No Dirty Oil Mixing with Clean Oil
When oil flow is restricted, a conventional filter opens its by-pass valve in order to maintain oil flow and protect your engine. However, clean oil is mixed with dirty oil when the bypass valve opens. And, since the bypass valve is at the bottom of the filter where contaminants accumulate, there is a risk that these stored contaminants will be released into the engine.
The HUBB filter is based upon an entirely different design that uses two pressure differential valves rather than a single by-pass valve. This design ensures that dirty oil is not mixed with clean oil in high pressure situations. In addition, the HUBB design traps the contaminants in a way that there is minimal risk of contaminants being released into the engine.
HUBB Filter Cleaning System
The patented HUBB filter lasts a lifetime because the 2 inner filters are easy to clean and are reusable. The contaminants captured by the HUBB filter can be removed from the inner filters by using the HUBB Filter Cleaning Machine in combination with specially formulated Cleaning Concentrate. The HUBB system is MSDS compliant and does not require any special handling.
HUBB Eliminates Used Oil Filters Going into Landfills – or Worse
Over 800 million oil filters are used each year in the US alone. And since each filter contains toxic chemicals, heavy metals and pose human health and environmental risks, a used filter must be properly disposed in accordance with governmental guidelines. Non-compliance results in significant fines. But, the EPA estimates that almost 50% of oil filters are not disposed of properly.
Since HUBB is a permanent and cleanable filter, it helps reduce this growing environmental problem.
