The thing in the presentation I saw from Pure Power that struck me the
most, (if I understood what was said properly) is that I always
assumed that the oil in a paper type filter was all forcefully passed
through the paper. According to them, it simply flows against and
around the element, and the element collects the impurities. In their
screen system, the oil actually passes through the screen. I will
clarify this stuff at the MPMC conference third week in January and
post the info. I will also try to arrange a group buy for us. I am
definitely going with the Pure Power filter anyway.
