Title: Bradwest Aircap Filters
Post by: Roger Groom on June 19, 2013, 09:01:06 PM

I have been asked by a friend where is it possible to purchase filters for the Bradwest Aircap Restirator. Or are they washable? I have attached two pics of the filter. Anyone out there got any suggestions?

Hi Roger

Bradwest are a part of JSP and the JSP powercap looks a lot like the Bradwest Aircap. Screwfix do the filters for the powercap http://www.screwfix.com/p/powercap-filters/66435 so it might be worth taking the aircap into screwfix and see of they fit.

Hi Roger
Using an airline to blow out the dust gently will make them last longer as well.

Not sure I'd use an airline, you'd need to blow through from the inner and more likely to damage the filters.

My preference is to use the workshop dusty to suck the dust out of them. I do the same to the overhead air filter as well to clean the primary filter.
