PlanetCare Microfiber Filter

Filter out microfibers and reduce pollution with every load of laundry.

It connects directly to your machine and works automatically during each cycle—no extra steps required. With high filtration efficiency and a closed-loop recycling system, it’s an easy way to make your everyday routine more responsible.

FAQs

How do I choose the right product?

If you get a Starter Kit Mini, you'll receive the housing and everything you need to set up the PlanetCare filter, as well as 3 cartridges that together last for up to 90 laundry washes (depending on the materials that you wash). This option is perfect if you'd like to test out the filter first and see how it works for you. If you're already committed to stopping microfiber pollution, then our Starter Kit Regular is the right option for you. You'll receive the housing and everything you need to set up the PlanetCare filter, as well as 13 cartridges that together last for up to 390 laundry washes (depending on the materials that you wash).

How does the filtration process work?

The filtration proceeds by physical capture of fibres through a material with small openings. Due to the elongated form of fibres filtering of fibres is very specific so nominal opening size does not represent a sharp cutoff. In depth (3D) filtering in several steps is used to extend filter durability and fibre retention.

Can a clogged filter damage my washing machine?

No, the filter cannot damage the machine.The flow through the filter will become more restricted the longer it is used to the point that water flow will be too low for normal functioning (draining) of the machine. The filter will detect a blockage of the drain path and will automatically trigger the AUTOMATIC BYPASS, stopping the filtration process and enabling the wash cycle to be finished. After replacement of the used filter cartridge normal function can be resumed.

Are there any chemicals used in the filter?

No chemicals are used in the construction or the functioning of the filter. Fibre retention is based solely on physical retention with the help of our patent-pending technology.

Does the filter require energy for its functioning?

No. The filter is a passive device that uses the pumping action of the washing machine.

Is PlanetCare filter 2.0. compatible with my washing machine?

Don't worry, we made sure that PlanetCare 2.0 microfiber filter works with all washing machines. PlanetCare filters are compatible with all types of washing machines: HE/high efficiency, standard, front loaders, and top loaders. But if you do have any questions regarding installation or setting up your filter, please contact us at [email protected].

Good so far

Nicola (Verified Buyer) 5/5

I've not been using the filter very long and it appears to be a good product.

Doing out part

Sheila (Verified Buyer) 5/5

We can only take responsibility for our own actions; plastics have become such an enormous problem. Being able to remove some of the microfibres from our clothes is one thing we can do and I’m so happy to be given this means of filtering them out with PlanetCare’s washing machine filters. Apart from being easy to install, the most surprising and satisfying thing is the reasonable cost, and, even more, being able to return the used cartridges for free! I wish other planet-friendly products were as affordable.

I am beyond impressed

Elizabeth (Verified Buyer) 5/5

I think this is the easiest way in the world to help sustain ocean life! The company has worked with me so beautifully with every question I have had., Even replacing a part that I dropped and broke. Their care is not just limited to the planet! They care for and are very responsive to their customers! I have just put a new system in place for myself to remember to change my filter. I have not been good about that. It is the easiest thing to do, but I just forget. The tightening tool they have is a must! It makes the process so easy! I am beyond impressed and totally thrilled with both the company and the product!! Thank you for your concern and action on behalf of our planet.

Working well

Torquil (Verified Buyer) 5/5

The filter is easy enough to fit despite my washing machine’s location. Early days yet but I’ve done a couple of loads in both bypass and filter modes. All seams fine with no leaks. It will be a few weeks until a filter change that I’ll be able to see the results.

Easy to install

Emily 5/5

We aren’t very handy so we were a bit nervous to fiddle with the water hoses but it was actually super easy! So far it works great: no leaks, and excited that we are reducing our plastic footprint on the world

Feel good purchase

Shirley (Verified Buyer) 5/5

It took some figuring out to find the right place for it. Had to pull washer forward and push dryer back to put on side. Makes me feel good knowing i am keeping fibers out of our mountain water supply.

Installation was easy

John (Verified Buyer) 5/5

The filter was easy to install. I no longer have to worry about being responsible for causing microfibre pollution, which I am happy about.

Doing my part

Rosemary (Verified Buyer) 4/5

It took a while to install but my son-in-law helped. I have done two washes so far and all is well. I’m most please to be part of a cleaner world, I love and respect this planet.

Very nice

David (Verified Buyer) 4/5

The filter is good. Only the attachment of the bracket with double-sided adhesive tape can be better. The bracket does not stick to the washing machine.
