What is the life cycle of the Hepa filter and the Carbon Pre-Filters?

The life of the Hepa filter is 12 month and the life of the pre-filter is 6 months.

Our household and environs are so dusty and polluted that I need to check the pre-filters monthly and the HEPAs twice yearly. Otherwise they become so choked with filth that they become ineffective. So while the 3 & 12 month cycles are recommended your mileage may vary.

This is the manufacturer's recommendation: "Before operating the air purifier, record the date of installation on the HEPA filter. Under normal conditions, the HEPA filter should be replaced annually, and the pre-filter should be replaced every 3 months." That is directly from the manual. I have had my air purifier for about 6 months and have only changed the pre-filter once. I vacuum if off about every 2 weeks. Your situation might be different depending on how must dust is being filtered.

The Hepa filter needs to be changed yearly and the carbon pre filters every 3- 4 months, depending on things like: are there animals in the house; how many? etc.

This one has a carbon filter that sits in front of the HEPA filter to catch pet dander. It catches a lot but doesn't last long

The Whirlpool E-Console APR45130L comes with the Whirlpool True HEPA filter (Usually change every 12 months depending on usage and the air quality in your home) and it also comes with the Carbon pre-filter that removes odors and catches larger particles like pet hair. The Pre-filter usually needs to be changed every 3-6months and using the pre-filters properly extends the life of the HEPA filter. The purifier also has filter meters that will tell you when it is time to replace the filters. Leave it your own visual check of the filters to tell you when it is time to replace! Hope this helps.

You change the charcoal filter every three monthsAnd you change the Heper filter once a year You can gently vacuum the charcoal filter when you want from time to time but change it after three months

The Carbon in these filters is also virgin charcoal (this just means that the carbon has been treated). They are rated to last up to 1.5 years. The fan also comes with a 1 year manufacturer warranty.

No, this is the first filter that takes all the particles out of the air. The HEPA is internal. You need both: one to remove the crud, the other to scrub the air

I vacuum the Carbon pre-filter once a week and never need to change the expensive Hepa-filter.I lay it flat on the carpet dirt side up, use the vacuum hose, no attachment, just as a routine ~~ after 2 or three years I replace the carbon filter.

The prefilter is there to catch sediment before the water passes through the carbon filters. This prevents the carbon from getting clogged up prematurely, extending the life of the unit. We recommend replacing the prefilter cartridge at least every 3 months. Actual interval will depend on your incoming water quality.

The filter should be changed every 6 months if used continuously. HEPA filter traps very fine particles, down to 0.3 micro; and the carbon filter absorbs the small and other particles from the air. People are always surprised when they see the old one vs new one (and that's only the big particles trapped). The replacement filters are $20.

Hi. Do you mean the outer white pre filter? If so, I believe it's just made out of felt. The inside carbon can't be replaced. It should work for about a year before needing to be replaced.

This is the pre-filter replacement, not the hepa. This filter (the pre-filter) wraps around the actual hepa filter.

The carbon filter is laying on top of the HEPA filter. So when you open it up,, there is a tight seal on the carbon filter which is pushed against the HEPA filter. It's kind of hard to explain, but the door is what presses the carbon and seals, so to speak, the HEPA.

This is the replacement filter for this unit: Winix Size 17 Replacement Filter Set (113050)It will last a year. You want to replace the carbon filter about every 3 month and the HEPA filter every year. You get 4 carbon filters (3 months x 4 carbon filters = 12 months of filtering) and one HEPA filter (one of these will last a year).

The pre filter... yes its like a sponge.... the HEPA paper filter I would just gently vacuum it to extend the life of the filter

Both. It's dual filter - carbon filter removes odor the HEPA filter removes the carcinogens

It comes with "permanent HEPA Filter" which means you do not need to replace it only the carbon pre-filter needs to be replaced. I have used similar Honeywell units for over 5 years with the same filter. I just blow it out with a compressor or vacuum it once a year. One of the main reasons I bought this model was for the permanent filter.
