SCHROEDER BREATHERAIR

Description & Features

Designed for use on hydraulic reservoirs and fluid storage tanks, the Schroeder Breatherair is an air breather filter that protects hydraulic systems from airborne contamination during fluid level changes. As fluid is drawn from or returned to a reservoir, the breather filters incoming air to prevent particulate and moisture ingress that can degrade fluid quality and accelerate component wear.

Manufactured by Schroeder Industries, this unit is built for dependable service in industrial hydraulic applications where maintaining clean fluid is critical to system longevity. The breather mounts directly to reservoir access points and provides a straightforward, low-maintenance solution for contamination control.

Question by: Rick H on Sep 25, 2025, 7:59 AM

what's this breather actually doing for my reservoir, like is it just filtering dust or does it handle moisture too?

Answer by: Customer Support on Sep 26, 2025, 7:53 PM

Air breathers on hydraulic reservoirs serve two main purposes: keeping particulate out and slowing moisture ingress as the fluid level rises and falls during normal operation. Every time fluid is drawn out or returned, the reservoir breathes air in or out, and without a filter on that vent point, you're pulling in whatever's floating around in your shop or yard. The Schroeder Breatherair sits at that access point and filters that incoming air before it ever contacts your fluid, which helps protect your components and keeps fluid degradation from creeping up on you over time.
