What is Filter change interval?

In short

How often the filter should be swapped, in months, and what that interval does to the cost of running a machine.

The filter change interval is the time between filter replacements, counted in months, as the manufacturer states it. It shapes both the running cost and the upkeep, because a shorter interval means more filters to buy and more often you have to open the machine and swap the filter. Air Health gives a filter interval of 6 months, Airthereal 6 to 8 months, and Alen Air Purifiers 12 to 15 months.
