Operating Information
The Leitz TruSens Odour and VOC Replacement Filter operates continuously as part of your Leitz TruSens Z-3000 or Z-3500 air purifier system. Once installed, the air purifier draws air through the filter, where the activated carbon pellets absorb odours and VOCs.
The effectiveness of the filter is directly related to the air purifier's operation. Ensure your air purifier is running according to its own operating instructions for optimal performance of the Odour and VOC filter.
