The Elga LC136M2 Composite Air Vent Filter is a hydrophobic, microporous filter designed to protect reservoir storage tanks in Elga water purification systems—such as Purelab, Medica, Maxima, and Biopure models. With a nominal filtration rating of 0.2 microns, it effectively prevents airborne particulates, microorganisms, and bacteria from entering stored water supplies. In addition, its absorptive composite media minimizes organic and CO₂ contamination, helping maintain the purity and integrity of laboratory-grade water at all times.

Engineered for seamless system integration, the LC136M2 installs directly on the vent port of storage tanks and offers tool‑free mounting for easy maintenance. It incorporates a secure locking mechanism to ensure an airtight seal, preventing both leaks and contamination breaches. Many systems incorporate pressure-differential monitoring feedback, allowing maintenance scheduling whenever clogging or airflow resistance indicates filter replacement is needed—typically recommended annually in routine service protocols.

Clinically and operationally, replacing the LC136M2 annually helps prevent microbial ingress and supports compliance with water purity standards in clinical diagnostic or research labs. By safeguarding against air-borne contamination, the filter enhances uptime of downstream RO and DI components and reduces the risk of water quality excursions. Despite being a legacy Elga part number, it remains stocked by authorized suppliers, reflecting its ongoing utility for older systems still in service.
