Our biggest route to market is
supplying high quality alternative
filter elements into existing filter
housings out there in the field. This is a
product range that we have great experience
in and done successfully for many years.

What is an Alternative Filter Element?
This is where you have a propriety
compressed air brand, such as domnick
hunter or ultrafilter and its time to replace
the original filter element as its become
blocked with particulate or has a high
differential pressure (dp gauge is in the red)
. These are consumable/wearing parts and
should be changed every 12 months as a
minimum. As you look around for the
replacement element, an Alternative
Element may be offered by your normal
filter supplier or Air House. It is exactly
what is says, an Alternative Element, it will
be an exact replica of the original element in
terms of size, connection and fitment, but
not a genuine part.

Many filter manufacturers are busy flying
the “Fit Genuine Parts” flag, because
obviously its in their financial interests to do
so, they can charge a premium for you to fit
the same filter elements into the housing
they sold you! Consider this …..Hi-line
Alternative Filter Elements are not only less
expensive than Genuine Parts , but in many
cases out perform them in terms of ; less oil
carryover, longer service life, lower
differential pressure, better dirt holding
capacity. Manufactured to ISO 8573-1:2010

Hi-line Alternative Elements are made
using Pleated Filter Media, as are all of our
filters. Many household names in the
compressed air market use wrapped or
rolled filter media. The difference is
outstanding. Think about any general filter
that takes high impact dirt loading on a
daily basis, here’s a simple analogy , your air
intake filter on your car. Pleated filter!
Why? there is more than four times the
cross sectional area in a pleated filter than a
wrapped filter, so a much lower energy
source (the compressor in this case ) is
required to pass that volume of air through
the filter. Saving you money.

We are the industry agenda setters, as last
month our competitors sent out shoe boxes
full of pleated filters, in a fanfare
proclaiming the amazing savings of pleated
filters ! We’ve been doing it forever !! So next
time you have an element to replace make
sure its Hi-line, not only will you save
money, it will more than likely perform
better too.

With over 147,000 different filter
elements to cross reference from, and a
“copy exact” philosophy saving money on
replacement elements has never been easier.
We have our own electronic filter cross
reference software for ease of identification
