Particles as small as 0.1um (more than 100 times thinner than a human hair) are filtered by the HEPA filter of the Sensibo Pure. This includes contaminants such as bacteria and viruses, as well as PM (particulate matter) PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10. Additionally, the active carbon filter absorbs atoms of harmful gases such as smoke and VOCs (Volatile Organic Components).
Our filters incorporate a carbon filter that traps odor molecules through a process called absorption. Basically these molecules attach to the outside of a surface, rather than being soaked into it.
It's a good practice to clean the filter from time to time with a wet wipe on the outside surface. However, the internal HEPA & Active Carbon filtration system is very delicate and cannot be cleaned, so it needs to be replaced to ensure the same level of purification.
On average 6 months is the right time to replace your Pure filters. But not all homes are created equal, so the Sensibo Pure uses a special algorithm that analyzes your home inside/outside pollution levels , usage patterns and other parameters in order to calculate the right replacement frequency for you.
