What will the filters actually cost you over five years?

The sticker price isn't the running cost. Enter your model, fleet size and daily hours — we forecast every HEPA, pre-filter, carbon and UV-C lamp change across five years so you can budget the true cost of ownership, not just the purchase.

Your fleet

Consumable lives are rated in operating hours, so running them harder shortens the interval — the planner accounts for that.

How the forecast is built

Rated hours ÷ how hard you run it = the real replacement interval.

The method

Interval (months) =
  Rated hours ÷ (hours/day × 30.4)

Changes in 5 yrs (per item) =
  FLOOR(60 ÷ interval)

Year cost =
  Σ changes that fall in the year
  × item price × unit count

Why pre-filters matter

A cheap pre-filter changed on time protects the expensive HEPA behind it. Skip pre-filter changes and the HEPA clogs early — pushing its cost forward and spiking the motor's energy draw. The forecast assumes you change pre-filters on schedule, which is how you hit the HEPA's rated life.

Filter part prices are indicative estimates — ask us for a firm consumables quote for your model. Rated lives are typical and vary with dust load, humidity and air quality; a dusty food or construction environment loads pre-filters faster. We'll tailor the schedule to your site.

Budget the running cost, not just the sticker price.

We offer fixed consumables contracts — filters delivered on schedule, billed in your currency, so the running cost is predictable for the life of the fleet.
