The filter I used was from McMaster Carr...part number 4369K31. I tested the amp draw with and without the filter and it was 0.1 to 0.2 amps higher with the filter in place. That seemed reasonable to me so I accepted it as "Good Enough". It's been in service for about 4 years now on my Gast 0523.

I chose this filter because it was the same pipe size that the pump offers at the connection. McMaster has higher CFM rated filters, but you have to bell up to 1/2" pipe size and that seemed unreasonable.

BTW, the filter comes with an element included so don't buy two replacement elements thinking you'll use one and set one back as a spare.


Fish on!,
