What are the filters? are they carbon filters? I'm looking for something that removes VOCs as well as everything else

Yes, these are carbon filters. Most VOCs should also be eliminated by the distill process.

They are carbon filters. Apparently they are to enhance the flavor on the water. Lately I'm not using any filter and do not notice any difference in flavor.

Carbon filters. You don't need it since it only removes a rubbery-like taste / smell from the stainless steel boiler lid gasket.

They are carbon filters. They should be on the "frequently bought together" section at the bottom of the listing. A 4-pack for $22.95

The black filters are a charcoal/carbon based system and remove/bind some chemicals/compounds that ceramic filters do not (they mainly remove particulate material - including bacteria, some viruses, protozoa, etc.).

I use 3M 6001 organic vapor cartridges, plus a dust/particulate prefilter. The prefilter wouldn't be necessary for only organic vapors/gases. This is the filter I'd use, unless the MSDS calls for something special.

Only the carbon "post filter" cups. Not bad though, I refresh mine by running boiling distilled water through them after about 60 gallons or so. They come in boxes of six from Waterwise and I get two years out of a box. I distill a gallon of water (sometimes two) every day.

I don't know anything about any filters, I'm no help. Hope you can get your answer questioned.

I never use carbon in my filters, I think one pad is enough to keep the water clean, but if you have too much tanines you can use in bothRegards

It can definitely be used with a carbon filter. I have one in my room now scrubbing the air, it works great and is quiet. I highly recommend. This is the filter I paired it with,

So does the Fram CF10134 as well as models from Denso, Bosch, Mann, Purolator, Premium Guard, Pentius, etc. These are very simple plated filters, and I would expect them all to work about the same. A few of them include activated carbon to help remove odors. I have never tried the activated carbon filters.

Yes Marge. We use a carbon filter as it removes chlorine, iron,organics from our private well. I trust you and your family are doing well. Kindest regards, Lynn

There is a hepa filter that is permanent but there are carbon filters that need to be replaced every 3 months for odor.

Unless I am misunderstanding your question, painting is exactly what these filters are for. I am using them to paint my entire house interior with an airless sprayer and they work great. No fumes and do not clog.

Elizabeth-This is a particulate filter, it will NOT remove ANY odor as there is no activated charcoal to remove odors. I would recommend a nuisance filter mask as a minimum. A half face respirator would be a better choice. Also, if the odors are that strong, I would look at the MSDS for the fragrances and look into better ventilation as part of the solution. The fragrance manufacturer should be able to recommend what type of respirator cartrige would be best.

Thanks for reminding me. Just checked out my carbon filter and it was filthy. No wonder I've been coughing and sneezing. Just ordered another combo pack through Amazon.

First off, these are not filters but an electroplate of sorts that creates a charged spark (think lightening) that changes the ions in the air that is pulled past the plates creating the clean ozone smell. I have had two of the machines for about 15 years and Ammonia is what I was told to use. Actually, the person I purchased them from said ammonia based window cleaner works and that is what I have used with a soft brush then rinse The metal filter in the back of mine I wash with dishwashing liquid. As the other person who replied indicated, they must be thoroughly dry before reinserting in your machine.

The filter that came with unit does not remove carbon. The ap 817 is the filter that reduces carbon.

If u are capable of removing and replacing robots, I'm not rel impressed with the smell removal, if smell is a big issue for u look elsewhere. I hear with some of these cheap filters the carbon gets settled and creates channels that allow unfiltered air to be expelled out of your room.

There are two filters. The first filter is a thin mesh that you could vacuum off and then wash by hand. I run my unit 24/7 and the mesh filter needs changing several times a year. The second filter is a HEPA filter and it's not washable. I've changed it once after one year of use and these filters are not cheap.
