Can one reuse carbon air filters?
I have a Vornado HEPA air filter. I finally got around to changing the carbon filter today and noticed there was a thick layer of grey dust on it. After shaking it out outside, it looks pretty much like a new one. Is there any invisible and/or chemical difference in a used carbon filter that would make it undesirable to reuse. or can one reuse a carbon filter after merely shaking the dust loose?
What you are shaking off are the coarse particles you can see. The purpose of a HEPA filter is to trap very small particles in the carbon. Replace the filter.
