Pre Filter
It may not seem like a very important lter in the system, but a Pre Filter is actually invaluable
to the eciency of the Mammoth Air xC. The Pre Filter catches the majority of large particles
that linger in the air indoors. As the air is circulated through the air purier, the Pre Filter traps
these larger particles. The Pre Filter is easy to remove and should be washed frequently.
Without the Pre Filter, the next lter in line, the HEPA lter, can become clogged with larger
particles oating in the air, requiring more frequent lter replacement. This is especially true
if you have a large family with lots of animals and kids that produce dander, hair, and other
large particles.
It is absolutely necessary to keep an eye on the Pre Filter to determine if it is ling up with
particles. If the Pre Filter is not changed out regularly, the eectiveness of the rest of the
Mammoth Air 1000 may be compromised.
High-Eciency HEPA Filter
HEPA stands for High Eciency Particulate Arresting lters, which basically explains exactly
what they do. HEPA lters are eective at capturing dust, mold, pollens, allergens and other
solid particles as small as 3 micron. Through a very ne paper-like lter, the pollutants in the
air pass through the HEPA lter and are trapped. At this point, any bacteria and particles die
because the HEPA lters are dry and sterile, preventing any future growth.
