Since my Dryflow Filter was dirty and wanted to clean it, i started looking at the AEM cleaning solution and whatever that is needed for the DryFlow. I have to say for 30 bucks its pointless because well the filter is like 80 bucks itself.
I decided to lookup other ways to clean it and came across this method. I personally tried this myself and it works nicely.
1. Take off filter and lightly tap it to get off all loose dust/debris
2. Fill a bucket with WARM water (enough to just submerge the filter) and add some MILD Soap (i used some Non-Frangrant dishwashing soap). Not alot but a few dinner spoon fulls would be a accurate measurement. Mix the two together
3. Dunk the filter and then like a washing maching agitate it in the water a few times. Then take it out and dunk it again a few times and then do the two together (agitate and in and out of the water)
4. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes
5. Do the same as step 3 again
6. Take the filter out and run it over warm water, and make sure you get ALL the soap out. Rinse it from the outside first then the inside then outside again. This throughly makes sure all the soap is out
7. Let it dry. This process for me took bout 16 hours for it to be 100% dry (this was in the house sitting on my table). I assume you can put it over a vent in your house and it should take less time. DO NOT let it dry outside if its cold (negative temp) your shit will freeze. In the summer i assume it would dry even faster outside in the sunlight.
8. Clean out all yer buckets and stuff. Make sure the filter is clean. AND as an added cleaning step take a vacuum and use the nozzle (if your is one of those detachable types) and suck off all the dust or anything that may have accumlated when you let it dry
9. Reinstall Filter and enjoy it since you only spent 2-3 bucks on soap (even that you may have around the house) :D
