I was told it does remove mold particules in the air. So I believe the answer is yes.

Yes - for mold *spores*. Mold spores are from 3 to 40 microns. The BlueAir HEPA filters work down to 0.1 micron. ref: http://us.blueair.com/PDF/Particle%20Filter%20Factsheet.pdf

Cone shaped filters are the only ones that will work correctly. Check the Chemex site for the correct size.

It does not, but I haven't had abut trouble with mold. Just be sure to squeeze the sponge out before putting it away.

Mold spores are too large to make it through the mask filters. If mold is all you are trying to protect yourself from, you can use the disposable "N95" masks.

Mine did not come with filters. Not that I needed them. I turned them into a Steampunk costume piece. But no, no filters included, unless it says it comes with them.

YES! It will, mine was an F filter also. They fit very snug so they will not fall off with the wind tunnel/spinning action of the debris you pick up. They wash up very nice, I always use some sort of bathroom mildew spray just so it doesn't mildew or mold. I will be buying another set.

I have used these filters for the past 1 1/2 years without any problems. Sorry you encountered a problem.

Good question! So far the only thing we have found that works to remove mold is a pressure washer.

Never, they are permanent filters. There are two filters and I recommend washing them once a month. One filter is located in the ballassembly. The other filter is located where the handle to the dirt container is.

No - the humidifier does not take filters, and the tank is mold and mildew resistant. I've been using the older model for a year, and haven't had any trouble with bacteria/mold.

yes the unit does remove mold spores. However unless the source of mold spores is addressed, no filter can prevent exposure in the short term.

yes, I believe it will. Most mold spores are 10-30 microns in size. This filter removes particles down to .3 microns.

I have not had any problem with mold or mildew. I don't know what material they are made from. All I know is they work for my handicapped husband.

Yes they will. I believe that these filters work -- they do on our coffee pot. Enjoy using -- please use them. Thanks for asking

Yes, these are just meant to be dropped into the water tank, and they work well. I have the same problem with mold in the humidifier base you are experiencing, and I clean it periodically the low-tech way with a paper towel and a bit of dish detergent.

I'm not sure? Wish I could be of more assistance. They do work well tho, once they've been pre-soaked. Seem to filter out nearly ALL of contaminants.
