Frequently Asked Questions

Air filtration system selection depends on:

• Room size (cubic footage)
• Air changes per hour (ACH)
• Type of contaminants (dust, smoke, mold, odors, VOCs)
• Required filtration level (bag filter %, carbon weight, HEPA, etc.)

Our team evaluates airflow dynamics and contaminant load to recommend a properly sized solution — not just a box with a fan.

Most CleanLeaf and Blue Ox models operate between ~48–66 dBA, depending on airflow setting and unit size.

Lower-speed settings and optional silencers are available for sound-sensitive environments.

Most units are plug-and-play on standard 115V power and include suspension or bracket mounting options. Units can be ceiling-hung with eye bolts and chain, or wall-mounted with L-brackets.

For larger commercial or industrial applications, we may recommend airflow planning to optimize circulation patterns.

Filter life varies by environment and contaminant load. Typical ranges:

• Pre-filters: 1–3 months
• Carbon media: 6–12 months
• HEPA or high-efficiency bags: 6–18 months

Higher particulate or odor loads may shorten these intervals. We recommend running units 24/7 for consistent air quality and maximum filter performance.

Our systems are engineered to capture and control:

• Dust and fine particulate
• Smoke and haze
• Mold, mildew, and biological contaminants
• Odors and VOCs
• Pollen and allergens
• Chalk dust and airborne debris

Filtration stages may include pleated pre-filters, high-efficiency bag filters, HEPA media, and activated carbon depending on the application.

CleanLeaf offers a 2-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship for authorized distributors and end users.

To make a claim, you must get approval first. Approved claims are resolved with a replacement or credit/refund. The warranty is void if the product was misused or used outside its intended purpose.

We also provide ongoing support and access to replacement filters.

Activated carbon is the most effective method for capturing odors and VOCs. For light odor applications, a carbon filtration stage combined with particulate pre-filtration is typically sufficient.

For heavy or persistent odors — such as those in flower rooms, processing areas, or smoke lounges, we recommend high-mass carbon configurations or multi-stage carbon banks for deeper adsorption and longer service life.

The right configuration depends on your primary concern:

• Dust & Particulate: High-efficiency bag filters or HEPA media capture fine particles, pollen, and airborne debris.
• Odor & VOC Control: Activated carbon stages adsorb odors and chemical compounds. Heavy odor environments benefit from multi-stage carbon banks.
• Mold, Bacteria & Bioaerosols: HEPA-grade filtration captures spores and biological contaminants down to 0.3 micron.
• Combined Concerns: Hybrid carbon + HEPA units address both odor and pathogen control simultaneously.

CleanLeaf and Blue Ox systems are used across a wide range of environments, including:

• Agriculture: Indoor grow facilities, greenhouses, livestock barns, processing and packaging areas, and material storage.
• Commercial Retail: Smoke lounges, cigar bars, dispensaries, pet stores, and multisport training facilities.
• Manufacturing & Production: Pharmaceutical, food and beverage, cosmetic manufacturing, warehouses, and woodshops.
• Residential: Garages, workshops, leisure rooms, cellars, and home storage spaces.

CleanLeaf and Blue Ox have merged into one unified brand. Together, they offer a broader range of air filtration systems built on decades of combined real-world experience.

Both product lines are available through CleanLeaf, giving you access to more configurations, more contaminant control solutions, and greater flexibility for your space — all from one trusted source.

Most common airborne contaminants are 1 micron or larger. Here is how our filtration levels compare:

• HEPA filters capture 99.97% of particulate down to 0.3 micron — ideal for mold spores, bacteria, pollen, and fine dust.
• High-efficiency bag filters capture 95% of particulate down to 1 micron — effective for most dust, haze, and larger biological particles.
• Pleated pre-filters extend the life of downstream filters by capturing larger particles first.

Yes. CleanLeaf ambient air filtration systems are designed to complement your existing ventilation, not replace it. They recirculate and clean the air within a space, targeting contaminants that standard HVAC systems are not designed to capture.

For spaces exhausting air externally, we may recommend additional odor control measures at the exhaust point. Our team can assess your full setup and recommend the right combination.

Yes. The CleanLeaf CL400 is our portable air filtration system, designed for spaces up to 400 sq. ft. It rolls between rooms as needs change and is ideal for any space that requires flexible coverage.

Absolutely. Every facility has unique airflow dynamics and contaminant challenges. Our specialists assess your cubic footage, particulate load, equipment layout, and operational conditions to determine the correct CFM, filtration level, and unit placement.
