FAQs
Can I wash and reuse these carbon filters?
No, these filters cannot be cleaned. Once the activated carbon is saturated with fumes, it must be replaced.
How often should I change the filter?
Replacement frequency depends on your usage volume. Change the filter when you notice reduced airflow or if odors begin to linger.
Will these fit other brands of solder fume extractors?
These filters are specifically designed for the Eagle Solder Fume Extractor. They may not provide an airtight seal in other models.
How should I store the extra filter?
Store unused filters in a cool, dry place inside a sealed plastic bag to preserve the integrity of the carbon.
What is the weight and dimension of each filter?
Each filter measures 130mm x 135mm x 10mm and weighs approximately 0.01kg.
Troubleshooting
Reduced airflow or suction
The filter is likely saturated with particulates; replace it with a fresh unit.
Visible smoke passing through the filter
Ensure the filter is seated tightly in the housing without gaps; if seated properly, the filter is expired and needs replacement.
Persistent odor while soldering
The carbon has lost its efficacy over time; swap for a new filter from the pack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install your new filter, simply power off and unplug your Eagle Solder Fume Extractor. Remove the protective front grille or casing of the unit, pull out the old filter, and insert the new 130mm x 135mm x 10mm filter into the slot. Ensure the filter is seated flush against the frame to prevent air from bypassing the filtration media.
Care instructions are straightforward: these filters are non-washable. Exposing the carbon media to water or cleaning solvents will permanently degrade its adsorption capabilities. Keep unused filters in a sealed, dry bag to prevent the carbon from absorbing moisture or pollutants from the ambient air before they are put into service.
