Activated Carbon Adsorption
The filter core is impregnated with activated carbon, a porous material with high surface area that adsorbs ozone molecules on contact, accelerating breakdown from O3 to O2.
Post-Cycle Safety Mechanism
This is not an air intake filter. It operates as a post-cycle component, intercepting residual ozone leaving the sanitizer before it reaches the surrounding environment.
Converts Residual Ozone After Every Cycle
After each sanitization cycle, the activated carbon filter converts residual ozone (O3) into active oxygen (O2), ensuring equipment is safe to use again. Without a functioning filter, residual ozone lingers longer before it fully dissipates.
Performance Degrades With Use
Activated carbon sites become saturated over time. As adsorption capacity decreases, ozone conversion slows, extending the wait time before equipment is safe to handle. Replacement at 6 months preserves the designed conversion rate.
Replace Every 6 Months
The manufacturer recommends replacing this filter every 6 months. A degraded filter extends ozone dissipation time, increasing the wait before equipment can be safely used.
Compatible With Both NUWAVE Sanitizers
Fits both the NUWAVE Plus Sanitizer and the NUWAVE Travel Sanitizer. One replacement SKU covers both units.
Signs You Need a New Filter
Persistent ozone odor after 2 hours of ventilation, visible discoloration, or physical degradation are indicators the filter should be replaced immediately.
90-Minute to 2-Hour Dissipation Window
Under normal operation with a fresh filter, residual ozone fully dissipates within 90 minutes to 2 hours after the sanitization cycle ends.
