Abestorm Filteair HEPA S2 (Charcoal, 550 CFM)

What size room can this air scrubber handle effectively?

The unit covers up to 1100 square feet with its 550 CFM airflow capacity. For optimal results in construction or remediation work, position the unit centrally in the space. In larger areas, you can daisy chain up to 3 units together using one power outlet to increase coverage. The variable speed control allows you to adjust performance based on room size and contamination levels.

How often do the filters need replacing and what do they cost?

Filter replacement frequency depends on usage conditions and contamination levels. The filter change indicator light alerts you when replacement is needed. Heavy construction use may require monthly changes, whilst lighter residential use could extend to 3-6 months. Replacement filter sets include MERV-10 pre-filters, HEPA filters and activated carbon filters. The hour meter helps track usage for maintenance scheduling.

Can this unit remove paint fumes and chemical odours?

Yes, the combination of activated carbon filters and UV-C light technology specifically targets chemical odours and paint fumes. The activated carbon absorbs volatile organic compounds whilst the UV-C light breaks down odour molecules at a molecular level. This dual approach makes it highly effective for painting projects, renovation work and chemical remediation tasks.

How loud is this air scrubber during operation?

The unit operates at 65 decibels, which is comparable to normal conversation levels. Variable speed control allows you to reduce noise by lowering the fan speed when maximum airflow isn't required. For noise-sensitive environments, run the unit at lower speeds during occupied hours and increase speed when the area is unoccupied.

Is this suitable for water damage restoration work?

Absolutely. The unit is specifically designed for water and fire damage restoration projects. The HEPA filtration removes mould spores and debris whilst the UV-C light helps eliminate bacteria and odours associated with water damage. The stackable design and ergonomic handles make it easy to transport between job sites and position in tight spaces.

What electrical requirements does this unit have?

The unit requires AC 120V, 60Hz power supply and draws 60 watts during operation. It includes a built-in GFCI duplex outlet for daisy chaining multiple units. The circuit breaker switch provides overload protection. You can connect up to 3 units on a standard 15-amp household circuit without overloading.

Does the UV-C light require maintenance or replacement?

The UV-C light system is designed for long-term operation with minimal maintenance. The lights are built into the unit and operate continuously during use. Unlike the filters, the UV-C system doesn't require regular replacement. The 10-year warranty covers the UV-C components along with the motor and housing.

Can I use this for pet odour elimination in my home?

Yes, the unit effectively removes pet odours through its dual-action system. The activated carbon filter absorbs pet-related volatile compounds whilst the UV-C light breaks down odour molecules. The 4-stage filtration also captures pet dander and hair. For home use, the variable speed control allows quiet operation during the day and increased power when needed.
