MAINTENANCE
The Aprilaire
®
Air Cleaner requires no electrical component
service, generates no ozone, and is not affected by
relative humidity or temperature. The only maintenance
required is the periodic replacement of the disposable
Aprilaire
®
Media which the homeowner can do in a few min-
utes. The frequency of replacement will vary with operation
time, the amount of pollution generated in the home and is
affected by: number of people and their activities, the
amount of carpeting, pets, size of home, number of smokers,
the pollution level of the area. We recommend replacing the
media each year. However, if you do not run your blower con-
tinuously (24 hours per day, 365 days per year) the media
may last up to two years. Air conditioning systems larger than
3.5 tons, or heating systems larger than 130,000 BTU’s per
hour (1400 cfm), will require more frequent attention if oper-
ated continuously.
Always remember that your Aprilaire
®
Air Cleaner Media is
at its lowest efficiency point when it is new. Efficiency
increases with usage. There is no efficiency or performance
benefit from replacing your media too often.
