- Charged Polypropylene: Attracts smaller particles and maintains airflow.
- Cellulose Mesh: Captures larger particles, reducing buildup on internal components.
- Activated Carbon: Absorbs odors and fumes.
- Antimicrobial Treatment: Helps prevent bacterial growth on the filter.
Recommendation: Replace filters after every job to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. At a minimum, replace filters when visible soil is present.
