First stage filter for the PREDATOR 750 air scrubber, 16 X 16 X 1 in

A quality filter for professional air purification

Primary filter for the PREDATOR® 750 air purifier (SAH1) and any other model requiring filters of 16 in X 16 in X 1 in dimensions.

Sold in packs of 12 or 50 units. Select the desired size from the drop-down menu above.

This primary filter for the Predator 750 air purifier is made of electrostatically charged fiberglass, allowing it to effectively capture large particles while letting finer ones pass through to the next filters. It is compatible with the SAH1 model of the Predator 750 as well as other air purifiers from Abatement Technologies, such as the CAP600, CAP1200 and their UV variants. With its MERV 4 rating, it offers 75% efficiency in capturing particles of 10 microns or more, according to ASHRAE standards.

The SAH1FP primary filter for the Predator 750 air purifier effectively captures particles of 10 microns and above, such as pollen, aerosol paint dust, textile fibers or carpet fibers. Positioned as the first stage of the filtration system, it protects the integrity of the secondary and HEPA filters by retaining larger impurities while allowing finer particles to pass through.

This filter is made of electrostatically charged fiberglass and has a MERV 4 rating, according to the efficiency scale established by ASHRAE. This corresponds to a 75% capture rate for particles of 10 µm or more. It is disposable, which simplifies maintenance, and should be replaced every 8 to 72 hours depending on the concentration of contaminants or alerts from the air purifier.

The SAH1FP is compatible with other models from Abatement Technologies such as the CAP600, CAP600-UV, CAP600-UVP, CAP1200 and CAP1200-UVP air purifiers, or any other device requiring filters of the same dimensions. Thanks to this versatility, it integrates easily into a variety of professional decontamination systems.

Please note that returns are not accepted if the product packaging has been opened.

Technical specifications of the primary filter for Predator 750:

The SAH1FP primary filter measures 16 X 16 X 1 inches and is sold in packs of 12 or 50 units. It is disposable and must be replaced regularly to ensure optimal performance of the filtration system. This filter is non-returnable once used, in accordance with sanitary safety policies. It is designed to extend the life of the secondary and HEPA filters while maintaining consistent air quality on decontamination sites.

Installing the primary filter on the Predator 750 air purifier:

In operating installations, the machine is left running during the replacement of the primary and secondary filters. Installing the primary filter on the Predator 750 air purifier is simple. Just open the side panel of the purifier, remove the used filter and insert the new one into the designated slot. This filter is installed in the first position in the filtration system, before the secondary and HEPA filters.

Maintaining the primary filter for prolonged efficiency:

As this filter is disposable, it does not require cleaning. It should be replaced every 8 to 72 hours, depending on the concentration of contaminants in the air or the replacement signal issued by the Predator 750 purifier. Regular replacement helps preserve the efficiency of the filtration system and prevents saturation of the subsequent filters.

Optimal use of the primary filter for decontamination:

The primary filter is particularly useful in environments with high particle concentrations, such as asbestos removal sites, mold remediation or lead decontamination. It is recommended to monitor filter saturation and replace it as needed to maintain effective negative pressure and air purification that complies with standards.

Sylprotec reminder on filter management during asbestos removal work:

HEPA filter management:

• The HEPA filter is a critical component of the filtration system.
• It is recommended to install a new HEPA filter before starting the project in order to perform a dop test (dispersed oil particulate) and validate its efficiency.
• If the primary and secondary filters are properly maintained, the HEPA filter can be used for a longer period, but this depends on the saturation level.

Machines indicate the need for replacement:

• By an audible signal
• Or via a differential pressure gauge, whose needle indicates a loss of pressure each time the HEPA filter is replaced, a new dop test is mandatory to ensure the filter is functioning properly and that the suction remains compliant with standards.

When replacing a HEPA filter, it is imperative to turn off the machine.

This filter plays an essential role in maintaining negative pressure, which prevents the spread of contaminants into the environment. In an active workspace, such as a construction site or clean room, it is crucial not to interrupt this pressure. The machine must, therefore, be temporarily removed and replaced by another one already equipped with an operational filter to ensure continuity of containment.

Primary and secondary filter management:

• The primary filter must be changed twice a day during demolition periods, as it quickly becomes clogged.
• The secondary filter is replaced once a day during demolition periods.
• Machines remain in operation during filter changes to avoid any interruption of negative pressure in the confined area.
