FAQs

How do I know which Filtco filter to order?

Filtco's business is supplying superior quality replacement filters for chemical and biological equipment applications, so we make it easy for our customers to select the proper product:

  • Use the manufacturer's name and model number from the equipment's identification tag, purchase documentation, or manuals.
  • Use the part number on the identification tag of the filter being replaced (CAUTION! Some filters collect hazardous materials during use and should not be handled.)

Can I use "aftermarket" replacement carbon filters to lower overhead costs?

Any replacement filter should be carefully sourced from a manufacturer you know and trust. Responsible filter manufacturers such as Filtco produce filters that comply with industry and third-party standards for safety and performance. Facility managers, lab safety officers, educators and end-use personnel must be confident in the efficacy of any replacement filter to protect them from VOCs and other fumes that the fume hood is designed to contain. Learn more about the dangers of improperly manufactured filters and filter integrity by downloading our white paper.
