How to Replace Overspray Booth Filters

Quick answer

Replacing overspray booth filters is a simple maintenance task that keeps your Norvell spray tan equipment running efficiently. You can rinse and reuse the black fan filters, but having a spare set on hand makes cleanup faster.

Step-by-step replacement process

1. Turn off and unplug the booth: Always disconnect power before handling any internal parts. This prevents accidental activation and keeps you safe. Never skip unplugging — even if the booth appears off.
2. Remove the old filter: Open the filter access panel or slide out the filter tray. Carefully pull out the used filter. If it's wet, hold it over a sink or trash bag to avoid dripping. Check for tears or heavy buildup — if damaged, replace rather than rinse.
3. Rinse or replace the filter: If reusing, rinse the filter under warm running water until the water runs clear. Gently squeeze out excess water. If replacing, discard the old filter and insert a new one from your 4-pack. Do not use soap or bleach — plain water is all you need.
4. Let the filter dry completely: Place the rinsed filter on a clean towel or drying rack. Allow it to air dry fully before reinstalling. A damp filter can promote mold and reduce airflow. This is why having a spare set is handy — you can use a dry one while the other dries.
5. Reinstall and test: Slide the dry filter back into the tray or compartment. Close the access panel securely. Plug the booth back in and run a short test cycle to confirm airflow feels normal. If airflow seems weak, double-check that the filter is seated correctly and not blocked.
