Electrostatic Air Filter
 
 
The DustFighter 95 electrostatic air filter has set the benchmark of quality that all filters strive to meet. Typical fiberglass throw-away filters can trap only 5% of pollutants. And ordinary electrostatic air filters sold through media and discount outlets trap only 80%. The DustFighter 95 is the most effective tool for eliminating 95% of common household pollutants which can harm you, your family, and your heating and cooling system.
 
 
How does it work?
 
The electrostatic air filters manufactured by Dust Free utilize synthetic material which develops an electrostatic charge as friction is applied to the plastic fibers. In the filters case, air flowing through the filter provides the necessary friction.  This can be demonstrated by rubbing the surface of the filter with a cloth briskly and placing the filter over light weight flakes of material such as tea leaves, or styrofoam chips. The small chips will be attracted to the filter surface and held there due to the charge that developed on the filter as a result of rubbing it. The electrostatic charge that is developed as air passes through the filter, increases the filters attraction to particles such as pollen, molds, and dust.
  • Washability
    Constructed with up to three layers of washable filtration media. This media can be washed hundreds of times without diminishing the electrostatic qualities of the filter.
  • Permanent
    Designed to last a lifetime, you should never have to replace it. In addition to using quality, high-endurance, high-efficiency filtration media, each of our filters are constructed with extruded aluminum frames. These frames are resistant to corrosion, provide superior strength, and will not warp due to heat. All of our electrostatic air filters come with a lifetime warranty.
  • High Efficiency
    Electrostatic air filters have advanced significantly in the last ten years. Now they are extremely efficient, with ratings up to 95%. This means they filter 95% of the particles that pass through them. Compare that to the 5%-10% that is achieved with typical disposable fiberglass filters.
  • Low Resistance
    Resistance refers to how hard your HVAC system has to work to pull air through your filter. A lower number, usually expressed as a decimal (eg: .12), is more desirable. Our air filters produce resistance in the .08 to .15 range. This means your HVAC systems runs easier and can reduce electricity and repair bills.
  • Other Benefits
    Our electrostatic air filters are able to capture many of the allergens that aggravate allergy and asthma symptoms. Pollen, molds, and dust are common in any household and can be reduced by using an air filter. You will breathe easier and have fewer symptoms while in your home.

Filter Maintenance

Our electrostatic air filters require very little maintenance. The only maintenance required is cleaning every 30-60 days. How often you have to clean your filter will depend on how dirty the environment is and how much the filter is being used. 

Cleaning Your Electrostatic Air Filter

1. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any heavy buildup of dust and lint that may have accumulated.

2. Lay the filter flat and spray it with a cleaning detergent(409, Fantastic, Rugged Red, Ivory Liquid, etc.) on one side and then the other until the filter is soaked with the detergent. The amount of detergent required will be dependent upon the amount and type of pollutants held in the filter.

3. Lay the filter with the "wash" arrow , or dirtiest side, down or prop at angle against fence or outside wall and flush the detergent from the filter using a garden hose with a nozzle set at the high pressure setting. If laying flat, a 1" or 2" object should be placed under one side of the filter frame to allow room for the water and dirt to escape.

4. Perform steps 2 and 3 until the filter is clean. If the filter is extremely soiled, it may be more convenient to use a car wash facility to remove all embedded dirt from the filter. Always lay the filter flat when using high pressure water for cleaning.

5. Shake excess water out of the filter and allow it to drip dry to the extent that it can be carried without dripping water.

IMPORTANT: Your filter should be cleaned regularly to maintain maximum air flow in the system.
