@crispius If you have pets or live in a dust prone area you may need to change filters more often. I made an outer covering for my sister’s #CorsiBox made of washable activate charcoal fiber. It catches the large dust, hair etc and lets the Mervs trap the #Covid and can periodically be removed and cleaned. It extends the life of the Mervs as well as trapping chemicals the Mervs don’t.
