Pollen Filtre

[LEXMAN]

Hi all,

On my arsito vertex 99, i suppose on gs300 as well there is a pollen filtre .

Can we clean the pollen filtres or should we buy new ones...

This is the filtre behind the glove box.

new ones cost about $70 aus....the technician from lexus told me they just sanatise them. so i celaned mine once before but read on the UK forum that u can't clean them. ?

Hi Lexman

I can't swear to this, but I run a company that removes asbestos, and those HEPA filters are our bread 'n butter. The guys vacuum them every day before fitting them to the masks that they wear, so they should take a vacuum cleaner without a problem. They are usually a paper filter just like an air filter, although the 'fineness' of the paper varies. I'm sure they are strong enough to take a blast from an airgun on the 'clean' side, so you blow the pollen on the dirty side off again. My big ones are nearly $1000 each!

Holden had them for a few years, but they weren't a selling point and I think they've dropped them now.
