HEPA Filter - Replacement for Dyson Airblade TAP Hand Dryers - AB09 AB10 AB11

HEPA Filter

Filter model number 965395-01. 

The latest Dyson Airblade™ hand dryers are fitted with a HEPA filter that traps 99.97% of particles, as small as 0.3 microns, from the air that passes through the filter when tested to ASTM F1977 HEPA by independent test house IBR.

A HEPA filter is very effective at removing airborne particles from the air. To meet the US HEPA standard, filters are required to remove 99.97% of particles from the air, of which any particle size could be as small as 0.3 microns.

This ensures that users are drying their hands with clean air. Filters that don’t meet these stringent standards are potentially less effective at removing bacteria from the air.

How to replace the Dyson Airblade Tap HEPA filter:

The first thing to do is to cut power to the unit.  This is usually done via the circuit braker in the electrical panel that serves the dryer.  Once that is done, it is safe to proceed with changing the filter.

The HEPA filter is located at the bottom of the motor bucket and hose assembly (white plastic portion under the sink). 

To access the filter, you will need to depress the red button on the bottom of the unit which will partially release the motor componant. You will then be able to swivel the motor bucket out and free of the rest of the under sink assembly.  Located on the front of the motor bucket is a small semi-circular tab with a small square hole at it's tip.  Insert a micro-screwdriver or other narrow metal tool into the hole and gently pivot it up and down until the tab releases and the filter assembly separates from the base.  Next attach the new HEPA filter and replace the motor bucket in the bracket under the sink.  It is now safe to turn the circuit back on restoring power to the TAP.
