Maintenance:
The filter media in your air cleaner must be changed
periodically. The frequency of filter replacement is best
determined by visual examination. However, a bi-
annual replacement of the 5” filter and 30 days for the
1” filter is strongly recommended. Replacement filters
obtained through your installing contractor or local
dealer. - Actual replacement may vary depending on
the severity of dust and dirt particles.
If the Photocatalytic aluminum filter should become
dirty, it may be cleaned with low velocity
compressed air or vacuum only, no solvents or
water should be used. If the Photocatalytic section
becomes wet, allow the section to air dry before
reinstallation.
The aluminum mesh screen on the Photocatalytic filter
is coated using a patented process known to photo
chemically breakdown VOC’s and Odors as well as
reduce airborne pathogens on contact. Under normal
operating conditions this filter should last up to 10
years.

*MERV or Minimum efficiency rating value is a number
assigned to filters indicating their ability to capture
particles and dust, the higher the number the better the
