- Install New HEPA Filter: Insert the new HEPA filter (15 7/8" W x 19 7/8" H x 2" D) into its slot. The filter should fit snugly.

Operating Principles
The Iridesc HEPA Filter Kit works in conjunction with your air exchanger to purify indoor air. The kit includes:
- Two Pre-Filters: These filters capture larger airborne particles such as dust, pet dander, and construction debris, protecting the HEPA filter and extending its lifespan.
- One High-Performance HEPA Filter: This filter is designed to capture 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including bacteria, allergens, smoke, and fine dust, significantly improving indoor air quality.
The combined action of the pre-filters and the HEPA filter ensures comprehensive removal of irritants and airborne particles, contributing to a healthier breathing environment.

Maintenance and Replacement
To ensure optimal performance and maintain air quality, regular replacement of your Iridesc HEPA Filter Kit components is essential:
- Pre-Filters: It is recommended to change the pre-filters every 2 to 3 months.
- HEPA Filter: The main HEPA filter should be replaced every 4 to 6 months.
Replacement frequency may vary based on usage and environmental conditions. For example, in environments with higher levels of dust, pet dander, or pollutants, more frequent replacement (1-2 times per month for pre-filters) may be necessary.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your air exchanger's filtration after installing the Iridesc HEPA Filter Kit, consider the following:
- Reduced Airflow: Check if the filters are installed correctly and not obstructed. Ensure the air exchanger unit itself is functioning properly.
- Persistent Odors/Particles: Verify that the filters are seated tightly and there are no gaps allowing unfiltered air to bypass. Consider if the filters need more frequent replacement due to environmental factors.
- Unusual Noises: Ensure the filters are not vibrating or loose within their compartments.
For issues unrelated to filter installation, consult your air exchanger's specific troubleshooting guide or contact a qualified technician.
