Filtrete Compatible Filters

Air Purifiers

• Air purifiers are appliances that eliminate bacteria to provide clean air inside a home or office. The purifier is placed in a room so it can suck in the air inside the room through its vents. Then the device cycles the air inside the purifier and through a filter, which is responsible for catching all of the contaminants that were previously were in the air. After the filter has caught the dirt and the germs, the newly cleaned air is then released from the purifier into the room. Thus, the purifier helps maintain a safe and healthy quality of air within the given room.

Filters

• After being used for an extended period of time, the filters of air purifiers often become worn or clogged and lose their effectiveness. When old filters no longer function correctly, replace them with brand new filters that should work effectively. Your purifier may specify that you need Filtrete-compatible filters.

Compatible

• Filtrete is just one of many companies that make filters and air purifiers, and thus Filtrete filters generally only work on Filtrete air purifiers. Also, there are many types of Filtrete filters, and different models of filters are compatible with different models of air purifiers. You can generally distinguish which filter will work with your air purifier by matching the model of your purifier with the model number of the compatible filter. For instance, the "3M Filtrete FAPF03 Air Filter Compatible for FAP03" is designed to specifically replace filters for the Filtrete Ultra Clean Air Purifier FAP03 models. Likewise, the 3M Filtrete FAPF02 Compatible Air Filter is compatible to replace filters for the Filtrete FAP02 air purifier model.

Advantages

• Although different models have slightly difference characteristics, many of the filters offer similar features. For example, most Filtrete filters are designed to capture around 99.9 percent of common indoor pollutants, including pollen, dust, mold spores, bacteria, pet dander, viruses carried by particles, smog, smoke and offensive odors.
