Airsense 11 - Air Filters?

Post by chaznsc » Sat Jul 15, 2023 11:46 am

I bought a new Airsense 11. In looking at the filter, it’s pretty questionable. Are the aftermarket upgrade filters safe for the machines operation?

IMO, the OEM hypoallergenic filters are the best,
but my DME is getting a generic that is pretty close.
Regular filters can be completely unpredictable.
I have gotten some nasty ones.
Insist on hypoallergenic filters.

The filters are filtering your room air...the same air you and your family are breathing every day. Depends on how dirty the air in your area is.

I use the hypo filter, AND and anti-bacterial filter, because it cuts down even more on allergens, so I breathe better at night :D
