Filtaurio — Help

The same help the app carries, so you can read it before installing and link to it afterwards. Everything here is in the app too, under Settings → Help.

Getting started

Add your first unitStart on the Equipment tab: add the appliance, then the filters inside it.How a filter's life is worked outEach equipment type has a nominal service interval, each filter role multiplies it — a HEPA lasts longer than a coarse prefilter, a grease trap shorter — and your home profile stretches or shortens the result.Your home shapes every dateFloor area, number of occupants, pets, smoking and how hard the ventilation runs all change how fast a filter loads.More than one homeA flat and a country house are two sets of filters on two different streets, and the app keeps them apart.Everything the app does, in one tabThree tabs are the house — what is due today, the year ahead, the equipment itself.On a tablet, and on a MacOn an iPad this is not the phone stretched.

Equipment & filters

What you can trackHeat-recovery units, air conditioners, range hoods, air purifiers, cone prefilters, fans, vacuums, water lines and pumps.Photograph a label instead of typingPoint the camera at the rating plate and the app reads the brand, model and — where the plate lists them — the filter sizes.Check the box in the shopScan a barcode on a filter carton and the app tells you whether it matches something you already track.Bring a unit over from VentaurioIf a Vallox recuperator is set up in Ventaurio, it can hand the unit over instead of you typing it in.

Dates & reminders

A year, not a listThe calendar spreads every change and cleaning across the next twelve months, so a month with three filters due is visible before you are standing in it.Reminders arrive early on purposeA notification the day a filter is due is useless — the filter is not in the house yet.Everything that is not a filter**Routines** are the beta module: the windows, the tyre swap, the smoke alarm's battery, the dentist, the bag of coffee.Ask the AI how oftenFor anything the catalogue does not have — something you typed yourself — **Suggest with AI** searches the web with your own key and comes back with an interval, a sentence saying who recommends it, and the pages it read.The next one, on the home screenThe home-screen widget carries whatever is nearest: the filter, the appliance it belongs to and how many days are left.Due dates in your own RemindersOn iPhone the app can write every due date into a list in Apple's Reminders.On the watchThe watch shows the one line this app exists for: what is next, and when.The season, measuredWith Pro the app can move an air filter's date by what the air outside has actually been doing since it was fitted — pollen and particulates measured near your home, never a forecast.

Money, data & Pro

The list knows the sizesEverything due collects into one shopping list with the size, class and quantity for each line, so a trip to the shop replaces four trips to the cupboard.What filters actually costCosts adds up what you have spent and what the next year will ask for, per appliance and per filter, at the prices you entered.Backup and restoreEverything lives in a database on this device.The maintenance recordA document of what was actually done: every service with its date, the filters fitted right now, and what it all cost — as a PDF to hand over and two spreadsheets to work with.What Pro unlocksThe free app tracks a home's worth of equipment and reminds you about it.
