The Filtrete 20x30x1 air filter is an excellent choice for improving the air quality in your home. It is designed to capture unwanted particles and allergens, creating a cleaner and fresher environment. With a rating of 1000 MPR and a MERV 11, you can trust that this filter will do its job. A filter with a MERV of 7 or 8 is a good balance between air conditioning performance and indoor air cleaning. A mid-range filter will remove mold spores, hairspray, dust mites, and animal dander without restricting airflow.
If you have pets, children, or allergy sufferers in your home or business, it is recommended to replace filters more often to maintain higher indoor air quality and keep energy costs down. Generally, an air filter with a higher MERV rating is more effective and has a wider application, but most residential households will find the best use in an air filter with a MERV rating of 5 to 13. It is important to note that when creating a filter with this tool, you must use the “real” size of the filter, that is, the size shown by the measuring tape, and not a nominal filter size. You'll have less dust and the air will smell cleaner because these filters can even help eliminate odors. Air cleaning filters are electrostatically charged to capture and trap dust particles and, at the same time, remain effective against a range of other contaminants. Be sure to measure the filters you are going to replace or the filter cover to make sure they match exactly.
