everyone a mic with Paul plumber today we're going to show a video on how to clean your ductless air filters on these mini splits first a little bit about ductless mini-split they're a great use for somebody who doesn't have ductwork in their house provides individual room comfort and provides the same level of comfort as a central AC unit would they're also heat pumps so if shoulder seasons you want to use a very simple metal version of heat instead of using your main heat source that's what these are perfect for and it's actually running out a pretty high capacity right now and you probably can't even hear it unlike those bulky window you know so be screaming right now they're on full blast alright so the first thing we're going to do before we start cleaning this filter is going to shut it off another thing about these ductless mini-split says you're going to get a controller for each one in every room you put it in so you can control the temperature through this how high the fan speed is I can put in a economy mode set different times for when you want it to be different temperatures it's really useful right now we're just going to shut it off alright so to remove the filters from these you first got to lift these tabs up on the side here you go up like this you press it up all the way like that then you're gonna see the two different filters in front here I'm gonna use this arrow and just slide it out as you can see it's collected a fair amount of dust this units only about two months old but we have been doing some construction out here so it's typically a little bit dirtier than you would expect a two-month-old unit to be however it's a great idea to go in about once a month on these units and then just clean it off and to clean this we're just gonna take a vacuum over it I'm just gonna collect all the dust on both sides and then we'll slip it back in took about five minutes total to clean both of these and now we can just slide them right back into the unit I'll show you how to do that too alright so you're gonna use this arrow to guide you up there then you're gonna go to the edge of this one side you're gonna slide it up and over just kind of feed it back in slide this part under so it's really important to make sure that you're cleaning those filters out one of the great things about these mini spuds is the filter it's something that you won't find in a typical window AC unit these things bring in really clean air but you just have to make sure that it's trapping all that stuff but you want to keep it clean so it can continue to do that and let clean air flow through and not get stuffed up
