FAQ Section: Addressing Common Concerns
1. Will using compatible filters void my warranty?
Using compatible filters typically does not void your warranty, as long as they meet the same specifications as the original parts. Always check your warranty details for specific terms.
2. How long do compatible filters last?
Compatible filters are designed to last as long as original filters, generally around 6-12 months, depending on usage and air quality conditions. Regular monitoring will help you determine when it’s time for a replacement.
3. Can I clean my HEPA filter instead of replacing it?
True HEPA filters are usually not designed to be cleaned and reused. While some "HEPA-type" filters may allow for cleaning, they often do not meet the same efficiency standards. It’s best to replace them to ensure optimal air quality.
