PRODUCT DATA

FEATURES Available in five sizes to fit most ducts; adapts to airflow from either side. Has one or two cells, depending on cabinet size. Capacity varies from 1000 cfm (1700 m3/hr) to 2000 cfm (3400 m3/hr), depending on size. Solid state power supply is self-regulating and maintains peak efficiency during a wide range of cell dirt loading conditions. Pressure drop is approximately equal to that of a regular fiberglass filter. Optional W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor indicates air cleaner performance, reminds homeowner when a cell and prefilter wash is due, and when to check the system. Electronic cell(s) can be washed in most home dishwashers. Galvanized cabinet protects against rust. Neon light next to on-off switch tells if air cleaner is powered and if high voltage is present.
