DECKPURADYN BYPASS FILTRATION SYSTEM The Puradyn bypass filtration system can reduce your maintenance costs by extending the life of your engine oil up to 10x. That means less oil used, less oil and waste oil stored, and less opportunity for environmental hazards associated to waste oil disposal. Not only does the Puradyn system remove solid contaminants smaller than 1 micron as well as liquid contaminants including water, it also replenishes the base additives which maintains your oil’s chemical balance and viscosity within engine specifications. Running on continuously clean oil and following proper oil analysis protocol can result in up to 90% fewer oil changes, and users also report that expensive mid cycle overhauls may no longer be necessary. The system will pay for itself after just 2-3 oil changes, and it will not violate any OEM’s engine warranty. Puradyn systems are also available for hydraulics, where the elimination of water is even more critical. ENGINEERINGLUXE BLOOM® – LASTING LUXURY ROSESMeet Luxe Bloom.
