FAQ Section: Your Questions Answered

Typically, a good quality filter should last about 6 months to a year, depending on usage and air quality conditions. Regularly monitoring the filter indicator light will help you keep track of when it's time for a replacement.
What is the difference between True HEPA and HEPA-type filters?
True HEPA filters can capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, making them highly effective for allergens, dust, and pollutants. In contrast, HEPA-type filters are less efficient and may only trap larger particles, making them less effective in improving overall air quality.
