Each cartridge will last around 15-20 loads of laundry and is easily replaceable in just a couple of minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFibre retention is based solely on physical retention with the help of clever patent-pending technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also send the used cartridges back to us and we'll forward them on to PlanetCare. They will ensure that they are reused or recycled.  This ‘closed loop’ system ensures that there is minimum wastage throughout the whole process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomething to think about:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoing the laundry can have a huge environmental impact, whether that be using tons of energy running the washing machine and tumble drier - or the pollutants that are released from the products you use. Using a microfiber filter is just one way of reducing that impact. Why not make a few more changes - we've tons of handy tips in our blog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's in the box?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll get everything you need to fit your PlanetCare washing machine filter with these handy starter kits, meaning you can get it in place and start catching microfibers straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mini Starter Kit includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 housing top with a cup, 1 holder, 4 screws, 1 tube (1.5m), 1 silicone lubricant, 1 counter, and 3 filter replacement cartridges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 3 cartridges.

In fact, for most washing machines this process takes less than 10 minutes. The filters are compatible with all types of washing machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's actually a handy how-to video and a useful installation guide  you can take a peek at if you need a little bit more guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a good idea to position it high enough above the floor\/surface so the cover can be removed to change the filter and position the device so that it is easy to screw the cover back after each filter change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: \u003cstrong\u003eyou will need 13 cm on the side of the washing machine and approx. 60 cm in height clearance\u003c\/strong\u003e so that you will be able to easily unscrew the housing and change the filter comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filter must be placed outside the washing machine on the drain hose. It should not be raised above the height of the drain hose exiting the washing machine. The hose length should be held to a minimum. Raising the filter and a long drain hose will both reduce the efficiency of pumping and filtering and should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the filter housing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filter housing alone, without any attachments, measures the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eheight 325 mm, width (hose attachment direction) 122 mm, and depth 130 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the microfiber filter easy to use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the first load, just make sure the filter cover is replaced correctly and screwed tight before using the washing machine. Try a short wash and make sure all connections and covers are fixed and watertight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s also a good idea to hold the top of the device when replacing the filter cover to avoid putting pressure on the bracket fixings when unscrewing the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter that, you do not need to do anything until the cartridge is full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does the closed-loop system work?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen your cartridge is full you can send it back by Royal Mail: https:\/\/planetcare.org\/pages\/cartridge-returns\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat does Planetcare do with the fibres?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanetCare recycles the fibres. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remainder of the cartridge is cleaned, and fitted with a new filtering medium ready to be used again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PlanetCare","offers":[{"title":"Mini Starter Kit","offer_id":46716613820450,"sku":"get1788255879698","price":27.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL Starter Kit","offer_id":46716613853218,"sku":"efr1788255879699","price":60.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5260\/9314\/files\/planetcare-microfibre-filter-starter-kit_1.jpg?v=1788255885","url":"https:\/\/buyyourclad.shop\/products\/planetcare-microfibre-filter-starter-kit","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
