F.A.Q.’s
How do I install a fl ange?
Take the fl ange and gasket tape with screws
included out of the package, fasten the foam
gasket to the underside of the fl ange by ex-
posing the sticky side of the foam tape and
attaching it around the circumference of the
bottom of the fl ange.
Once the gasket tape is installed, center
the fl ange on the top of the fi lter and use
the 6 tek screws to fasten the fl ange to
top of the fi lter. Be sure not to torque the
screws too much as you could strip the steel
or warp the fl ange and create air gaps. You
can purchase a fl ange separate from your
fi lter and fan or have it come with every-
thing in a Box Combo.
How long does the fi lter last?
The life of a fi lter is determined by the
concentration of the contaminant, the
relative humidity and the volume of air being
cleaned. Unfortunately, there is no indicator
light on the fi lter that tells you when it is ready
to be replaced. Typically 12–18 months is
expected of the Original Can-Filter, Although
many of them have lasted much longer.
Do I need to replace the pre-fi lter?
It is a good idea to replace the pre-fi lter when
they become dirty. A dirty pre-fi lter increases
the pressure drop, which will decrease the air
fl ow through the fi lter. A clean pre-fi lter will
also extend the life of your fi lter and cause it
to be more effective.
Can my fi lter be refi lled?
Technically the fi lter can be re-fi lled, but it
is not a good idea to self-fi ll the fi lters. The
reason for this, is that, Can-Filters
®
has the
equipment and facilities to provide a true
packed bed fi lter. This is not possible at
home. The packed bed eliminates the
possibility of preferred air channels through
the fi lter, because as we all know, air does
not wait in line to go through a fi lter, it
fi nds the path of least resistance.
What is the warranty on the fi lters and fans?
Can-Fans
®
and Max-Fans™ are warranted
against defects in material and workmanship
for a period of 5 years from the date
of purchase.
Is my fan Speed Controllable?
Yes all of our fans are speed controllable.
Note: Fans running too slowly may
overheat, causing the fan to turn off.
The 12" Max-Fan™ requires the use of
our variable transformer control.
Only use a speed or motor control of the
proper amperage to adjust the speed of
the fans. Never use a light dimmer.
What is the Maximum Temperature /
Humidity I can run my fi lter at?
Your Can-Filter
®
can run at very high
temperatures but it is not recommended
due to potential overheating to any fans
connected to the filter.
Can-Filters™ Packed Bed Design assures long life,
no maintenance, and consistent performance.
