2 STAGE FILTRATION
Carbon filtration captures odors and prolongs HEPA filter life. HEPA
filtration captures 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or larger, to effectively
clean large volumes of air.
Maintain the high efficiency of your Sharper Image Air Purifier by regularly
replacing used filters with fresh new ones. Your Sharper Image Air Purifier
will indicate with an illuminated filter replacement light when it is time to
change the filters. To purchase replacement filters, please email help
@sihomecomfort.com or call
1-833-800-8669.
FILTER REPLACEMENT
GENUINE SHARPER IMAGE FILTERS ARE RECOMMENDED
Peak performance is only realized when genuine Sharper Image Carbon and HEPA
filters are used. Others may claim to be compatible with Sharper Image units,
but the Sharper Image Air Purifier is calibrated to achieve a 99.97% capture
rate of particles 0.3 microns or larger, only when used with Sharper Image
Filters.
