The NEW Harvestright Freeze Dryer Oil Filter!

[@mi.terpology]

My filter didn't come with instructions but came with the freeze dryer

[@danettekey8458]

So glad you told us it took 5 hours. I put my oil in the filter and nothing... Now I know to be patient.

[@drvinson8947]

Same. I was like, how long does this take? 🧐

[@KGSco]

Whew! Came here to check this. Thought maybe there was something with the filter that I neglected to remove. I figured that since it was oil, it would take a while but when nothing came out after 15 minutes I was getting worried.

[@bjpoodle1]

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

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

Yes, I have been using the HR pitcher. My oil changes are few and far between with the premier, but I have never changed the filter. In fact, I purchased a few quarts of oil about a year ago and have just been filtering 2 of 3 for this whole time.

[@dawnfuerst6507]

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!

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

[@lindacole5774]

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’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.

[@2fathomsdeeper]

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!

[@jenniferhansen4324]

I got my filter last week. No instructions came with it. I set the filter in and poured the oil in. 12 hours later not a drop of oil. What am I missing?

[@greatdaneacdc]

Lol 😂 Thanks ! You beat me too it

[@pamelamercer1124]

me too!

[@tinkertailorgardenermagpie]

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.

[@theprofit8473]

Do you know if the new filter will fit into a brita?

[@gorillamotors]

That is the question I was going to ask!

[@cyclingarizona7453]

‼🛑‼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!

[@chuckpeacock8303]

Just got ours and we have the old style hose too. We also purchased at TS. ... hope they offer a reimbursement.

[@gettinghosed]

Is there any advantage to vacuum sealing the end product versus using the sealer included with the purchase? Would vacuum sealing eliminate the need for moisture absorbent packs?

[@BigKuda1776]

Not a bad video. However would be nice to know how many times the filter can be used before needing replaced. As in true harvestright fashion there website has zero info.

[@banjomama4714]

He covered that! It’s impossible to say how many batches one filter will clean. It WILL depend on how much water your collective batches contain. It won’t be the same for any two users. That said, perhaps he can update later with a rough estimate.

[@BigKuda1776]

@@banjomama4714 I totally get there will be different variables. But when a company is selling $2000 plus dollar machines and puts out a product they certainly can do some R&D before trying to sell it. Always looking forward to more vids

[@jdsbees3257]

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!❤😊

[@thefreezedryingcommunity]

Yes, the hose needs some upgrades. If you have a premier pump, you can usually get away with 25 cycles before filtering.

[@oldfaart7923]

I got the new filter with my unit month ago, came with the larger hose. The new HR filter won't fit my Britta pitcher Britta has slots that would prevent it from going all the way in. There is a plastic rib that guides the Britta filter in. BUT looks like if you got a hack saw and cut off half of the down shaft it should allow the new filter to fit.

[@theoldguy9329]

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)

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.

[@pattiprichard1396]

I always read the instructions, sadly mine didn't come with any. Although it is a huge improvement from the original oil filter, it is narrow and easily tippable. Has anyone checked to see if the HR filters will fit the Brita pitcher? Brita pitcher is much more stable (wider base) in my opinion.

[@pambaker7092]

Got the new filter a few weeks ago. Put the used oil in, and after many days, only a little water came through. The dirty oil was still left in the top. Others have said they've experienced the same problem. What did we do wrong?

considering how cheaply made the original filter was, and having bought our medium FD in March, we ought to get at least a discount on the "Real" filter. Also wonder what the USB plug next to the control readout is for, any ideas?

I saw on another channel (sorry don't remember which one) a dryer review. They had some trouble with their unit. HR sent them a 'fix' on a thumb drive. Worked great afterwards.

The USB allows you to change your software so you can program your FD with the latest versions of software that you can request from Harvest Right.

Ive had my medium for about a month now. All is good, would like the vacuum port moved to the rear of the unit not the side.

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.

[@SilentWatcher594]

I purchased my Harvest Right medium TODAY. Studying the provided instructions and will be setting it up tomorrow. However, this video said to change out the vacuum line to the smaller black lines because the are better at minimizing condensation in the oil. The new unit I bought today has the larger clear hose. Are the new FD's supposed to come with the smaller black hoses or is that an upgrade? Also, please,,,how many times can you filter the oil before you toss it? Thanks.

[@chuckpeacock8303]

Same, I think this is a Harvest Right issue rather than distributer. Our drain valve was also rusted and leaky. Had to run to Home Depot and get a new one. They're a little shaky in the quality control regarding what leaves their warehouse in my short experienced opinion.

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.

There is no "clear" answer to that😂. Actually, that is the answer. The oil is good until it is no longer clear. That could be 2 times filtered or 10 times filtered

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.

There's only certain types of oil recommended. The premium pump, at multiple different places they say to use only the harvest right premium vacuum pump oil. So far so good, works great. The cheapest pump you can use other alternatives. I used to use dairyland since it cleans out the 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. I read up on the oiless and I saw so many people that had issues with them so I didn't go that route.

[@wd1501]

Hmmm, The Filter unit is $40 and the 3 pack filter is $25 ---- So is this superior to the Brita/Toilet Paper process? If all things are being equal, then it likely wouldn't pay for someone to invest in $65 when they might get everything for less than $10.

[@Savedbygracethroughfaith_7]

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.

[@EmilyAlbojer]

[@rlegato364]

I've finished my Sunday bloody Mary and the pork butt is in the smoker, so forgive me if I'm exposing my ignorance. I'm thinking a filter using centrifugal principles might be pretty cool. Maybe someone with an old unused juicing machine could whip up a proof of concept device that would put this device to shame and do the process on the fly as part of the whole function of the overall machine. P. S. I wouldn't be adverse to accepting the new Harvestright model as a tip for the idea though.

I have seen discussions about the different pumps and the need to change oil in all but the crazy expensive one but saw nothing about filtering oil. You made this video as if everyone knows about the need to filter oil. I still don't know what the deal is. Whenever you are trying to teach something, you must first describe the problem and why they need your information. Very frustrating.

My friend watch the videos on this channels and you will have your answers. The crazy expensive pump is oil-less

*@zak2u2* This channel has lots of thorough, informative videos. And he stays on top of pump & filter info. I got my FD 2 weeks ago. Received the old filter, which I used for my first oil change. I wanted but couldn't afford the oil-less pump. Glad I didn't get it. The process for changing oil is fast & super easy. And who wants to do a factory rebuild every two yrs on an oil-less?! The premier would have been nice, though! I did not receive a pillow, and was not prepared for the condensation. 😠 I found a guy on yt that walks through the process of building a thick plastic replacement for the pillow. It stops the condensation, and keeps the view! HR should have thought of this..I'm going to go that route, I'm not in the desert. Beyond the condensation, I've had no issues with my FD, works as advertised. I've got 4 trays of diced ham drying now, for FD Denver omelets 😉👍 Love the dividers 👌 Brian's Chili Mac recipe is yummmy!

Sorry, but I disagree with reading the Harvest Right instructions. They are confusing and contradictory.

Harvest right freeze driers are horrible.
