FILTER CLEANING TIPS AND TRICKS
Over time, the filters in your OxyPure can get caked with dust,
pollen, pathogens and other contaminants that can be accidentally
inhaled or released into the air if the filters are not handled properly
during cleaning.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Filter Cleaning
Ideally, you should clean your filters outdoors, where you will have access
to a water hose (DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER) that will allow
you to clean the filters from a distance while eliminating the possibility of
reintroducing trapped contaminants back into your home. Outdoor cleaning,
however, is not always practical due to weather or property issues (i.e.,
you live in an apartment), so you will have to clean your filters indoors. It is
not difficult, and to make it even easier and more effective, here are some
general and filter-specific cleaning tips.
General Tips
1. Always Wear a Mask
This will prevent accidental inhalation of any contaminants when
cleaning your filters.
2. Move the OxyPure, Not the Filters
Move the OxyPure as close as possible to the location where you
will clean the filters. This will minimize the chance of the filter being
shaken (see 3, below).
3. Handle the Filters Carefully
As you remove the filters from the unit, be careful not to shake, drop,
bump, or otherwise agitate them as doing so can cause the release of
trapped contaminants.
4. Dry the Filters Completely
Never install a wet or damp filter into your OxyPure as doing so will
interfere with the filter's function.
Filter-Specific Tips
1. The Stainless-Steel Prefilter (Filter 1)
•
Immerse the filters in water immediately to eliminate the chance of
any contaminants being released into the air.
•
Wash and rinse as directed.
•
After rinsing, shake the water out the filter to help it dry.
•
Dry thoroughly, away from direct sunlight, in a room with a strong
breeze or a fan to blow air through the filter.
