1-3 of 3Discover our range of replacement filters for your Defro ventilation unit, all made in the EU! Filter Loop selection includes high-performance M5 (ISO ePM10 55%) filters sets, designed to protect your system and improve indoor air quality. An optional version with activated carbon is also available. Whether you’re looking for original Defro filters or affordable house brand alternatives, all our options are quality-tested and fully compatible with Defro MVHR units. Model compatibility
This category includes filter sets compatible with all major Defro MVHR ventilation units, including:
- DRX V / OPTI series
To ensure the right fit, it’s important to know the exact model of your ventilation unit, as different models require different filters. You’ll find helpful tips on identifying your device in the FAQ section.
Filter types and what they protect against
Filter Loop’s replacement filter sets for Defro units are designed to ensure optimal air quality and system performance through dual M5 filtration and an optional activated carbon filter:
- M5 filters (ISO ePM10 55%) on the extract and supply side: ideal for capturing larger particles like pollen, mould spores, pet dander, and house dust.
- M5(AC) filter (ISO ePM10 55%) on the supply side: with a layer of activated carbon, which adsorbs a wide range of gaseous pollutants and odours.
Usage and maintenance
To keep your MVHR system running efficiently and your indoor air clean, we recommend replacing the filters every 3–6 months. However, this depends on your environment, if you have pets, or nearby construction.
To make the process easy, we provide step-by-step replacement instructions for each filter model. You can find them under the “How to change” tab on every product page.
Manufacturing quality you can trust
The original Defro filters are manufactured in Poland using advanced filtration technologies. Our carefully developed house brand filters are also made in the European Union by certified manufacturers. Both are produced with high-quality materials, under strict ISO 16890 standards to ensure high filtration performance and reliability.

Does Defro make ventilation units, or only heating systems?
Defro is best known for biomass boilers, but it also makes residential ventilation units with heat recovery, often installed alongside Defro heating equipment. We stock filter sets for the Defro DRX V and OPTI V units, which share the same filter size.
What filter type does a Defro DRX V or OPTI V unit use?
Defro DRX V and OPTI V units use an M5+M5 filter set — one M5 filter on the extract side to protect the heat exchanger and one on the supply side. We stock it as an original set and as a lower-cost house brand set, plus an original set with an activated carbon filter for odour control.
Can Defro filters be replaced without a technician?
Yes. The filters in Defro DRX V and OPTI V units sit behind the filter cover and slide out without tools, so you can change them yourself in a few minutes. Switch the unit off before opening the cover and check the airflow arrows on the new filters before inserting them.
Since Defro units are often installed alongside biomass heating, is an activated carbon filter option available to manage smoke odour?
Yes. We stock an original Defro DRX V / OPTI V activated carbon set (M5+M5 AC). The carbon layer helps absorb smoke and other odours drawn into the fresh-air intake — for example from a nearby wood burner or biomass boiler — while still filtering dust at M5 level. It replaces the standard set and fits in the same two slots.
Can I order a full year’s supply of Defro filters at once, and is there a discount for doing so?
Yes — ordering a full year's worth of Defro filters (typically two to four sets, depending on your replacement interval) in one purchase is a convenient way to avoid running low, and multi-set orders are usually priced lower per filter than buying one set at a time.
