Description
The xTool F1 pre-filter is a primary layer of the xTool Desktop Smoke Purifier that captures large particles like dust, hair, and debris to protect the main filter and extend its lifespan. It is essential for maintaining air quality during laser engraving, especially with materials that produce a lot of particulate matter, such as wood or slate. The pre-filter helps the more sensitive main and HEPA filters work more efficiently by reducing their workload.
Key features & Purpose:
- Initial filtration: Acts as the first line of defense by trapping larger particles before they reach the HEPA and activated carbon filters.
- Protects main filter: By catching large debris, it prevents the main filter from clogging too quickly, which significantly extends the life of the entire filter cartridge and saves on replacement costs.
- Improves air quality: Helps the main purifier to focus on capturing finer particles, smoke, and odors, resulting in cleaner air in your workspace.
-
Recommended usage: It's recommended to replace the pre-filter when it is heavily covered with dust (e.g., over 70% covered), which can be after about 7–15 days of use depending on the intensity of your work.
