher to not be conducive for this purpose - it is so top-heavy when full of oil (that doesn't filter fast, like water would) that it tipped over TWICE all over the floor. WHATTA MESS. Use caution, super easy to have it teeter over if you just bump it.

My oil sitting there for over a week and never filtered any idea why?

How many cycles do you use filtered oil - in otherwords, at what point do you do a complete oil change? Also the Robinair oil looks very clear. As you run it through numbers of cycles does it change color - slightly? noticeably? I'm wondering when must you chuck the filtered oil and replace with new? I'm wondering about the oil breaking down and no longer protecting the pump. Thanks, looking to buy Med FD w/Prem filter this month.

‼🛑‼CHECK YOUR VACUUM HOSE WHEN BUYING A NEW HARVEST RIGHT!! Thank you Brian for some great videos. We bought our Harvest Right a month ago, ran 8 batches with no problems. On the ninth batch the vacuum would not drop enough to enter the dry cycle. "Oh, no a vacuum leak already??" Called Harvest Right customer support (CS) and after trying several suggestions, the last ditch effort was to drain and flush the pump by following the instructions they emailed me (Flushing instructions are not in the owners manual or the manual for the pump). Draining and flushing the pump worked and the vacuum draws down well below the 500mTorr needed. But, I wondered why the pump needed to be drained and flushed after only eight batches when the manual says after 20-25. I just happened to watch your video today and caught what you said about the smaller size hose that the newer units are sold with and the issue of condensation and water getting into the pump with the older style hose. Hmm. Our freeze dryer was manufactured in October 2021, but came with the larger, older style hose. I called Harvest Right and explained that our new unit came with the older style hose. They were surprised and said that shouldn't be. They suggested I order the smaller hose or call the dealer we purchased it from (Tractor Supply Co.) to see if they had possibly enclosed a hose from an older unit by mistake. Tractor Supply said I received everything that came with it from Harvest Right. However, the Tractor Supply manager told me to go ahead and purchase the correct hose for the unit from Harvest Right and he would reimburse me for the cost. Kudos to Tractor Supply! That's customer service! So the newer style smaller hose is on the way. Thanks for pointing that out Brian!

The hose you did get should have a smaller diameter hole in the metal fitting on the end. I got mine in september it's the fat clear hose, it came with another clear hose similar to the drain hose, I thought it was to shove inside the vacuum hose like I've seen in some older youtube videos but there was no way that was fitting in the tiny metal hole. I did order a new black one from HR same metal fittings with the tiny hole on the ends. It doesn't hurt to have a spare. I also ordered a spare door gasket. I saw on FB someone showed pics of their broken vacuum hose. Now I'm glad I ordered a spare

How often should oil be filtered? Yes i should read the information lol

I just purchased a new machine, manufactured in May 2022, and with the premier pump and was supplied with the larger diameter clear vacuum hose. So this info is outdated in the video, apparently they went back to the larger hose. Also I read in the manual that for the standard pump, filter the oil every 4-5 batched, but it makes no mention of frequency of filtration with the premier pump.

I have since upgraded to the premium pump since it uses less electricity and you only have to change the oil every 25-30 batches, and rach batch finishes a bit faster. It's WAY quieter too.

These are expensive.Specially for the replacement filters. A year ago, I got an inexpensive Brita container just like this. I got some quilting batting from walmart and wrapped it super tight. Then I placed that inside 2 coffee filters and stuck it in the filter opening. Needs to be very tight fit. It's inexpensive. Freeze the oil first and the water separates and sinks to the bottom and you can just spoon it out before filtering. With the supplies I got, paid like maybe $20-$25 for everything and I have enough to change out the filter at least a hundred times, and each one can be used multiple times. After one time of using the original harvest right filter that came with the freeze dryer (not this one), it literally came apart and started leaking everywhere. Useless.
