Filter for Sensibo Pure
The Sensibo Pure Filter is a replacement filter specifically designed for the Sensibo Pure smart air purifier. The filter is an essential component of the air purifier and plays a crucial role in removing airborne pollutants and improving indoor air quality.
The Sensibo Pure Filter is a combination filter that typically consists of multiple layers, each with a specific function:
-
Pre-Filter: This initial layer helps capture larger particles such as dust, pet hair, and lint, preventing them from entering the main filter.
-
Activated Carbon Filter: The activated carbon layer effectively absorbs and reduces odors, smoke, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in the air.
-
High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filter: The HEPA filter is the primary filtration layer that traps microscopic particles, including allergens, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and fine dust particles.
What particle sizes are filtered by the Pure?
Particles as small as 0.1um (more than 100 times thinner than 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).
Why can't I just clean the filter instead of replacing 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.
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.
