Airthereal R500 + V500 Composter Replacement Filter | Activated Carbon | Biodegradable | 2-Pack
The R500 and V500 handle odor through one embedded filter — this is the replacement, biodegradable start to finish.
The activated carbon filter is what keeps the composting cycle odor-free, absorbing food waste smells as the SHARKSDEN tri-blade system grinds, heats, and dries scraps down. It's compatible with both the R500 and the visual V500, the same filter across the lineup. The filter itself is 100% biodegradable and 100% chemical-free, and so is the packaging — both can go straight into an outdoor compost pile once spent, not back into the electric composter itself. Each filter lasts 2 to 3 months of normal use, so this 2-pack covers roughly 6 months of continuous operation.
Installation is simple: pop off the back panel, peel the black protective stickers from the filter, and confirm the arrow faces upward before reinstalling. Signs it's time to replace include a clogged filter or odor returning from the unit — but the composter tracks it directly, too. After installing a new filter, press and hold the filter reset light for 3 seconds to clear the old cycle count and start fresh. Unused filters store well: up to 6 months inside the composter's working environment, and over a year in a normal sealed environment if kept for later.

Native Manor Note: A composter that's built around reducing waste shouldn't need a filter that creates more of it. This replacement keeps that promise — biodegradable material, compostable packaging, and odor control that lasts the better part of a year across two filters. The maintenance matches the machine.
