The Vaayuraksh Ceiling Fan Filters

No. Unlike some air purifiers that use ionizers or UV which can produce ozone (a lung irritant), Vaayuraksh is 100% passive mechanical + carbon filtration. No electricity, no ozone, no noise beyond your fan itself.

Yes — and particularly recommended. Vaayuraksh captures the fine particulate matter (PM1–PM5) and allergens that are the most common asthma and allergy triggers. Many of our customers specifically purchased it to manage asthma symptoms at home.

Yes, completely. Vaayuraksh filters contain no chemicals, fragrances, or additives. They are passive filters — they only trap pollutants, they release nothing into your air. In fact, they're ideal for children's rooms and nurseries where air quality matters most.

A standalone air purifier costs Rs. 5,000–30,000, takes up floor space, only cleans air in a small radius around it, and costs electricity to run. Vaayuraksh turns your fan — which is already running — into a whole-room air purifier for just Rs. 759. No extra electricity, no extra space, no expensive machine. It works with what you already have.

We recommend replacing every 4–6 weeks depending on your air quality and how often your fan runs. If you live near a main road, construction area, or have pets — replace closer to 4 weeks. In cleaner environments, filters can last up to 6–8 weeks. A simple rule: if the filter looks visibly dark or grey, it's time to replace.

Not at all — if you can peel a sticker, you can install Vaayuraksh. Step 1: peel the backing. Step 2: stick to your fan blade Step 3: turn your fan on. Total install time: under 2 minutes. No tools, no electrician, no hassle.

Vaayuraksh filters are designed to fit most standard ceiling fans in India — 3-blade, 4-blade, and 5-blade fans. The filters are flexible and trimmable, so even if your fan is an unusual size, you can easily cut them to fit perfectly in under a minute.

No activated carbon filters can't be regenerated by washing. Once the carbon is saturated, the pad has done its job and should be replaced. Simply swap in a fresh pad every [3-5 months] for continuous clean air.

It shouldn't. While the pads add a small amount of aerodynamic drag, they're far too light to slow down a healthy, functioning motor. If your fan slows noticeably after installation, the cause is almost always something the filter simply revealed not the filter itself.

My fan slowed down after installing the filters. How do I find the real cause?

Walk through these checks:

• Test without the pads — Each Vaayuraksh pad weighs only a few grams. Remove them and run the fan; if it's still sluggish, the fan needs repair, not the filter.
• Check the capacitor — The single most common cause of a slow ceiling fan. This small component regulates motor power and wears out over time. If the fan struggles to start or needs a push, it likely needs replacing.
• Lubricate the bearings — Dust and grime build up in the motor's ball bearings, adding friction that drags speed down. Lubrication usually restores it.
• Clean the motor windings — Caked dust inside the motor housing acts like a blanket, slowing revolutions and causing the motor to overheat.
• Inspect the regulator — Older resistive wall regulators restrict the power reaching the motor, capping blade speed.

How do I know the filter is actually working?

Weigh a pad when it's brand new, then re-weigh it after 30–60 days of use. You'll typically see a noticeable increase in mass that added weight is the dust, allergens, and pollutants the filter has pulled out of your air.
