Best filter too setup to buy?

[Obeast88]

Alright guys I got my hands on about 1 liter of test e and a few other oils. They are semi finished oils and only need to be filtered and put in sterile vials. I'm looking for the best set up on a budget, not a tiny budget but not huge either lol. What brands and all pieces would be needed to start filtering? Any help is much appreciated.

I looked at his but I was honking more like using a bottle too filter and vacuum pump because it is so much oil if it was only a 100 ml that would be fine but this is somewhere around 2 liters

Any pvdf or nylon bottle top filter will be fine. Make sure you use a glass collector with a vacuum pump so you can up the pressure to run it through quicker. You can get a decent electric vacuum pump a harbor freight for 70 bucks or a hand pump for 20 either or will do the trick. They have 1000 ml bottle tops you can use to suit your needs.

That's what I was looking at I just didn't want to buy a cheap one that would break on me. I've been searching throu eBay and found a few.Is there any particular brand you would suggest?

Use a zapcap filter and buy a glass media bottle as receiver. And a hand pump of course.

Nylon Autofil or any millipore should be fine.

I've talked to ppl who use those and are very happy with them. I used them one time and went thru 3 units because they kept cracking. Maybe I'm not patient enough but I steer clear of the 'all in one'. Glass media bottles won't Crack.

So you're saying just buy the zapcap filter too and the buy a media glass to fill?How to know which will fit on the filter?

Yeah thats why i suggested to just buy the bottle tops and buy the collector separate. The plastic media containers are next to useless and have to be discarded after use.

I believe its a fairly universal fit... they don't screw in, they suction on the top of the bottle

Any 33mm neck should fit fine into just about any bottle top filter.

If you plan on doing this regularly I would recommend gettingna buchner filter setup and a 2.5 cfm vacuum pump

If you look on page 2 theres a thread titled "xkawns homebrewing bible" in which i have a detailed build with pics.

I agree it needs to be a sticky. There is tons of information in there many on here would love to familiarize themselves with! Thanks @XKawN

So about how much would just the basic startup with handpump and accessories set someone back?
