CF15
- Activated Carbon Filters are used to remove contaminants and impurities through the
process of chemical absorption. The CF15 captures a wide variety of volatile organic compounds
that includes smoke, food odors, fumes from paint and paint thinners, sewer odors and more. Carbon
Filters can be reused if the adsorbed substances are removed. This process is known as 'regeneration'.
Simply heating the spent carbon at a given temperature for an adequate length of time can regenerate
activated carbon to the point where it can be reused. The CF15 fits the X-2580 model; it is placed
inside the housing in front of the HEPA filter. Always make sure that the Air Scrubber is turned off when
removing the carbon filter. Never use water to clean the CF15 filters. Use vacuum or clean cloth and
lay it flat on a clean and dry surface. For best results, put the CF15 under the sun and leave it there
for a couple of hours. The capacity of the carbon filter will vary widely depending on conditions, but it
should be replaced when a decline of effectiveness is noted.
