| How often do you clean your FP filters? It depends on operating conditions (low/high brightness), dust conditions ... The faster the fan will be running the more frequently filters should be cleaned. I have been operating my FP for 250 hours now but have not cleaned it once. It is running in its very dimmest mode in a sealed room where dust is obviously minimal. Not cleaning the filters can create some issues over time (dust blob build-up, overheating if filters get clogged). But It is hard to say when this will happen. I am just a little lazy because the projector has to be dismounted/cleaned and mounted and re-ajusted. I think I will do it today (250 hours is enough)... How often do you clean your filters?

| Re: How often do you clean your FP filters? I think I have to reformulate my question: " Have you ever cleaned your projector filter?"

| Re: How often do you clean your FP filters? I cleaned mine for the first time in a year. It was pretty bad. I noticed the fan was straining (in that I could hear it). Took about 5 minutes and didn't even upset the alignment of the projector. Something to consider when selecting a projector (how easy the filter and bulb changes are). | |||

| Re: How often do you clean your FP filters? Hi Anthony, What projector do you have? How many hours did you have on it? It is true it is better to be able to clean the filter without having to reajust/realign the projector/screen combo, but I wouldn't consider that a decisive factor when buying a projector due to relatively long time between adjacent cleenings.

| Re: How often do you clean your FP filters? Z4. It's on a shelf with the lens shift almost maxed out horizontally. It usually takes a while to dial it in, so not upsetting it is a big priority for me. But in this alignment I would have to pull the unit to change the bulb  | |||

| Re: How often do you clean your FP filters? LOL... Why a year? As far as recommendation ya Tariq, it will depend on operating condition (low vd high brightness, dusty vs clean).
