Carbon Filter: When and How to Replace

The activated carbon filter in the AirCore P2 absorbs volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odours, and gaseous pollutants. Unlike the HEPA filter, the carbon filter's lifespan depends heavily on your environment — homes with cooking odours, pets, or high VOC levels will exhaust it faster.

When to replace

• Every 6 to 12 months under typical household conditions
• When the Monverta app sends a carbon filter replacement notification
• When the unit is running but odours are no longer being removed effectively
• If the filter appears visibly discoloured or has a strong stale smell when removed

What you'll need

• Replacement carbon filter — part number MV-ACP2-CARBON
• A flat, clean surface to work on

Steps

1. Power off the unit. Unplug the AirCore P2 from its power source before starting.
2. Remove the base housing. Grip the base and twist anti-clockwise about 30 degrees until it releases, then pull it downward. This is the same procedure used for HEPA filter access.
3. Slide out the HEPA filter. The cylindrical HEPA filter sits in front of the carbon filter. Gently pull it downward and set it aside on a clean surface.
4. Remove the carbon filter. The carbon filter sits directly behind (above) the HEPA filter in the housing. Slide it out downward.
5. Insert the new carbon filter. Slide the replacement carbon filter into position. It only fits one way — align the tab with the notch in the housing.
6. Replace the HEPA filter. Slide the HEPA filter back in with its directional arrow pointing up.
7. Reattach the base housing. Push the housing onto the base of the unit and twist clockwise until it clicks into place.

Tips

• The carbon filter cannot be washed or regenerated. Once saturated, it must be replaced.
• If you live in a high-pollution or high-odour environment (near a busy road, open kitchen), consider replacing every 6 months.
• After replacing, open the Monverta app and reset the carbon filter life counter under Device Settings.
• Order replacements at monverta.com/accessories to ensure you always have a spare on hand.
