How do we know when it is time to replace a paint mask filter? Mine is for paint, glues, solvents, etc so it might have an activated carbon media or something else that will only last so long. How do I know when its time is up?
If all else fails. Read the instructions. PS It should be written on the filter it self. If you think it's time to change the filter, it's way past the time to change the filter.How do we know when it is time to replace a paint mask filter?
