Dehumidifiers and filters.

Changing the filter in your Acetec dehumidifier

Changing the filter regularly is important to ensure that your dehumidifier works optimally - both in terms of dehumidification capacity and energy efficiency.

We recommend that you change the filter twice a year, or more often if your dehumidifier is used in dusty environments.

A fresh filter helps to:

  • Maintain a consistent and high dehumidification capacity
  • Keeping energy consumption at a low level
  • Protect the dehumidifier components from dust and particles
  • Extending the life of the dehumidifier

How do you know when it's time to change the filter?

If you have a dehumidifier with control panel you will receive an automatic filter alarm when it is time to change. But even without an alarm, it's a good idea to set your own schedule, for example by changing filters in conjunction with spring and autumn cleaning.

You can also look for signs that the filter is becoming clogged:

  • Reduced efficiency in dehumidification
  • Increased noise level from the device
  • Higher energy consumption
  • Visible dirt on the filter

Here's how to change a filter

Changing the filter is easy and requires no tools. Watch the video for a step-by-step guide (note that the video below shows an older dehumidifier model - on newer models in the RCF range, there is no need to open the lid).

When the filter becomes dirty, the airflow through the dehumidifier is obstructed. This makes it harder for the dehumidifier to draw in moist air and reduces its capacity. At the same time, the fan has to work harder, which increases energy consumption and puts more strain on the system.

Be sure to clean the dehumidifier when you change the filter. Gently vacuuming the inside will help keep the system free of dust and dirt that can otherwise negatively affect its functionality.

Which filter fits my dehumidifier?

All our models use specific types of filters. You can find the right filter by:

  • Check the user manual or via the QR code on the dehumidifier itself
  • Visit our filter guide below
  • Or contact our customer service

We offer original filters that are customised for best function and fit. Always use recommended filters - this will ensure your dehumidifier works to specification.

We sell our dehumidifier filters in 3-pack or 20-pack. Having extra filters at home makes it easy to change directly when needed. Visit our filter guide via the link below or Acetec webshop to find filters that fit your model.

💡 Feel free to try our filter guide to help you choose the right original filter for your Acetec machine.
