Can one reuse carbon air filters?

Mar 05, 2007 by endingmirage | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

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

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.
