is the larger filter necessary and why would kohler have not installed it when it manufactured and shipped the generator ?

No it is not necessary/required. Kohler recommends in the engine manual to replace the old filter with the same size one as came on your engine, so if the shorter 2 1/2" one (12-050-01-S) use that one again, versus this longer 3 3/8" one (52-050-02-S). However, many people it appears use the longer one figuring it has more filter material to better filter the oil, and I too don't think it will 'hurt' to use the longer one if their is room on the engine for it (no other parts in the way, hitting it etc). My riding mower with 20HP Kohler engine came with this longer filter, however it calls out on the mower label the short oil filter part #! And the longer one fits fine so I plan to use this longer one at oil change time.

For one of my units, I went to the 3M filtrete site and downloaded a copy of the instruction book. There is also an installation book which you probably don't need. Make sure you have the correct model number. Gary

Sorry Donna, I only use the BUNN. Wish I could help. But it should say the size on your old filters which you could then look to see if BUNN has that size. Hope it helped a little. Good luck!

I honestly have no idea. That being said, I was concerned about that too. My solution was to put in (2) filters that were one pipe diameter larger then my inlet piping.

When I installed my unit I wondered the same thing. I called the distributor and asked what the gas requirements were and then called my HVAC man and told him the requirements. He had me call the gas company to verify that my current meter would provide adequate gas for my current needs plus the generator. The meter was adequate, the pipe from the meter to my generator (about 25 feet) needed to be 1 inch and I needed a special stainless braided line connector. The BBQ hose was not nearly large enough. The proper hose cost over $100.00 for an 18 inch length. It was a lot of trouble and expense but I know that the generator will work when I need it, even if the furnace and hot water heater are also running.

Hi Sir,I checked the model of my unit and searched based on that for the filter. if you check the model number for the unit you have it should give you the info for the filter you need. I may still have the box at home and if so I can post that for you if that will help.

It doesn't. It could be the light. But I think it's a description for the large model. Still a great filter. Mine works great.

I actually copied the way the filter was in the Hamilton Beach to begin with and then placed the filter. I did notice the replacement filter was a bit larger, however does not seem to impede the process of the fan. I do hope this helps.

Not without an adapter. I would get a TEE to put on the outlet of the second pre-filter where the inlet to the RO filter is connected. You can get the parts at ACE, lowes, Sears, Home Depot, etc. If this is the RO system you want, get it and that makes getting the adapters easier.

The filter listed is your replacement. There is a nominal size which you have listed and an exact size which is less than the nominal. Exact size on this filter is 27.375 x 29.5. We have worked with the Geothermal Manufactures on sizing. Thanks, Mark

I found the following on the Kohler site....When new; your mower most likely had a 4" long Kohler oil filter marked 25-050-27. In summary, the 52-050-02-S is 1/2" shorter in length...should work just fine.Kohler sells three different sizes of oil filters: (1) Small 2.25" (28050 01-S) (2) Medium 2.75" (12 050 01-S) and (3) Large 3.5" (52 05002-S). The only difference between these three oil filters is thelength, and thus the filtering capability. The smaller filters are madefor applications where there is not adequate clearance for the largerfilters. Using the largest filter that will fit not only improvesfiltering, but adds to the oil capacity of the engine, a good thing.

the unit will not work without the filter, it is neccessary that the filter is in place to draw the water up in suspension so the fan can move the air through the filter and into the room.

Read in the instruction if your getting the hose with the quick connection, you will not need the filter, anyway I called and checked into this and this was what I was told from Mr. Heater?

Yep, that's what I did. The filter tube took up too much of the tank for me. I removed the entire filter assembly (the below-gravel part, the middle tube) and just use a small side-mounted filter, which is more than sufficient.

I think you should need a basket for inserting the filter. Don't really know for sure. Should be able to get a replacement basket from Bunn.

Sorry I missed that it was not installed. You may not need one unless you have a humidifier or electrostatic filter. In which case there should be wires coming from either side at the lower half of the furnace trace those to perhaps a shut off switch. Thoses wires will tie into the transformer and a power source. If you cannot find the wires coming out you need to have the contractor finish the job.
