Often overlooked, the importance of maintaining clean pre-filters cannot be emphasized enough when it comes to efficient air filtration. By keeping your pre-filters clean, you significantly enhance the performance and lifespan of your carbon filters.
Pre-filters play a crucial role in preventing airborne particles like dust and small insects from obstructing the micro and mesopores in the carbon. Ensuring the cleanliness of your pre-filters also maximizes airflow through the filter, guaranteeing proper ventilation in your space. In addition to dust and dirt, high humidity can also reduce the lifespan of your carbon filter, underscoring the significance of maintaining optimal airflow.
Having spare pre-filters readily available for easy replacement is a smart practice. If needed, you can clean soiled pre-filters by rinsing them with water and allowing them to dry.
Moreover, pre-filters serve as excellent intake filters. Simply close one end and place it over your inlet fan or duct, ensuring that all incoming air remains free from dust and insects.
