SCHROEDER BREATHERAIR

Air breathers on hydraulic reservoirs serve two main purposes: keeping particulate out and slowing moisture ingress as the fluid level rises and falls during normal operation. Every time fluid is drawn out or returned, the reservoir breathes air in or out, and without a filter on that vent point, you're pulling in whatever's floating around in your shop or yard. The Schroeder Breatherair sits at that access point and filters that incoming air before it ever contacts your fluid, which helps protect your components and keeps fluid degradation from creeping up on you over time.
