🏠 Household term
HEPA filter
A high-efficiency particulate air filter that traps very fine dust and particles, used in some vacuums and air purifiers.
Why it matters
HEPA filters capture very fine particles, which some households prefer for dust or allergy concerns.
🇸🇬 In Singapore
HEPA filters are popular in Singapore during haze periods, when fine particles in the air increase. Check how often filters need replacing and keep spares ready before the haze season.
Tips before you buy
- Check how often filters need replacing.
- Make sure spare filters are easy to buy.
- Clean or replace filters as the manual advises.
