MP DIY - Cleaning an Air Compressor

You'll just need a screwdriver to easily remove the screw. No tricky techniques to it but just be careful that the screw won't accidentally fall off else you might lose it.
After removing the screw, the filter cover should easily come off as well.
The sponge media is the one that filters out the air. You can easily remove it to inspect if it needs cleaning by pulling it out of the filter cover by hand or using a pair of tweezers or clippers.
This sponge media really does need some cleaning work. The dust accumulated hinders free passage of air into the compressor.
Dust apparently accumulated on the air inlet part of the filter cover.
After a quick dusting (you could also wash the sponge with water and dry it out), place the sponge media back into the filter cover. Screw it back and you're done.

Should we be wasting our time doing regular water change? Is it really that important? The real question here is why shouldn't we? Doing regular water changes is the basic way for ensuring that the environment our aquatic pets live in is not only aesthetically pleasing to our eyes but most important of all, is fit for the general well-being of our aquatic pets and their surroundings. Some beginners in the aquatic pet hobby think that the only reason why we need to do water change is for water clarity. A clear water as a matter of fact doesn’t mean that your tank water is clean. It is just the same as a drinking water. Being clear doesn’t mean that it is fit for drinking. It could contain harmful chemical which are not visible to the naked eye but are unhealthy for you. Filtration systems especially those high-end expensive types can help keep the tank environment in optimal condition but this doesn't mean that we no longer need to do water changes in our tank.
