What filter set protects against
Filter set includes 2 filters of different efficiency classes:
- Extract filter – G4 (Coarse 80%) – for MVHR protection
- Supply filter – F7 (ePM1 70%) – for indoor air protection
This filter set follows the ISO 16890 standard for particle filtration efficiency.
The G4 filter captures up to 80% of coarse airborne particles that are larger than 10 microns, such as soil particles, large pollen grains, plant debris, insect wings, sawdust, sand and textile lint. It's designed to clean the air extracted from your indoor space, helping to reduce visible dust and general build-up in the ventilation system. This lowers energy consumption, keeps the unit quiet, and extends your system’s lifespan.
The F7 filter captures around 70% of very fine particles as small as 1 micron, including bacteria, smog, tobacco smoke particles, combustion dust, spores, and wildfire smoke particles. It helps clean incoming outdoor air before it enters your premises, improving indoor air quality and protecting your health.
Usage and maintenance
Blauberg recommends replacing the filters every 6 months, to ensure optimal air quality and system performance.
However, replacement frequency may vary depending on factors such as:
- Air pollution levels (e.g. urban vs rural areas)
- Allergies or respiratory sensitivities
- Indoor pets or smoking
- Dust from nearby construction sites
Vacuum cleaning is allowed. After two consecutive cleanings filters must be replaced.
If your system includes a filter change indicator, follow its alerts. Otherwise, check the filters visually – if they appear very dirty or clogged, it's time to replace them.
Manufacturing quality
This filter set is part of our carefully developed house brand, manufactured in the European Union by our trusted partners who meet our strict quality standards. We work closely with each production partner and perform our own quality control checks to ensure every filter delivers reliable performance and consistent quality.
The G4 panel filter on the extract side is made using Z-line technology, featuring folded filter media mounted in a cardboard frame. Such design increases the filtration surface area, improves particle retention, ensures a more uniform airflow distribution, and maintains a low pressure drop.
The F7 compact filter on the supply side is made using Minipleat technology, a dense pleating method where the filter media is tightly folded and bonded with glue. This glue fixation keeps the pleats evenly spaced and stable, ensuring consistent filtration across the entire surface. Compared to standard pleat types, this design offers a larger effective filtration area, more uniform airflow distribution, improved particle capture, and a lower pressure drop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions ordered by popularity.
Filter class refers to the size and amount of particles a filter can trap. The higher the classification, the more effectively the filter removes particles from the air.
For incoming outdoor air, it’s generally recommended to use higher-class filters. However, we always suggest following the manufacturer’s guidance and using the specific filter sets outlined in your unit’s eco-commissioning documentation.
For more information, take a look at our comprehensive guide to filter classes for heat recovery units.
It is recommended to change the filters in your HRV every 3 to 6 months, depending on how dirty they become. However, the key signs that your filters need replacing include:
- An increase in noise from the HRV
- A reduction in the amount of air being supplied or extracted
Smart HRVs with an electronic control panel and display screen show the volume of air supplied and extracted per hour.
For example, if a Zehnder ComfoAir Q350 HRV in a 140m² home operates at an optimal rate of 190m³ per hour but drops to 150–170m³, the filters should be replaced.
- Check the label on the unit itself, which usually displays the manufacturer and model number.
- Contact your installer or the developer/builder of your property for details.
- Measure the width, length, and height of the filter, then use these measurements to browse our online shop. Our system will suggest the correct recuperator filters for your unit.
