White Filter - Which Way?

Post by Grouch » Sat Feb 11, 2012 4:44 pm

I have a PR1 APAP machine with both gray foam and white ultrafine filters.

I've lost my mind and am hoping ya'll can help me retrieve a portion of it. Ready for a stupid question?

Which way does the white non tabbed filter face? Soft side or plastic side toward the machine? I took it out to replace it and now can't remember which way it's supposed to go.

Slick plastic side inside...soft fuzzy side facing outwards so that it gathers the particles.
