I've had an electrostatic filter for about 10 yrs, can't remember the brand. I've been reverse hosing it every 3-6 weeks, less if I don't run the AC or furnace. I think the thing to do is vacuum it first, then hose it. The reason for this is that if you have small clumps of dust on the filter and you fail to hose it all off the tiny wet dust clump will dry up and stick to the filter kind of like paper mâché, then it's hard to get off.

Wash it outside with the hose. Let air dry. Wash it inside in the bathtub or laundry sink. Let the water run through it and then let air dry.

It was my understanding that the filters lasted the life of the machine. I clean it once a week with a vacuum cleaner...use the brush attachment.

There is a finger loop on the filter on the back side of the heater. Just pull gently away from the heater and the plastic filter assembly pops out. Clean by washing with dish soapy water, or brushing. At the end of each heating season, I like to clean the 5 ceramic discs by blowing air through the front of the heater. No need to remove the discs-just remove the dust filter. To re-install, insert the bottom of the plastic filter assembly into the heater housing then snap in the top ( where the finger loop is) into place.

I don't know how to clean it. I think we need to order new filters. I love mine too and will have to go to the web site to see about ordering new filters.

I clean with soap, water, and sponge, let it air dry completely including the filter, then just pack it in a paper towel in a big ziploc bag so I don't lose any of the little parts.

The filter can be vacuumed, not washed. Eventually. the filter will need replacement, but not for a while.

Pull out the compartment in the front of the unit that holds the water. When its completely out of the machine look inside at the top and there is a pull tab that you pull down and that is the filter. Just pull it out clean it and slide it back in.

I just snap it apart and into empty in the garbage. If it's really dusty I'll just wipe it with a rag. I'm sure you could probably wash it if you like. I use an old toothbrush to brush off the filter. That seems to work really well

I remove the regular filters and put them in the slots where the regular filters go, put it all together and run. Then I throw away the blue spring cleanup filters that are soooooo dirty when it is finished running. Hope this helps.

I am not sure there is any way to really clean it. I think you may need to but replacement filters. I don't think that they were meant to be washed.

There are instructions on youtube. You basically use soapy water and wash the filter. Let it dry. Then apply a little bit of oil on the tips of the fins to collect the initial portion of dust and so forth. Different manufactures use different methods.

Sorry, I can't help with this. I returned the item due to poor performance and didn't have it long enough to have to clean the filter. Good luck.

I use a bottle brush or you can open the filter at top and use air spray it works well. I take it outside if I use the air spray.

No problem - you can remove it as often as you like. You just want to keep it as clean as possible; removing it will expose the back of the filter to dust.

I order the filters from Home Depot. You can also vacuum the cartridges and the felt pre-filter and get a little more life out of them. Remember to push in the reset button by holding down the end of a paper clip into the hole till it beeps.

Clean the filter after each use, or when the Neato tells you to. As for replacing the filter, I purchased a set of spares and rotate the use of them, allowing me to always have a clean, dry filter in case my little "dumbot" fills up before finishing the job.
