What's the consequence of not letting the filter dry out before reinstalling them? The system allows for water drainage so I never have let them dry out...
I wonder this too. Shouldn't the moving air help dry it out faster? Hmm... Maybe water droplets will collect more dust and make it a bit harder to clean in the future? I'm guessing not a big deal either way.
any chance you have a video how to clean the smaller unit? i am on strata for a small TH complex and we have lifebreath wanted to share a video with all owners how to maintan the unit thanks!!
Why? Step 1 should be take the big thing in the middle out. Then you can take off the green things and clean around the box without it in the way. Seriously
This video is well done and correct for many systems. Mine is a Lennox and the maintenance instructions are printed on the core. Wash with warm soapy water filters and core. Replace either wet or dry. I've had my system 16 years now and have no problems with it with only regular home maintenance. Always follow your models maintenence instructions. Google your brand and model 🙂
The core says right on its stickers to never use water on the core. Vacuum ONLY. The dry filter is literally made of paper. You will damage your filter following this person's video. Be sure to read your instructions. You can find them online.

Death by wet filter... it's not worth it man.

Excellent demonstration. Safe, thorough, practical and simply explained. Thank you.
Where can you get the foam filters?

Extremely helpful, thanks a bunch!
You don't have to pull out side rails, just make sure all 4 sides go in
Where can I get replacement foam filters?
Excellent video. Very informative
Once a month? Holy
1:20 doesn't it straight up say in the instructions not to wring out the filters?
I have the exact same unit in the video and it doesn't say anything about not wringing out the filters in the instructions. Not sure why it would.
@@MrJohnthefarmer mine must be slightly different, because mine says not to
Thanks for this video - saved me a call out fee :-)
helpful - thank you

Lol she zooms in on the sticker and it literally says " Clean the HRV Core in warm soapy water". lol clown.
yah read your instructions buddy, they are different in every unit. I dont know why yours is made of paper??? smaller version probably…
The HRV unit you can use water/ soap. The ERV says vacuum only.
