Too often someone gets cheap just to save a dollar, and ends up spending much more in the long run with fixes, repairs, or substitutements.
My school roommate tried to forgo oil changes in his old Pontiac Grand Am.
With over 300,000 miles on the engine, he could not afford to mix a single oil change let alone five. It was no surprise to any of his friends when his motorcar inexplicably died on the side of the interstate while driving to work a single day, but both of us all told him that the oil changes would keep the motorcar running and neglecting them would kill the engine much faster than it would normally. He eventually l gained his lesson, however now he’s making a similar mistake with his cooling system and the filters he puts inside. His condo is a block down the street from mine and I often drop in to say hi at the last hour. Yesterday I caught him cleaning his washable cooling system filter in his powder room tub. I couldn’t know it, because I had heard nothing however exhausting things about these cooling system filters. First of all, their mesh isn’t good enough to collect small dust particles let alone bacteria or viruses. You might as well run the cooling system with no filter at all while all of your home’s dust gets to coat the evaporator coil as the proposal cycles. Surprisingly, that’s not the worst thing about washable cooling system filters. For me, I am more anxious about how they’re difficult to dry completely and the mold that can grow in your cooling system after cleaning the filter and putting it back into the machine. I told him that he’s better off spending $12 on a enjoyable filter every numerous to numerous weeks instead. His health is at stake with this kind of cheap behavior.
