NFR12 & NFS16
- Nylon Mesh Filters are washable. These filters will protect the inner filters from
larger particles and therefore extend the life and usage of the primary HEPA filters. Always make sure
the Air Scrubber is turned off before removing filters. Before cleaning, remove all the debris from the
nylon mesh, rinse with water and lay filter flat on a clean and dry surface and let dry completely before
re-installing. NFR12 fits X-3500 model only; the NFS16 fits all XPOWER Air Scrubbers.

CF35
- Activated Carbon Filters are used to remove contaminants and impurities through the process
of chemical absorption. The CF35 captures a wide variety of volatile organic compounds that includes
smoke, food odors, fumes from paint and paint thinners, sewer odors and more. Carbon Filters can be
reused if the adsorbed substances are removed. This process is known as 'regeneration'. Simply
heating the spent carbon at a given temperature for an adequate length of time can regenerate activated
carbon to the point where it can be reused. The CF35 fits the X-3500 and X-3700 models; it is placed
inside the housing in front of the HEPA filter. Always make sure that the Air Scrubber is turned off when
removing the carbon filter. Never use water to clean the CF35 filters. Use vacuum or clean cloth and lay
it flat on a clean and dry surface. For best results, put the CF35 under the sun and leave it there for a
couple of hours. The capacity of the carbon filter will vary widely depending on conditions, but it should
be replaced when a decline of effectiveness is noted.
