3. Setup and Installation
The Glooglitter air filter is designed for easy installation and can be customized to fit various systems.
- Prepare the Filter: Upon unpacking, the filter may appear thin due to vacuum packaging. To restore its elastic thickness, gently iron it or allow it to expand naturally.

- Cut to Size: Using a tape measure and scissors, carefully cut the filter material to match the measured dimensions. The material is designed to be cut without shedding.
- Insert the Filter: Slide the cut filter into the designated slot of your HVAC system. Ensure it fits snugly to prevent air bypass.
- Directional Flow: While the filter design allows for flexibility, ensure the filter is positioned to effectively capture particles as air flows through your system.

- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the filter thoroughly under clean water until all soap residue and visible dirt are removed.
- Dry Completely: Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstallation. Ensure it is fully dry to prevent mold or mildew growth.
