I want these to go in the breezeway between the house &amp; the garage. Can these be rinsed off with a water hose as often as needed?

They are definitely washable. However, the water will collect underneath them as they don't form an air tight seal and could possibly rot the floor boards. I just wipe them down with a mop and/or rag.

I would think you could wash it. There was enough pre-filter to make two anyways. So could just the other one while letting one dry. I usually just blow off the filter with an air hose so if you have access to that it works great. I do that to all my filters, like the vacuum, dust buster, window units, and then this air purifier. The deal is keeping the prefilter clean to help preserve the life of the main filter.

Mine are outdoors on my deck. I just take the power washer to them or the hose.

Just use them one load after another. That way they are already soaked and ready to suds. Every time they dry out they have to be re-soaked a bit before putting them in a load. To extend the life, pull them out before the rinse cycle. This also assures better rinsing too.

these are not stainless steel so you cannot wash them with water. You will receive a manual that indicates how you must do the cleaning, you just need to use a dry cloth

I've had mine for almost 20 years, I live in AZ where the dust builds up so wash at least once a month in the summer. I too use the garden hose but on occasion I take them to the do it yourself car wash and spray high pressure soap then high pressure rinse. To dry off like previously mentions tilting them so the water drains out of the corner speeds up the process.

No Problem...These don't take much airflow to be effective. I use to use the same setup and was never at a loss for spray.Good Luck!

I believe they're necessary for air filtration and keeping dirt out of the motor. They surely get very dirty after just one or two uses but wash out very easily. You shouldn't return them to the vac wet, so more than one makes it easy to use the appliance while one is drying.

It depends on where you have it. Inside The house it is difficult. I have mine in thr garage, so I use a hose with water to wash it.

My unit is on a second floor breezeway and only gets minimal exposure to the elements. So far I have had no problems. I can tell you that Schlage customer service is very professional, helpful, and accessible. You should call them.

They are really intended for smaller spaces such as in RVs, safes, etc... they will remove moisture in any location. I use them for our RV in Washington along the river which is a high humidity area and they last me about 2-3mnth using 3 of them in a 30' RV.

What a great idea!!! They were very clean when I got them -- but I do recommend just wiping them out with a micro-fiber cloth (switching out for another clean one often) to make sure any dust is out. Then they won't be wet when you put the M&Ms; in.

I feel that the potential for water damage is probable, and would not suggest this. sweep the garage floor , cover with plastic sheeting, place area rugs on top,then clean & dry them.

I actually use the hose outside and let them dry thoroughly and they are good to go for another few months. I don't soak them. Just blow them out good in a few seconds. Works great.

Well, I assume that if those got dirty, but this are outside for a while, dust, snow, rain, and they look like new, I guess the protective chemical that those have, is very good, however, if I need to washed it, I would probably do it in a very large washer (commercial) because those are though and heavy, otherwise I just will use a brush and water.

We wash ours before summer and before winter. We use a standard garden hose at a high velocity aimed at the inlet surface of the filter for abouttwo or three minutes and then let dry throughly (in sunlight if possible).

I would not suggest it. These are disposable, but like Ransan mentioned, it is okay to lightly rinse them out and use them several times.
