First Stage Fiber-Trapper® Particulate Pre-Filter (Merv 4): F621 (12 per Case) 

Second Stage Particulate Filter (Merv 8): H502 (6 per Case) 

Third Stage Vapor-Lock® High Capacity Activated Carbon Filter (Merv 7): VL1002 (Optional) 

Final Stage 99.97% Hepa Filter @ .3 Microns: H610C-99 

First Stage Fiber-Trapper® Particulate Pre-Filter (MERV 4): F621 (12 per Case) 

Perfect Pre-Filter Solution for Your PRED1200 

The F621 “FiberTrap” filter is the OEM replacement 1st stage 1" throwaway pre-filter for Abatement Technologies, Inc.’s lightweight model PRED1200 portable air scrubber. Weighing just 70 pounds with filters, the PRED1200 produces an eye-popping peak airflow rating of 900 cfm at 3.5 amps or less!   

Designed to Capture the Coarsest Particles 

The FiberTrap pre-filter is designed to capture the coarsest particles circulating through your air duct system—helping to extend the life of the 2nd stage carbon-pleated filter and the HEPA filter and ensuring your PRED1200 is able to deliver outstanding air scrubbing performance while saving you money! 

This filter has MERV 4 rating (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) according to the measuring scale to rate the effectiveness of air filters set by the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Condition). A rate 4 means the effectiveness of this filter turns around the capture of 75% of the particles 10 µm or bigger.  

Easy Replacement for Optimal Performance 

Replacing the F621 pre-filter is simple because the PRED1200 features a unique “no tools needed” cabinet design that provides easy access for fast pre-filter replacement, ensuring longevity of your system and minimizing possible repair or replacement costs. 

The PRED1200 filter change indicator light will turn red to let you know when there is excessive restriction on intake or loading of the filter(s) and that filter change procedures should be followed. 

For instructions on how and when to change your air cleaner filter, please refer to your unit’s Instruction Manual.

For instructions on how and how often to change your air cleaner filter, please refer to your unit’s Instruction Manual. 

Warning: 

  1. The pleated H502 filter is NOT designed for use with UV lamps. Do not use the H502 pleated filter or substitute other non UV resistant filters in units that use a UV lamp because these products may off-gas, produce unpleasant odors, degrade, and in some cases, completely deteriorate. 

  2. If you have a unit that uses a UV lamp like the PRED1200UV you will want to purchase the H502UVR UV-resistant pleated filter.

Third Stage Vapor-Lock® High Capacity Activated Carbon Filter (MERV 7): VL1002 (Optional) 

A Carbon Filter Specially Designed to Remove Odors and Vapors 

The VL1002 is the 3rd stage MERV 7 vapor-lock carbon filter for Abatement Technologies, Inc.'s PRED1200 Air Purification system. Designed to deliver exceptional air scrubbing performance in an ultra-strong, rotational molded polyethylene cabinet, the PRED1200 weights just 70 pounds with filters, and produces a peak airflow rating of 900 cfm at 3.5 amps or less! 

The 2"-deep VL002 air filter has woven activated carbon media for absorption of gases and odors. Because it provides a similar level of particulate filtration efficiency, the VL1002 can be used in place of the 2nd stage H502 pre-filter, to reduce odors, vapors or gases (OVG), including volatile organic compounds by chemically bonding the OVG molecules to the surface area of the carbon granules, via a process known as adsorption.   

How Adsorption Works 

Effective carbon adsorption is dependent upon the amount of carbon and exposed carbon granule surfaces, and the dwell (contact) time the OVG molecules have with the carbon granules. Operating the PRED1200 at lower speed settings to increase dwell time can therefore improve OVG adsorption, though it is highly unlikely that all of the OVG will be removed in one pass of air through the unit. Operating the PRED1200 in the recirculation mode can increase effectiveness, by exposing OVG particles to multiple passes through the Vapor-Lock filter.  

It’s difficult to provide accurate estimates to two commonly asked questions: “how much time will it take to capture all of the OVG?”, and “how do I know when a carbon filter should be replaced?” Unfortunately, unknown factors, such as concentration levels, fresh-air intake volume, temperature, and humidity prevent establishment of any more accurate ‘rule of thumb’ than one’s sense of smell. Since off-gassing of adsorbed OVG can occur when the adsorption capacity of the filter is reached, replace the carbon filter as soon as odor breakthrough is sensed. 

Easy Replacement for Optimal Performance  

The manufacturer recommends you change your PRED1200 VL1002 carbon filter every 6 to 12 months under normal operating conditions.

Final Stage 99.97% HEPA Filter @ .3 Microns: H610C-99 

PRED1200 Final Stage Round Replacement HEPA Filter Gets the Job Done 

The H610C-99 is the final stage round replacement HEPA filter for Abatement Technologies, Inc.'s multi-use PRED1200 air filtration device, equipped with pre-filters and a HEPA filter capable of filtering many airborne contaminants. 

The PRED1200 provides particulate and odor, vapor, gas filtration with final stage filtration through a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. The PRED1200 incorporates a series of particulate filters which successively remove larger size to smaller size particles from the air.  

In addition to providing HEPA filtration, the PRED1200 is primarily used in a negative pressure or recirculation mode. A negative pressure condition is created to confine contaminated airborne particles. This condition exists when the static pressure inside the room containing the unit is lower relative to the pressure of the environment outside the room. The static pressure differential is created and maintained by continuously exhausting air out of a given room at a faster rate than air enters the room from all other sources.  

In the recirculation mode, all the filtered air is exhausted back into the room containing the unit. 

How HEPA Works 

HEPA filters capture 99.97% of airborne contaminants as small as 0.3 microns in size. The Abatement Technologies H610C-99 HEPA filter removes bacteria, mold spores, soot, pollens, animal hair, animal dander, dust mites, smoke particles, and other allergens and lung damaging particles. 

A largely effective final stage filter! 

Easy Replacement for Optimal Performance 

The PRED1200 features a filter change indicator specific to the HEPA filter. A red light indicates excessive restriction on air exhaust or loading of the HEPA filter and that filter change procedures should be followed. 

The manufacturer recommends you change the H610C-99 HEPA filter every 2 to 3 years under normal operating conditions. However, the size and concentration of airborne contaminants, temperature, humidity conditions and duration of use determine how often filters need replacement. As the filters become loaded with particulate matter, the airflow capacity of the unit decreases and the static pressure differential across the filter increases. 

Abatement PREDATOR and HEPA-AIRE Portable Air Scrubbers are equipped with easy-to-read filter change indicator lamps that illuminate when filters should be replaced. Unlike gauges, these lamps do not require operator interpretation or calculations. Average filter life (with continuous operation):
