Answer: The HEPA media is put under the DOP test and the efficiency is 99.97% down
to .3 micron.
Question: How big is a micron (1.0 µm)?
Answer: A micron, short for micrometer, is a unit of measurement equal to one millionth
of a meter. A micron is actually 0.000039 of an inch.

microns long.
Question: What is the purpose of the Enviroflex 107.1016 or 107.1016A filter?
Answer: The 107.1016 or 107.1016A acts as a Prefilter. It filters out the larger particles
so that the HEPA filter does not plug up rapidly. It extends the life of the HEPA filter.
Question: What is the difference between the 107.1016 and the 107.1016A filters?
107.1016-This is a throwaway prefilter
107.1016A-This is a washable prefilter that you utilize with precoat.
Question: How often do you have to replace the 107.1015 HEPA filter?
Answer: Normally for every 3 or 4 Prefilters you either replace or clean.

welding smoke?
