- If
I use a recycled air filter, does it void my manufacturer's warranty? No. The
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act of 1975 protects consumers from voided
warranties by use of compatible parts unless that manufacturer can prove that
the part directly contributed to a failure. For more information, visit the FTC's
website.
- Is
recycling filters really better for the environment than buying new filters? Yes.
Turbo Vac approaches this business with a "ZERO LANDFILL OUTPUT"
mentality. All reusable filters are cleaned, inspected and returned to production.
The removed excess dust is used by concrete manufacturers as a binder. The non-reusable
air filters (filters that, for one reason or another, cannot be put back into
production) are compacted and recycled for their metal content.
- How
does Turbo Vac get and return the filters? Turbo Vac services the state of
Florida. Pick up and delivery is included as part of our service. Out-of-state
customers may use their own shipping method or we can arrange shipping at the
additional cost.
- How
many times can a filter be recycled? Typically, filters can be recycled an
average of five times. Some filters can be recycled up to 30 times. The
real limit is whether the filter gets damaged during use or whether is does not
pass the stringent quality tests.
