Expert Review
If you're noticing a lingering smell from your UVC steriliser or feel it's not quite as effective as it used to be, this lower carbon filter is almost always the cause. It's a crucial part for odour control and air purity. Thankfully, it's a doddle to replace – no tools needed, just pop the old one out and slide the new one in.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect power before changing the filter.
- Check and replace filter every 3-6 months.
- Ensure the filter is installed in the correct orientation.
- Keep the filter housing free from dust and debris.
Frequently Asked Questions
-

A: For typical commercial use, we recommend checking monthly and replacing every 3-6 months, or sooner if odours become noticeable.

Did You Know?
- A blocked carbon filter can reduce airflow, making the UVC lamp less effective at sterilising equipment.
- Regularly replacing filters is a key part of your kitchen's HACCP plan for maintaining hygiene.
- Carbon filters work by adsorption, where pollutants chemically bond to the surface of the carbon.
