Prefilters for Austin Air HEPA Air Purifiers—What Are They, When and How to Change Them

The Austin Air HEPA prefilter is located inside the purifier between the HEPA filter and the outside of the purifier. It is designed to trap big particles such as hair, dust, and lint. Austin Air recommends keeping the prefilter clean by vacuuming the outside of your purifier several times a month. This facilitates better air flow into the purifier which means your purifier will operate more efficiently.

One of the ways to prolong the life of the Austin HEPA filter is by keeping the prefilter clean, and when the prefilter becomes clogged beyond cleaning, order a new prefilter for your purifier.

The prefilter comes in both a standard and junior size, and in a light or dark color. If you own a black purifier, order the dark-colored prefilter. If you own a sandstone, white, or silver purifier order the light-colored prefilter.

Changing the prefilter means removing the filter from the purifier by unscrewing the bottom plate, unwrapping the old prefilter from around the HEPA filter, and replacing it with the new prefilter, and sliding both back into the purifier, and reattaching the bottom plate of the purifier. The entire process should take about 10 minutes.

Austin Air Hepa Air Filter Replacement--Choosing A Color!

When you're ready to order your Austin Air replacement filter from PurerAir.com, you'll notice a drop-down menu that gives a choice of colors for the filter--light-colored, and dark-colored. If you're like me you'll think, "Why do they offer a choice of color for something that won't show, and why should I care?"

Well, the truth of the matter is that the color choice is for the prefilter which is the soft material inside the purifier that is between the outer wall of the purifier and the actual filter. Because your Austin Air purifier has small holes on all 4 sides under the control panel, you will, in fact, be able to see the color of the prefilter.

So if you have a sandstone, white, or silver purifier, be sure to order the light-colored prefilter. If you have a black purifier, be sure to order the dark-colored prefilter. The Baby's Breath purifier comes in pink and blue, but the prefilter only comes in white.

So when we suggest that you vacuum the outside of the purifier to remove the large particles such as dust, dog hair, etc., you will be using your vacuum to pull these particles through the small holes of your purifier and away from the prefilter--a prefilter that will blend very nicely when you choose the correct color. Hope this sheds some light on the situation!
