the Air Scrubber is turned off before removing the filter. Apply gentle pressure when cleaning the
surface of the filter to avoid breaking. Never use water when cleaning the PF16. If the filter is loaded
with particles, it is advised to replace it with a new one.
HEPA35 & HEPA50 – HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE AIR FILTERS, also known as HEPA
filters, ensure superior air quality inside our homes and protect us from a wide range of health risks
associated with indoor air pollution. These filters are designed and implemented to trap even the tiniest
contaminants (approximately 99.97% of all particles measuring 0.3 microns) that aren’t usually captured
by traditional air filters, in order to prevent allergies and other common respiratory problems. HEPA
filters require a simple maintenance routine, which can be performed in a timely and cost-effective
manner. To maximize HEPA filter life, be sure to change the pre-filter regularly. The Filter Change Light
will light up when filters need attention. Always make sure that the Air Scrubber is turned off when
removing the HEPA filters. Never use water to clean the HEPA filters. Use vacuum or clean cloth and
lay it flat on a clean, dry surface. When putting the HEPA filter back into the machine, make sure the
side with the gasket is facing the motor housing to prevent air leakage. HEPA35 fits X-3500; HEPA50
fits X-3400A & X-3700.
Precautionary Measure When Cleaning and Changing Filters
An air scrubber captures particles that can be hazardous to human health.
During the process of changing filters, decontamination, or performing
maintenance, large concentrations of captured particles can become
airborne in the immediate area. For these reasons, air scrubber operators
should wear appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE) when
performing any type of service on an air scrubber. A NIOSH-approved
respirator is always essential for these tasks. If you’ve used the air scrubber
for mold remediation or in another environment with known contaminants,
you should also consider wearing gloves, eye protection and coverall
NIOSH-Approved
Respirator Mask
The particles captured by a filter can cause adverse human health effects once they are released into
the air. For this reason, you should dispose of used filters with care. You should place used filters in a
plastic bag and seal the top before disposing. Always follow local regulations before disposing.
Disposal of Filters
The filters may need to be changed after certain period of time depending on your usage and the life of
each type of filters.
