For greatest benefit, the air cleaner should run
all the time. To do this, set the fan switch on
your thermostat to ON, and make sure the air
cleaner is switched ON. The fan and air cleaner
will run even when the furnace or air conditioner
is off.
NOTE: A manual fan switch may be built into
the furnace or furnace fan controller.
The air cleaner uses less power than a 40 watt
light bulb (two-cell model—33 watts; single cell
model—22 watts). The cost of running the
system fan will vary with the size of your fan
motor and the cost of electricity where you live.
Most air cleaner owners feel that the added cost
is more than offset by the added benefits of full
time air cleaning and full time air circulation.
You may feel that the room temperature stays
more even when the fan is always on.
Although the air cleaner is designed to be
efficient over a wide range of cell dirt loading
conditions, regular cleaning is your best
assurance of consistent performance. Also, a
very dirty cell and prefilter reduces air flow and,
in turn, reduces the efficiency of the furnace or
air conditioner. The cell wash reminder sched-
ule or the optional W8600A AIRWATCH®
Indicator should be used to maintain a regular
wash schedule.
An activated carbon (charcoal) filter is some-
times installed downstream of the air cleaner to
help control odors. This filter should be changed
at least annually, or as recommended by the
filter manufacturer. Total Comfort System does
not offer carbon filters for this application.
Replace any
activated carbon
filters in the
ductwork
regularly
