Which SAVE VSR 500 version do I have – pocket or compact panel?

Pocket filter version (older units): filters are deep “bag” pockets hanging into the unit, with a 7‑pocket F7 supply filter and a 3‑pocket G3 exhaust filter.
Compact panel filter version (new units): filters are flat panels, F7 in supply and M5 in extract, both 25 mm thick.

If you are unsure, open the unit and visually check whether you have deep pocket filters or flat compact panels before ordering your filters.

Systemair SAVE VSR 500 filter classes and dimensions

Below are the standard filter classes and dimensions for both SAVE VSR 500 versions. All dimensions are given without gasket – filters are supplied with gasket.

Older SAVE VSR 500 – pocket filters

F7 / ePM2,5 70% – supply air pocket filter
Size: 472 × 279 × 321 mm, 7 pockets
G3 / Coarse 50% – extract air pocket filter
Size: 237 × 472 × 325 mm, 3 pockets

New SAVE VSR 500 – compact panel filters (PF STD kit 25212)

F7 / ePM1 60% – supply air panel filter
Size: 472 × 279 × 25 mm
M5 / ePM10 50% – extract air panel filter
Size: 472 × 237 × 25 mm

Both configurations provide an excellent balance between particle filtration and low pressure drop, allowing energy-efficient and quiet operation.

Carbon filter kits – for odor and VOC reduction

Carbon filter kits for SAVE VSR 500 (both pocket and compact versions) contain activated carbon media that help reduce:

odors from traffic, cooking, smoking or industry
volatile organic compounds (VOC)

These kits are especially recommended for homes close to busy roads or urban/industrial areas where odor control is important.

How often should SAVE VSR 500 filters be replaced?

Recommended replacement interval for both pocket and compact versions:

1–2 times per year in normal residential use
more frequently if:
- you live near busy traffic or construction areas
- outdoor dust or pollen levels are high
- pets are present indoors

Filters should also be replaced earlier if visibly dirty or if the unit displays a filter/service alarm. A clogged filter increases pressure drop, reduces airflow and raises energy consumption.

Filter installation in Systemair SAVE VSR 500

switch off the unit before opening the service panel
remove used filters carefully to prevent dust from spreading inside the unit
check the airflow direction arrows on the filters and install accordingly
ensure filters fit tightly in the frames with no bypass gaps
for pocket filters – make sure the pockets hang freely and are not twisted;
for compact panel filters – check that the gasket is evenly compressed around the filter

Always refer to your specific Systemair SAVE VSR 500 user manual for detailed installation and maintenance instructions.
