2. Assembly Instructions
The QwikBox filter requires assembly before installation. Follow these steps carefully:
Step 1: Unpack and Prepare
Place the collapsed filter on a flat surface with the tabs facing up and the metal side down. To open the filter, gently lift and pull, then shake both ends simultaneously from the shaded area shown in the diagram. This action helps the filter expand.
Step 2: Expand the Filter Pleats
Fold up any sides of the filter that may be stuck down. Exercise caution around the metal edges to avoid injury. The filter should now resemble the expanded view shown in the diagram, with all pleats fully extended and forming a box shape.
Step 3: Attach the Lids
Open the filter lids and erect the corners as indicated. Apply the lid to the bottom section of the filter, ensuring a secure fit. Refer to any additional instructions printed directly on the filter or packaging for specific lid attachment details.

3. Installation and Operation
Once assembled, the TopTech TechPure TT-FM-1620 filter is ready for installation into your compatible TopTech or TechPure TT-MAC-1722 air cleaner unit. Ensure the airflow arrow on the filter frame points in the direction of the air handler. Proper installation is critical for optimal performance.
The filter operates passively by capturing airborne particles as air passes through your HVAC system. No user interaction is required during operation.
4. Maintenance and Replacement
Regular replacement of your air filter is essential for maintaining indoor air quality and the efficiency of your air cleaner system. The replacement frequency depends on factors such as usage, presence of pets, and environmental conditions.
- Recommended Replacement: It is generally recommended to replace the filter every 6 months.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the filter for visible dirt and debris. A heavily soiled filter should be replaced promptly, regardless of the recommended schedule.
- Disposal: Dispose of used filters according to local waste disposal guidelines.
Using a dirty filter can reduce airflow, decrease system efficiency, and negatively impact air quality.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing your new filter, consider the following:
- Reduced Airflow:
- Ensure the filter is fully assembled and seated correctly in the air cleaner unit.
- Verify the airflow arrow on the filter points in the correct direction.
- Check if the filter is the correct size for your air cleaner model (TT-MAC-1722).
- Filter Not Fitting:
- Re-check assembly steps to ensure all parts are correctly aligned and secured.
- Confirm the filter dimensions match the required size for your unit (15.375 x 19.375 x 3.75 inches).
- Unusual Noises:
- Ensure the filter is securely installed and not vibrating within the air cleaner housing.
If problems persist, contact customer support or consult a qualified HVAC technician.
