FILTR Revolution Air Purifier Questions & Answers
Q: How many square feet does one unit cover?
A: FILTR Revolution is designed to cover 12,000 cubic feet of air without the carbon filter with 2.5 air changes per hour at 500 CFM. In terms of how many square feet does it cover, these numbers are listed below:
- 1,200 sqft room with 10-foot ceilings
- 1,000 sqft room with 12-foot ceilings
- 857 sqft room with 14-foot ceilings
- 750 sqft room with 16-foot ceilings
- 600 sqft room with 20-foot ceilings
Q: Can this be integrated into our HVAC system?
A: Yes, Filtr Revolution can be integrated into an existing HVAC. This would be done by creating a bypass to the HVAC system and ducting air from that system directly into and or out of FILTR Revolution. This ducting connection is made via the optional 10” duct adapter kit.
Q: What is the warranty?
A: Warranty is 2 years from date of purchase on the Revolution
Q: What is the MERV rating system?
A: MERV means Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value which was developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioner Engineers - ASHRAE. MERV values vary from 1 to 16. The higher the MERV value is the value the more efficient the filter will be in trapping airborne particles.
Q: What is a HEPA filter?
A: A HEPA filter is a proprietary designed filter created to remove particulate contamination ranging in size from 0.023 micron and larger. References:
- A MERV 8 rated filter is most commonly used in home HVAC systems.
- Your eye can see down to 35 microns (0.0013 inches) under normal light conditions
- Viruses are 0.08 to 0.12 micron (such as ebola, flu, and the coronavirus)
- Powdery Mildew spores’ range in size from 1 to 10 micron
- Botrytis spores’ range in size from 2.5 to 3 micron
Q: How does moisture effect the HEPA and Carbon filters?
A: Higher humidity levels (above 50%) will have effect carbon filtration. The higher the humidity the less adsorption the carbon filter will be. Humidity will not affect the HEPA filter's performance in terms of particle capture.
Q: What is the expected life of the filters?
A: The expected life of any of the filters is dependent on the level of chemical or particulate in the air and the speed at which the unit is run at. Below are general guidelines for filter replacement. Your specific application may be different.
- Pre-Filter: 6 months (Washable)
- Carbon Filter: 12 months
- HEPA Filter: 24-60 months
Q: Does this system create ozone?
A: No.
There is no ozone generated by Filtr Revolution. Our air purifier is approved by California Air Resources Board (C.A.R.B.).
Q: What are the Mounting options?
A: There are 3 mounting options for FILTR Revolution.
- FILTR Revolution comes standard with wheels and can be placed on any flat surface
- Optional ceiling mount brackets are available to allow FILTR Revolution to be hung from the ceiling.
- Optional wall mount brackets are available to allow FILTR Revolution to be mounted vertically to a wall or column.
Q: Can I Positively Pressurize a Room with a FILTR Revolution Unit?
A: FILTR Revolution have been designed to allow for ducting air into and or out of the unit.
By pulling air from an adjacent room and pushing that air into the room you want to pressurize you will positively pressurize the space the air is going into. The pressure level will vary depending on how well the room you want to pressurize is sealed.
