Aerator

[duskb]

I bought this aerator stone pump about a year ago and it's done pretty well by me. Recently I noticed a bit of moisture had accumulated inside the clear output tube feeding into the filter and the moisture contained trace amounts of mold. To be safe I wanted to order a new filter for it but the only one I'm finding on Amazon someone claims is not sanitary. Rather than take a chance or reinvent the wheel do any of you have any suggestions?

I just stuck "sanitary air filter" in the Amazon search box and got hits from brewer supply companies

Thanks for the tip! I ended up getting their Not so Common Common kit too.

When I used those "sterile" HEPA filters I stored them loosely wrapped in a piece of aluminum foil, not tightly wrapped. Air could still get to it. I guess you could aim a hairdryer at it to speed up the drying process, without melting the plastic housing.

I always draped the hoses over the corner of a metal storage rack to dry. I also cleaned and Starsaned the tubing every few months, again, allowed to dry the same way.

Lesson learned, never put damp things away. Allow them to dry first.
