TKS Filter

[Dammit Bill]

Hi everyone.

 

I’m trying to source the 19295 filter for my FIKI Bravo.

 

Anyone have a lead for me?

 

Thanks

Are they custom making this or buying a commercially available part and putting a new sticker on it and marking it up 1000%?

Great question. 

@Dammit Bill to the OP: Out of curiosity what is your criterion for replacement? 

Only reason I ask is that I was considering the criteria for replacing mine, and a few mechanics opined it was not likely to be needed. I've had the high pressure light go on a couple times recently, persistently on some flights, but these also correlate (largely or completely) with colder conditions, which is a known behavior.

Nah, I suspect it's closer to 10,000%

High pressure light in pump 1 and 2. Doesn’t reset w pump on. CAV recommends change every 2 years

Of course they say every 2 years….regardless of fluid pumped through it.  Like my new refrigerator, not but 3 months into ownership the damn computer is telling me I need a new one at $55/ea.  That annualizes out to $220 year for filters…..absolute BS.
