That's a great question. Corey, the big thing about filters is usually the things that matter you can't see or you can't understand because It's the media, the pleated, you know, as you see the zigzags in the filter. If you have it in front of you where you can see it, some of them are in a can. Obviously, you can't see that. But the media is really the magic of the filter.

Obviously, you've got to have seal gaskets and all those kind of things that matter. But the media is what does all the work. So it captures the contaminant. It gives you the amount of efficiency that you need. And it also allows you to have the right pressure drop over the high pressure side of the pump to the low pressure.

So what that is, it's a good way to say there's a lot of science and engineering that goes into what that media is. And so just because they may look exactly the same, but one costs a little bit more than the other, there's probably a reason for it.

Sure. Yeah. We have a huge laboratory here in headquarters. Um, and there is all kinds of tests we do from what are the particle sizes that go upstream versus downstream and multi-pass testing. We look at how much contaminant it holds.

We do all kinds of things like burst tests, salt spray tests, uh, you know, if someone's going to be on a piece of equipment for many years, uh, you know, is there going to be a rust inhibitor that, that can, you know, keep that from happening? Um, you know, we do look at things like, um,

impulse fatigue so how many times that engine cycles all in all all in all can that particular product stand up to it will it collapse under you know any kind of you know extreme environment there's just a huge amount of testing that our engineers do each and every day so going back to the media side you mentioned you started in the cotton country are you guys still using a cotton media No, no.

So that was, uh, back in the, uh, in the late thirties, early forties, back during the war, that was just one of the few things that you can get to. Nowadays, you basically have two different types of media. You have a cellulose based media, which is effectively made from, you know, trees and other plant materials. Uh, like you would make a piece of paper, very similar in that respect.

Uh, and then the other one is a synthetic. So that is a more of a a spun bond type media, or it is a full synthetic fiberglass type situation where multi-layers are stacked on top of each other. So there's a tremendous amount of technology that goes into just manufacturing media these days.
