Estimating Cartridge Life

Estimating Cartridge Life

Estimating how long a cartridge will last and the number of days between services 

is critical to performing an installation that can be serviced efficiently. This includes 

determining the number of Air/Q™ 565s needed for a space. Please refer to Pro-

litec’s ‘Sizing and Consumption Tool’ which is available from Prolitec in an electronic 

file. The chart below can be used as a rough guideline for sizing.

21,800 – 25,200

617 – 714

46 thru 50

26,100 – 30,000

730 – 850

These settings are suggested as a starting point. Start on the lower end of the 

range and adjust after 15-30 minutes. Fragrance type, room size, number of fresh 

air changes per hour, temperature, humidity and user preference will determine the 

final setting. Best practice is to use Prolitec’s ‘Sizing and Consumption Tool’ avail-

able from Prolitec as an electronic file.
