Changing Filters
Filter Benefits and Life Expectancy: ZEPA-500 filters protect the unit’s
interior and assure top performance. Six months of solid performance
is normal. However, if you live in or near high particulate conditions
(heavy pollen, near a freeway, etc.), if you smoke, own pets or are
remodeling, etc., your filter life will shorten. If you own a Particle
Counter, you can test the capture efficiency and know exactly when
your filters need changing. To extend filter life, vacuum the front and
back grilles weekly, and vacuum both filters weekly for the first month,
then twice a month thereafter. To make sure your unit is working at its
optimum performance, refer to “

Double ZEPA Filtration:
The pre-filter (at the
back of the unit) is designed to keep the unit’s
interior clean, while the “finishing filter” (at the
front of the unit) is designed to capture not only
large particles, but more importantly, millions of
.3 micron size and smaller - which are the most
harmful to our health.
