Why we built it
Finding the right industrial filter shouldn't require a chain of emails. With millions of configurations across hundreds of brands, simple tasks to spec and quote your application can eat up your day. Filtersource AI puts those jobs into one fast chat so you can move from question to answer (and quote) in a single flow.
Use it anywhere
- Full workspace: Go to filtersource.com/chat for the dedicated chat page.
- While you browse: Open chat from any product or tools page on our website. The assistant knows the page you're on, so you can say things like: "Quote this, 24 pieces." or "Recommend a cartridge for this housing to get sediment out of distilled vodka."
Built‑in tools on the chat page
Use these alongside the assistant, or ask the assistant to interpret results for your application.
- Interactive Micron Rating Guide - Convert cleanliness targets into practical micron choices.
- Mesh vs. Micron - Translate between mesh counts and micron sizes for strainers/screens.
- Chemical Compatibility - Check elastomers and media against specific chemicals and temperatures.
- Bag Filter Configuration Tool - Find the perfect fit using a visual configurator
- Filtration 101 - Our educational module to learn about filtration at any level
Real‑life ways teams are using it (copy/paste these into chat)
Maintenance & Engineering
- OEM cross → quote
- Try: "Cross Pall AB3UY1007PH4. Need 12. Quote it."
- High‑temp diesel bag
- Try: "Size 2 bag for diesel at 180°F, target 5 µm. Quote two cases."
- Upgrade seals
- Try: "Swap Buna‑N for a Viton O‑ring kit for my #2 bag housing."
- Absolute cartridge pick
- Try: "2.5″×20″, 10 µm absolute, 226/flat, EPDM. Need recommendation."
Purchasing & Supply Chain
- Reopen and update a quote (logged in)
- Try: "Reopen Q‑200123 and update qty to 60."
- Order status + tracking (logged in)
- Try: "What’s the status of SO‑300321?"
- Invoices (logged in)
- Try: "Show invoices from the last 30 days and the one over $5,000."
- Restock from recent purchases (logged in)
- Try: "Create a restock quote using what we bought last quarter, same quantities."
Reliability & Ops
- Tighten ISO codes on hydraulics
- Try: "Targeting ISO 17/14/11 on 68 cSt oil at 40°C, 35 GPM. Recommend absolute rating and media."
- CIP loop in food plant
- Try: "CIP, caustic at 170°F, need 1 µm final, 30″ 222/fin, Silicone O‑ring. Suggest a validated option."
- Fuel polishing staged setup
- Try: "Recommend 10 µm then 1 µm staged filtration for diesel polishing. Quote housings + 100 spare elements."
Tip: If you require a very specific brand or configuration, just say so in the message.
How it works (in plain English)
- You describe the job (part number, dimensions, temperature/chemistry, end‑caps, quantities, anything).
- The assistant searches our catalog, links product pages, and (if you're signed in) can surface your orders, quotes, invoices, and products in seconds.
- When you ask for pricing, it packages details into an RFQ, submits, then returns your quote number + link so you can track it. Our sales team will review and get back to you typically within one business day. Once your quote is priced, you can approve and place an order from your account.
Guardrails & expectations
- We may suggest compatible equivalents when a direct match isn't available. Oftentimes, an exact match may not be available on our public website, so our dedicated sales team will use our global supply chain network to match millions of filtration parts.
- Final fit and performance must be confirmed for your application (temperature, pressure, chemistry, regulatory). If you ever need additional support, our team of industry experts is available to help with engineering and validation.
- OEM names belong to their owners and are used for cross‑reference only.
- Intended for industrial applications only. Filtersource.com focuses on serving businesses and industrial applications; we can't provide any consumer filtration products, like those for a home user or residential swimming pool.
