FAQ Section: Answers to Common Questions
Will using a compatible filter void my warranty?
No, using compatible filters typically does not void your warranty, but it's always advisable to check the specific terms of your warranty. Most manufacturers allow for third-party filters as long as they meet certain standards.
How long does a filter last?
Generally, a good quality HEPA filter can last up to 12 months, depending on usage and air quality conditions. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, can extend the life of your filter.
What is the difference between True HEPA and HEPA-type filters?
True HEPA filters can capture 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 microns in size, making them highly effective for allergens and pollutants. HEPA-type filters, on the other hand, may not meet this stringent standard and can be less effective. For optimal air quality, investing in a True HEPA filter is recommended.
