HEPA filter
A High Efficiency Particulate Air filter that removes particles from an air stream to a defined level of efficiency.
FAQ A HEPA filter is a high efficiency particulate air filter that removes particles from an air stream to a defined level of efficiency. HEPA: High-efficiency particulate air. This filter works through forcing air through a fine mesh that is able to trap harmful particles such as Tabaco smoke, dust mites and pollen. In a residential area, a HEPA filter should last between two and three years before it needs to be changed. In a commercial environment, the HEPA filter should be checked on average every 6 months and changed once a year.
