Product Description

Charcoal based Honeycomb Activated carbon filters are utilized in BioGS Air Purifiers to capture airborne gases, VOC's (volatile organic compounds) and odors. VOC's are often generated by off-gassing from carpets, composite wood furniture and other materials in the home. The effectiveness and the life of the carbon filters are determined by the concentration and density of activated carbon in the deodorization filter. Since the BioGS Honeycomb Activated carbon filters have a much higher activated carbon concentration and density than ordinary activated carbon filters in the market, they can more effectively remove odors from cooking, pets, smokers, microbial VOC's or other sources.

Customer Reviews

Shipped fine. Works great.
This item was a direct OEM replacement to the filter that came with my unit. My original had a plastic frame while this one has an aluminum one. They also do not have the honeycomb cell shapes (for the charcoal) anymore.

Aside from the obvious shipping materials (which were ample): The packaging for this product is minimal: only a purple bag around it. No pointless extra box or other materials you just end up throwing away. The purple bag is "PE rated for recycling.

My last filter lasted 3 years, which is the same duration they suggested. How I knew it was time to change out the filter was that the unit stopped clearing odors (i.e. cooking, cats) from the room.

I did, however, wash the filter every month or so with Ivory dish soap and warm water.

Not washable
Has this sweet almost acrid odor after washing. I rinsed mine in plain water but I couldn't seem to get rid of the smell. My 2 star rating is in reference to the life of the filter and the fact that I don't believe this product performs well after washing. The filter before washing functions fine. I love my Rabbit Air purifier (its greatly reduced my multiple cat allergies), not a fan of the Charcoal filter.

Love the Rabbit, HATE this filter!
This filter is the one bad part of the system. I have not really noticed the bad smell, but the plastic piece came loose and much of the charcoal escaped. A poor construction on a otherwise good system.
