4. Filter Functionality

The SHAUOTR replacement filter combines two essential filtration stages:

• HEPA Filter: The High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) layer is designed to capture microscopic particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust mites, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens.
• Activated Carbon Filter: The activated carbon layer works to absorb and neutralize various household odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and harmful gases, such as formaldehyde and benzene, improving overall air freshness.

5. Maintenance

Regular filter replacement is crucial for maintaining the efficiency of your air purifier and ensuring continuous clean air. The lifespan of the filter depends on usage frequency, air quality, and environmental factors.

• Replacement Frequency: It is generally recommended to replace the HEPA and carbon filter every 6 to 12 months. Your air purifier's filter indicator light (if available) will also signal when a replacement is due.
• Cleaning: The HEPA and carbon filters are not washable and should not be cleaned with water or vacuumed, as this can damage the filter media and reduce effectiveness. Replace the entire filter unit when necessary.
• Storage: Store new, unused filters in their original sealed packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues after replacing your filter, consider the following:

• Air Quality Not Improving: Ensure the new filter is installed correctly and all packaging has been removed. Check if the air purifier's filter reset button (if applicable) has been pressed.
• Unusual Odors: If new or persistent odors are present, the carbon filter may be saturated or improperly installed. Verify installation or consider if the filter needs replacement sooner due to high pollution levels.
• Reduced Airflow: Confirm the filter is seated correctly and not obstructed. If the issue persists, consult your air purifier's original manual.
