Winix ZERO N Filter Set
Complete Filter Set for the Winix ZERO N Air Purifier
- 4 medium-carbon filters that remove odors—such as essential oils, smoke, and pet odors—also act as a filter to trap larger dust particles, thereby extending the life of the HEPA filter. It is recommended to replace the filter every three months, which is why the set includes 4 filters.
- 1 HEPA filter that removes at least 99.97% of particles measuring 0.3 micrometers. This particle size is known as the most penetrating particle size (MPPS) or the most difficult particle size to filter; Larger and more visible dust particles are easier to filter than ultrafine solid particles. For this reason, it makes sense to use a HEPA filter indoors.
The filters measure 333 x 278 mm; the HEPA filter is 25 mm thick, and the activated carbon filter is about 10 mm thick.
It is necessary to replace the filters at least once a year to ensure that the device operates properly.
Why do you need to replace the filters?
Given the density of the HEPA filter’s fibers, the accumulation of contaminants over time significantly reduces the filter’s airflow capacity. Viruses and bacteria also accumulate there, although the HEPA filters in Coway, Winix, and Airbi air purifiers eliminate most of them. At the same time, an air purifier is designed for a room of a certain size. If the airflow rate is lower, the room will naturally be purified more slowly and less effectively than it would be with filters replaced on time.
The same applies to charcoal filters, whose surface absorbs chemicals (odor particles, volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, etc.). After a certain amount of time, the filter no longer has any free reactive surface area, and its effectiveness is virtually zero.
Therefore, it is important to always make sure that the filters are replaced on time, and of course, it makes sense to use original filters to ensure that the device continues to function properly.
It’s important to choose the right device—that is, don’t just settle for the cheapest option, but ask the supplier for advice, providing the parameters of your space and describing the conditions there. This way, you can find the optimal solution that actually works and ensures your satisfaction and the device’s efficiency. When it comes to health, it’s not worth skimping—instead, approach the matter sensibly and listen to the advice of an expert or specialist.
