General Information  
Media Filters  
ponents independent from each other, so that the filter  
that is dirty/saturated can be changed. This is more  
economical than a system where you need to throw  
out two or three filters when only one needs changing.  
Media filters strain particulates from the air. The filter  
media needs to have tiny holes to allow air to pass  
through, but not particulates. Filter types vary for all  
sorts of purposes. The most effective and proven filter  
media is HEPA. HEPA filter media is 99.97% efficient  
at capturing particles which are 0.3 micron in size or  
larger.  
The HEPA System’s 3 Stage Filtration Process  
The 3 stage filtration process is used to create a very  
effective filtration system. Each filter is independent  
and can be changed individually.  
Carbon Filters  
Stage 1: Pre-filter - The inexpensive pre-filter (foam  
Carbon media is used to capture chemicals and odors,  
also referred to as V.O.C.’s. Chemicals and odors  
cannot be captured with media type filters. Activated  
carbon collects chemicals and odors in a process  
called adsorption. If air passes through the carbon fil-  
ter before particulates are removed, the surface of the  
carbon quickly gets covered with particulates, render-  
ing it ineffective at capturing chemicals and odors. If  
particulates are removed from the air with a HEPA fil-  
ter, virtually the entire surface area of the carbon can  
be used to capture chemicals and odors. This  
increases the efficiency and filter life of the carbon fil-  
ter.  
or carbon) removes larger particulates from the air,  
thus prolonging the life of the HEPA filter.  
Stage 2: HEPA - The HEPA filter removes 99.97%  
of particulates 0.3 micron and larger. The cleaned air  
then passes through the third stage filter.  
Stage 3: Carbon - The carbon filter is about 1/2 an  
inch thick to give it plenty of surface area for removing  
chemicals and odors from the air. This filter may be  
replaced by an optional heavy duty granular carbon  
canister available for maximum removal of chemicals  
and odors. The clean air is then reintroduced into the  
air you breathe.  
Separate HEPA and Carbon Filters  
HEPA and carbon filters have different life spans. It is  
important for a filtration system to keep the filter com-

Notes:  
• Industry experience indicates that one (1) air change per hour generally provides adequate air cleaning. Actual  
results will depend on multiple factors such as outdoor particulate levels, infiltration rate, indoor activities etc.  
• Generally speaking, the more air changes per hour provided, the more effective a HEPA system will be. People  
with sensitivities may desire a higher number of air changes per hour for cleaner air.

Dealer Installation Instructions  
Forced air handler/furnace systems:  
The HEPA system should be installed as a bypass system, with part of the return ducted into the HEPA system. The  
filtered air is then rerouted back into the return air, and continues through the system to be heated/cooled.  
Typical Return to Return Application  
For homes with upflow forced air handler/furnace sys-  
tems.(Air handler/furnace is shown in a typical base-

Dealer Installation Instructions  
Forced air handler/furnace system with an HRV/ERV  
This application provides filtration of all Outdoor Air (OA) that is brought into the home through the HRV/ERV,  
thus reducing the introduction of dust, pollen and mold from the outdoor air. For systems that have HRV/ERV  
units installed, we recommend ducting the ‘fresh air’ outflow from the HRV/ERV into the HEPA system. If the  
HRV/ERV CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating is lower than that of the HEPA system, an additional return needs  
to be installed into the HEPA system (See figure 8.) The outflow air from the HEPA system then needs to be  
installed into the main return of the air handler/furnace system. Ensure that you follow the proper installation  
instructions as outlined in the HRV/ERV Installation manual(s).

Intake (Marked as ‘Air In’ on unit):  
Most HRV/ERV systems will not move as much air  
as the HEPA system. For these systems, install an  
additional return from another treated air source  
into the HEPA system.  
Electricity:  
The unit must be plugged into a grounded 120V,  
60Hz outlet.  
If using an additional return duct, it should be  
installed upstream of any humidifiers. The fresh  
air outflow of the HRV/ERV should be "Y" connect-  
ed to the additional return duct then connected to  
the inlet of the HEPA system.  
The additional return duct (if any) should be  
installed at least 6 ft. away from the outflow duct  
on the main return.

Dealer Installation Instructions  
Independent Operation:  
The HEPA systems can be used independently of any other equipment! The intake and outflow of the filtration  
system can be ducted into the same room to create a cleaner environment almost anywhere. The intake or out-  
flow can also be ducted elsewhere. The intake and outflow should be installed on opposite sides of the room;  
however, this varies according to your specific needs.

Operation  
1. Make sure that the unit is plugged into a grounded outflow (120 Volt, 60 Hz).  
2. For optimum performance, the HEPA system should operate when the indoor air handler/furnace blower is on.  
3. For model 2500HV & 4000HV: Turn the unit on by pressing the on/off switch to the ‘1’ position. The switch  
should light up when the unit is on.  
For models 6000V, 6500, 8500 & 10000: Turn the unit on by rotating the variable speed dial clockwise. The  
unit starts in High speed, turn all the way clockwise for low speed.  
4. For model 2500HV & 4000HV: To turn the unit off, press the on/off switch to the ‘0’ position. The switch light  
should turn off when the unit is off.  
For models 6000V, 6500, 8500 & 10000: To turn the unit off, rotate the variable speed dial counter-clock-  
wise until you feel or hear it click into the ‘off’ position  
Maintenance  
Proper care and maintenance of your HEPA system  
will ensure years of service. The unit must be turned  
off during service/maintenance or when filters are  
being changed.  
Filter Changing Guidelines  
Pre-Filter:  
Dust and other large particles will collect on the pre-fil-  
ter over time. The color of the filter will change as par-  
ticulates build up on the pre-filter. Change the pre-fil-  
ter when you can see the particulate build up start to  
clog up the pre-filter.  
It is recommended that gloves and a filtered  
breathing mask be worn during filter replacement.  
!
WARNING  
HEPA Filter:  
As the HEPA filter captures particulates, it will darken  
over time. Replace the HEPA filter when it darkens to  
the level seen in example D.  
Electrical Shock Hazard.  
Can cause injury or death.  
Disconnect all electrical power supplies  
before servicing.  
A. New  
B. Used  
C. Used  
D. Replace  
Do not operate equipment without  
access panels in place  
!
CAUTION  
Inner Carbon Filter:  
Risk of Sharp Edges Hazard.  
The inner carbon filter will rarely look used. This filter  
captures odors and gasses, yet the filter’s appearance  
will not change. When this filter has reached it’s maxi-  
mum adsorbancy of odors and gasses, it will no longer  
work. Replace this filter when it no longer seems to  
capture odors, or every 3 months (12 months for  
optional Carbon Canister), which ever occurs first.  
Equipment sharp edges can cause injuries.  
Avoid grasping equipment edges without protective  
gloves.  
Filter Change Schedule  
Note: Note: Failure to properly maintain your HEPA  
system will decrease the efficiency and air flow.  
Pre-Filter  
Pre-Filter: 3 to 4 months*  
HEPA Filter: 2 to 5 years  
HEPA Filter  
Inner Carbon Filter: 6 months  
Optional Carbon Canister: 12 months  
* Foam pre-filters (4000HV & 6000V) can be washed  
and reused  
Inner Carbon Filter  
NOTE: Filter life is based on average air content. Some  
filters may need to be changed more often due to higher  
amounts of dust, humidity, or chemicals found in your

4. HEPA Filter Replacement  
Equipment sharp edges can cause injuries.  
a. If replacing the HEPA filter with a new filter, discard  
old HEPA filter and use new when replacing the  
HEPA filter into the unit.  
b. With each annual filter replacement kit, a new ‘o’  
ring is provided. The old one is removed by pinch-  
ing it between two fingers and pulling it off the col-  
lar on the blower deck.  
c. Discard old ‘o’ ring.  
d. Place the new ‘o’ ring onto the collar and slide it  
down to the base of the blower deck.  
Avoid grasping equipment edges without protective  
gloves.  
It is recommended that gloves and a filtered  
breathing mask be worn during filter replacement  
to avoid breathing particulates (dust, mold, pollen,  
etc.) captured on the filter that become airborne  
during the filter(s) changeout.  
The old filters should be wrapped and sealed in  
plastic bags immediately upon removal from the  
unit to avoid distributing particles throughout the  
house during the process of disposal.  
5. Optional Carbon Canister  
a. Remove old carbon canister (if installed) by pulling  
it out from the inside of the HEPA filter.  
b. If replacing an inner carbon filter with the carbon  
canister, remove inner carbon filter by following  
the steps a. to c. in section 3.

are ready to be placed back into the unit. Place  
the HEPA cartridge gently into the unit (if a carbon  
canister is being used, take care not to let it slide  
out as it is heavy and could damage the unit)  
b. When the HEPA cartridge is in place, brace the unit,  
press down and gently turn it clockwise to lock it into  
place. If too much force is used, the cartridge may be  
difficult to remove!  
c. Stretch the new/washed filter around the top of the  
HEPA cartridge and slide it down into place
