Filter Types
By efficiency, filters are divided into classes of the degree of air purification:
- Rough;
- Thin;
- Highly efficient.
Most air cleaners use multiple filters.
Prefilter
The pre-filter retains large microparticles up to 10 microns – fluff, pet hair, dust. Protects other filters. It must be cleaned and washed, with constant use of the cleaner, it is advisable to change the prefilter after 6 months.
Photocatalytic Filter
Ultraviolet with a catalyst – components of a photocatalytic filter. Ultraviolet rays disinfect the air from ARVI pathogens, mold, eliminate unpleasant odors, and decompose toxic substances.

Therefore, you only need to change the UV lamp every six months or a year. The effectiveness of the destruction of viruses and bacteria 99.9%!
Carbon Filter
The adsorbent absorbs smoke, unpleasant animal odors. Also, cooking odors from the kitchen, mildew smells, toxic substances. After 4-6 months of air purification in this way, it is necessary to change the filter. It is not recommended to operate the air cleaner without filter replacement. It will pollute the air even more.
Electrostatic Filter
Thin polypropylene fibers with microscopic holes trap dirt up to 1 micron. With the help of an electric discharge, the filter easily attracts dust. For high-quality cleaning of a dusty room, you should choose a HEPA filter. Electrostatic tends to get dirty. It needs to be changed more often.
