Final stage HEPA filter for HEPA-AIRE (SAH5) portable air scrubber. 18" X 24" X 12" filter for particles down to 0.3 micron

High-performance HEPA filter for impeccable air quality

HEPA filter for HEPA-AIRE air purifiers (SAH5) and any other model requiring HEPA filters of 18 in. X 24 in. X 12 in. Sold individually.

This HEPA filter is designed to be the final barrier in the filtration system of HEPA-AIRE air purifiers. It removes the finest particles such as bacteria, spores, soot, pollen, pet hair and dander, dust mites, smoke, and airborne allergens. Thanks to its fiberglass structure and plastic frame, it provides ultra-efficient mechanical filtration while complying with UL900 class 2 fire safety standards.

Maximum efficiency against fine particles.

Technical specifications of the HEPA SAH5 filter:

The HEPA SAH5 filter stands out for its ability to capture 0.3 micron particles with 99.97% efficiency. It is UL900 certified for low smoke emission and flame resistance. This disposable filter is sold individually and is available by special order. It is suitable for HEPA-AIRE air purifiers and any device compatible with 18 X 24 X 12 dimensions.

Easy installation of the HEPA filter for air purifier SAH5F:

Installing the HEPA SAH5 filter is simple and quick. Just remove the used filter from the HEPA-AIRE air purifier, insert the new filter into the designated compartment, and close the housing. Make sure the filter is properly positioned to ensure perfect sealing and optimal filtration.

HEPA filter maintenance for long-lasting performance SAH5F:

To maintain consistent air quality, it is recommended to replace the HEPA SAH5 filter every 9000 hours of use or after 18 months, depending on the concentration of contaminants. Some HEPA-AIRE air purifiers are equipped with a replacement signal that indicates the ideal time to change the filter. Do not attempt to clean or reuse this disposable filter.

Usage tips to optimize HEPA filtration SAH5F:

Use the HEPA SAH5 filter in environments where air quality is critical, such as decontamination sites, laboratories, or residential spaces sensitive to allergens. Ensure the air purifier operates in a closed room to maximize the filter’s efficiency. Avoid exposing the filter to moisture or extreme temperatures.

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.
