When it comes to keeping your gardening equipment in top condition, it is always best to use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. However, using oil and air filters that are not on the label is unlikely to cause any issues. Installing a water filtration system is much more eco-friendly than buying boxes or jugs of bottled water. This provides a long-term solution for purifying water, rather than contributing to the 29 billion plastic bottles that are accumulating in landfills and oceans.
Plastic water bottles are convenient for accessing clean water wherever you go, but they can be detrimental to the environment and aquatic life, as well as our health if they are thrown away. Plastic does not decompose easily, and can even break down into microplastic particles that can be difficult to trace and easily infiltrate our food and water. Additionally, plastic water bottles are made from fossil fuels and natural gases, requiring 17 million barrels per year for production, not including transportation. This process releases 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide every year. Using a water filter not only reduces single-use plastic water bottles, but it also provides long-term benefits such as extending the life of appliances.
HUBB's reusable and cleanable filter also helps the environment by eliminating the need to throw used filters into landfills. When it comes to aftermarket oil and air filters, they do their job or not, and that's what really matters. In addition to having fresh, filtered water whenever you want it, having filtered water in your home has other advantages, many of which are beneficial for the environment. You can usually use second-brand or second-hand oil and air filters on your lawn care equipment without any problem.
So, if you can save 50% by buying non-brand oil and air filters, there should be no issues.
