A MVHR filter is a filter used in an MVHR unit (heat recovery system). The function of an MVHR filter is to purify the incoming and outgoing air of harmful substances, transforming the air into clean and purified air. The filter contributes significantly to improving the air quality in the home. To maintain this improved air quality, it is important to replace MVHR filters on time.
Which MVHR filter should I choose?
Choosing the right filter for an MVHR unit is a simple task. Make sure you choose a filter that is compatible with the specific type of your MVHR unit. After selecting the suitable filter for your MVHR unit, you can choose from different filter classes. Each filter class represents a specific degree of protection against certain (fine) substances. Moreover, you have the option to choose between a house brand Tops filter or an original filter.
What is the importance of an MVHR filter?
A MVHR filter is essential for a MVHR unit. MVHR filters play a crucial role in effectively improving air quality by filtering pollutants from the ventilation system. These filters provide protection against accumulating dust, thus extending the life of the MVHR system. In addition, MVHR filters contribute to optimised airflow, allowing the ventilation system to operate in the most efficient manner. This results in direct savings on unnecessarily high energy costs.
What is the difference between a house brand and an original filter?
By using high-quality materials and filters that comply with the ISO 16890 standard, formerly known as the EN779 standard, the house brand of Tops filters delivers the same high quality as the original filters. Despite this high quality, it is combined with an affordable and economical price. So you buy extra high-quality MVHR filters at a low price from Tops filters.
What is a pollen filter for?
A pollen filter or F7 filter, named after the F7 filter class, is designed to effectively filter pollen (pollen) from the supplied air, preventing these allergens from entering the home. This is especially beneficial for people with allergies, as it reduces the likelihood of allergic reactions such as sneezing, itchy eyes and breathing problems. Moreover, it offers a high level of protection against other particles, such as dust, mould spores and bacteria, keeping the indoor air quality in the home extra healthy.
Where do I fit a pollen filter?
If you have only one pollen filter, the pollen filter is placed on the supply air side of the MVHR unit. This side can be recognised by the outside symbol (cloud, tree or sky) present on the unit. The reason for placement on this side is that this is where the supply air, including any pollen, enters the house. However, if you have 2 or more pollen filters, they can be placed on both the supply and exhaust side.
