Hea team...yea yea late to the party again, I figured I would give am alternative insight to what the HEPA voodoo magic is/does
Really good read History and facts about HEPA filters | Camfil
Of course your use and exposure will vary. My background we changed the HEPA element quarterly/every 90 days regardless of condition...
with that said...were you operating in BIO-WEAPONS MODE driving in and out of a smokey, nasty air quality enviroment for days? did you drive through a dust storm.....were you in the vicinity of a political group yelling and breathing....did you drive through central/eastern Washington in the summer...did you drive over a month of heavy humidity....were you someplace like hawaii that had 40 days of rain?
what is your health worth...lung infections, or any other ailment?
Lastly---the filter(s) in any HVAC system, is to "first" protect the condenser and evaporator from dirt/dust getting stuck to the coils reducing efficiency.
Tesla put a very well thought-out HVAC system in their cars, and what we paid for them, goes to that saying, how much should you spend on a helmet what's your head worth?
it's a very complicated filter system, and the recommendation is (x) to change, be your own grown up.
good luck and stay safe out there
