Filter lights on your Air Purifier http://www.fastbrowser.net/netpicker/Filter-lights-on-your-Airifie.htm One of the best things about your IQAir Air Purifier is that it has warning lights to tell you when to change the prefilter, gas or hepa filters. Of course how long they last depends on your pattern of usage. For the initial 80% of the filter life the control panel will display a green light next to the corresponding filter on the outline of the unit. When the orange light goes on it does not mean that the filter needs to be replaced immediately but that there is 20% of useful life left. IQAir gives you plenty of time and the machine will tell you how many hours you have left. Once the number of hours gets to within a few hours remaining the orange light will then change to red. It is at this time you should change the filter. If you forget to change it and there are no hours left the hours will go into the negative displaying how many hours you have gone over and the red light will change to a flashing red light.

Just in case you have lost the manual like one of our customers, this is how you reset the filter lights:
1. Press the menu button ( 7 times) until you get to where the display says new filter.
2. Press the enter button and hold it down for 3 seconds and a number 1 will be flashing after the words new filter on the display. This flashing number is so you can enter which filter you have changed. Filter number 1 is the pre-filter, filter number 2 is the V-5 gas filter, and filter number 3 is the Hepa filter.
3. You change the number for the filter by pressing the up arrow button.
4. Once you reach the correct filter number you press the enter button and the control panel will display a question mark after the words new filter on the display. Below this it will say, E = Yes M = Cancel. If you wish to cancel the entry so it does not reset a new filter life, simply press the Menu button.
5. If you want it to reset the filter life for the changed filter, simply press the Enter button. Once this is done, the filter light will change back to the green light, which will show the filter has been changed. If you go to the remaining filter life on the control panel for the filter number you just changed, you will now see the remaining life of the filter in hours has been reset.

    Hi Marge,

    have you replaced the carbon pre-filter? It is supposed to be replaced every 6 months.

    Here is a link to the manual. See page 16 for troubleshooting.

    Hope this helps at least some...

    Hunter hepatech 40882 uvc air purifier won't turn after cleaned filters

    Hello, this is Ava with Think Crucial.

    Filter life counters should be reset each time the filter has change. If your air purifier has a reset button, press and hold the reset button until the lights go out. You may also unplug your unit from the power for 30 seconds before plugging it back on if your unit doesn't have a reset button.

    Hunter air filter when you turn it on it keeps cycling- on/off,on/off and wont stay on. also hepa filter button not working any more, does not light up blue when pressed. TY for any help : )

    Hello, this is Ava with Think Crucial.

    If your unit has a reset button, try resetting your unit. Also, replacing the filters and resetting it after putting on the replacement filters usually works. If this fix doesn't work, I suggest you contact Hunter support for assistance and their number is 888-830-1326.

    I want to change filters. please help

    Hi and welcome to DixYa, I am Kelly

    The only two parts requiring any service are the activated carbon pre-filter and the HEPA filter. No tools are needed. To change either filter, disassemble the unit as shown.
    1. Loosen the carrying handle by turning it counterclockwise and lift filter cage cover from unit.
    2. Lift HEPA filter and activated carbon pre-filter from the base.
    3. Remove the fasteners from the activated carbon pre-filter and remove it from the HEPA filter cartridge.
    4. Replace filter(s) as needed, and discard used filters.
    5. Wrap the activated carbon pre-filter around the HEPA filter cartridge and secure it with the fasteners provided

    The Intelli-Check™ Filter Monitors will indicate replacement of the pre-filter and the

    HEPA filter. Depending upon your individual usage (environment and hours used),

    you may need to check and replace the filters more or less frequently.

    To check Expected Filter Life Usage

    When the unit is turned on, quickly press the appropriate filter monitor button. The

    pre-filter light will flash up to 3 times and the HEPA filter light will flash up to 4 times,

    depending upon how much expected filter life has been used.

    PREFILTER:

    1 flash = from new, up to 1/3 expected life used up

    2 flashes = between 1/3 and 2/3 expected life used up

    3 flashes = between 2/3 and all of expected life used up

    Remains on = time to check/replace pre-filter

    HEPA FILTER:

    1 flash = from new, up to 1/4 expected life used up

    2 flashes = between 1/4 and 1/2 expected life used up

    3 flashes = between 1/2 and 3/4 expected life used up

    4 flashes = between 3/4 and all of expected life used up

    Remains on = time to check/replace HEPA filter

    To RESET Filter Monitor

    When the filter monitor light remains on, it is time to check/replace the filter and reset

    the filter monitor, if needed. With the unit powered on, press and hold the appropriate

    filter monitor button down for approximately 5 seconds until the light turns off.

    Where and how can I order new filters.

    You never need to ORDER new filters for your SUN AIRE purifier unit. Our pre-filter is LIFETIME/WASHABLE 0.5 micron 2-stage electro-static and NEVER needs replacement. Our pre-filter saves you about $100-200 per year in expensive replacement HEPA/charcoal/carbon filters on other units.

    You have to press the reset button on some models. The unit does not have any way of knowing you reset the filter -- you have to tell it.
