Leave Running? I had an air filter that was best left on all the time. Do you do the same with this one or not? I'm guessing NOT.

Non-stop and as needed are opposites. I had a filter that was meant to run 24 hrs. without stopping. So I wonder if it matters if this filter runs 24 hours a day or intermittently for optimal performance. Could you answer again, please? And thx.

The Austin Air FAQ states: "Yes, Austin Air cleaners were designed and built for continuous use. In fact, Austin Air encourages customers to leave their air cleaner on at all times to achieve the healthiest living environment possible." I keep mine running 24/7.

Did you run it for a few quarts to clean out the filters?if not, You probably have it installed incorrectly

I bought replacements w the vacuum but I haven't had to use them yet. Instead when I go to empty the vacuum, I also clean out the filter (I use gloves and a face mask, I def wouldn't do it without those things).Otherwise, I'd probably switch it out every month or so (I use it to vacuum my studio).

Hold the 'filter reset' button (the small button with the looping arrow) down for like 15 or 30 seconds. If it still doesn't reset - sometimes I think the filter really is clever or insane and you might want to double-check that everything is making contact and there's no soot shorting anything out, but I think I only ever had one be 'stubborn' once.

Open the front of the a/c unit on the side facing the room and remove the filter by hand and clean it well with a dry paint brush to remove any pollen/lent etc., I take it outside to do this...or you can wash it under running cold water if it really needs that much cleaning, but blow it dry with a hair dryer or similar before replacing it. Then if the light is still on afterward, press the filter button and it goes off. This light comes on after the air conditioner has operated, I believe the directions said around 1000 hrs., so it's automatic, even if you have already cleaned it prior. Hope this helps you.

The air filter is on the top. If you are getting a clean the filter error code and the filter looks clean then yo might have the same problem I and many other owners of this product have had.

Yes, but mine has run all winter, usually 6 - 8 hours a day, and the check filter light hasn't come on. The filter looks a little dirty, but nothing major.

My first filter made the air smell fantastically fresh and clean. It wore out before the warranty and the new filter made the air smell ... odd ... kind of dirty, right from the beginning. I read somewhere that this might be a result of them being stored somewhere where they pick up odors. That could be the problem for you. If it has been fine for a long time and had just recently started smelling bad, it is likely that your filter just needs to be replaced (a bad smell is a sign that the filter has just had it and you need a new one).

You can try cleaning the filter in the back. It's supposed to be cleaned regularly, and mine has blown cold air when the filter needed cleaning. Also, if you do not let it go through it's cool down process when you turn the heater off, it will not heat up properly when you turn it back on. Or at least that is a problem I have had with mine. I have two other infrared heaters--they aren't EdenPure, but they also will cease to work when the filters are dirty. I'm assuming it is a safety function.

Hi Carol, there is an active carbon filter packed in it, active carbon does run out or better yet lose it's efficiency. They are reasonably priced a multi use personal air filter though and they work well.

Take the filter out and run the pump without it. if the pressure seems right it is the filter. I always clean mine as soon as I take them out but they do start to get clogged after a while. Make sure you clean good between the folds in the filter!

Best way to use is have fan sucking air through the filter. Fan should pull air through filter and exhaust "scrubbed" air outside the room/area where filter is located. Keep the length/run of duct as short and straight as possible. Seal all connections between filter, fan and ducting with duct tape to avoid any unfiltered air being exhausted.

I haven't really tried leaving it off for any length of time. Ours is off to be cleaned and the filter to dry well, maybe an hour a time, but in that time I don't notice the air being worse. We did have it off in the bedroom for a day or two and we needed it back on then. Keep in mind, my boyfriend smokes and we have cats and a dog in the house.

You should only use it for the season the unit is not in use. Remove it befor you turn the unit on for the season so you do not restrict air flow.

It seems that if you overfill the fuel tank, the gas makes it's way into the vent and and then drains thru the hose back into the air cleaner assembly. Not the greatest design, but I drained some fuel from the tank and now the problem is solved.. Thanks for you input anyhow.

I seem to recall that the filter might need to be cleaned. I don't handle this, my roommate does, But I do notice it it smells from time to time. Run it for a while and check it later.

I don't leave the house, however, I don't have it on all the time. If you want it on all the time the fan will help. I use the ionizer on high for 15- 30 minutes with a standing oscillating fan in front of it, and that cleans the air really well, especially when expecting company.
