3. Installation und Einrichtung

3.1. Determine Your Register Size

Before cutting the filter media, accurately measure the inside dimensions of your damper box. The filter media should fit snugly within this area. For example, a 4"x10" damper box typically has an inside measurement of 3.5"x9.5".

3.2. Prepare the Filter Media

Using the measurements obtained from your damper box, carefully cut the Pristene Filter Media to the appropriate size. This ensures a proper fit and maximum filtration efficiency.

3.3. Install the Filter Media

1. Remove your Decor Grates register from the floor or wall opening.
2. Place the cut filter media into the rustproof damper box of your Decor Grates register.
3. Snap the retaining grid into place over the filter media, ensuring it is securely fitted. This prevents the retainer from separating and holds the filter in position.
4. Return the assembled register with the filter media to its original position in the floor or wall opening.

4. Bedienung

Once installed, the Pristene Filter Media works by allowing air to pass through its High Loft material while capturing airborne particles such as dust, pollen, and pet dander. This process helps to reduce the amount of contaminants circulating in your home's air, contributing to a cleaner and more comfortable living environment. The design ensures that air flow is not significantly restricted, maintaining the efficiency of your heating and cooling system.

5. Wartung

To maintain optimal air quality and system performance, the filter media should be checked monthly. The frequency of replacement depends on your specific home environment and heating/cooling system usage. A general guideline is to replace the filter seasonally or every four months for best results. A clogged filter will reduce airflow and diminish its effectiveness.

6. Fehlerbehebung

If you notice a decrease in airflow from your registers after installing the filter media, it is likely that the filter is clogged with accumulated dust and debris. In such cases, inspect the filter and replace it if it appears dirty or heavily loaded with particles. Regular checking and timely replacement are crucial to prevent airflow restriction.
