Hi Everyone. Thanks for tuning in to another MyProjectorLamps video.
Today we’re going to discuss Projector Filters and some useful filter maintenance tips.
(Roll the MPL Intro)
Did you know your projector has a filter? Every single projector has one and it’s important to know how it works.
(Pull out filter from projector)
The most common question we get from our customers is: Do I need to replace the filter when I replace the lamp? The answer is no!
Something that the manufactures of projectors don’t want you knowing is that, filters can be used, and re-used time and time again – as long as they are cleaned properly. In an ideal audio visual world, your filter should be cleaned out on a monthly basis. This would help keep both the projector and projector lamp running optimally. But because we are all busy, 1-2 times a year should suffice.
Filters come in all shapes and sizes.
(zoom in on the filters)
Generally there are going to be two materials that your filter is comprised of – one is more paper-like and the other is more sponge-like. (Point right hand in one direction and left hand in the other, as paper will appear on one side and sponge will appear on the other).
If your filter is more paper-like, you can tap it on a table or use a compressed air duster to eliminate excess dust.

If the filter in your projector is sponge-like, you can actually wash it out using dish soap and water. Make sure to let it completely dry before putting it back into your projector. If you’d rather not deal with that process, you can also use a compressed air duster in this instance as well.

As you can see, this isn’t rocket science, and there’s no use spending money unnecessarily on a new filter that you simply don’t need!
