How long will the PURO elements last?
Provided that the PURO poly-element is changed properly, the carbon elements should last for about 12 months. The life of the PURO white-element is determined by the amount of oil that needs to be separated which means that well maintained systems will use fewer elements. Should compressor servicing be poor, neat oil may pass into the PURO condensate cleaner and will seriously shorten the life of the PURO white-element and, if not noticed, carbon elements as well. However, the PURO condensate cleaner will prevent all or nearly all of the neat oil from flooding onto the floor or down the drain. Problems will be averted if both compressor and the PURO supervision and servicing is carried out properly.
