User questions & answers

Question:	smoke smell
Answer:	Thank you for asking! Filtrete filters are designed for use in many types of furnace systems. If your system is a high velocity system you may need to change your filters out sooner. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to connect with us directly at 1-800-388-3458 M-F 8am-5pm CT.
Question:	what is the MERV rating
Answer:	Thank you for asking. The actual filter size is 19 15/16 24 5/8 x 4 3/8 Inches. You may need to measure your filter intake opening to verify the size will fit.
Question:	I purchased 6 of these filters less than a year ago for $58, why has the price been increased by almost
Answer:	I believe Righthand is just the brand name.
Question:	air flow direction - always thought the black carbon was the first layer from the intake - but doesn't show like that on package
Answer:	I’m not sure but it says 15.5. But it works way better than the attic tent we had. It kept getting caught and insulation came out of it. This was simple to install and closes the gaps way better.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the actual size? The picture shows 23.8x 20.5 inch, but the technical details say 7.4x10.8 inches
Answer:	The filter arrives folded up. You unfold,cut ad install
Question:	For the filtrete extra large air purifier, where do these go? does one go in each pre-filter slot or just one on the outside of the main filter
Answer:	I cut it to size and placed it under the main filter. There is a small space there in the filter holder, and the rails that the filter holder slides in on hold the Prefilter in place.
Question:	What are the dimensions? The photo shows 24x20, but info says otherwise
Answer:	My filter size is 20x20x1, so considering what I cut off to fit I would say 24x22. I shared the second one in the pack with a neighbor or I would go physically measure it for you. I am really pleased with this product!

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this 2 two packs for a total of four filters? Or two filters total
Answer:	TWO PACKS means TWO . You must check the box stating how many filters you wish to buy, either 2 or 4 or 6. Hope this helps!
Question:	Has anyone experienced any issues with blower motors going out due to the merv 13 restricting air flow? my hvac guy said it happened to his customers
Answer:	No, I have never had a motor fail in my home, and I've used a high MERV filter for several years. I had a starting capacitor fail, but I think that was a faulty cap. (capacitor plague), and not over heating due to poor airflow. A clean higher MERV filter is probably going to allow more air flow than a dirty low MERV filter. Closed up registers and dirty trunking are also going to contribute.
Question:	where can i find the static pressure chart including airflow as well as pressure drop
Answer:	The credit goes to the gentlemen who posted the answer in https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1N62EHZET52S7/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewpnt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00TUDHPQK#R1N62EHZET52S7 The complete response from 3M below: Generally speaking, for most residential HVAC systems, the filter will become restrictive when it reaches a .5 pressure drop. All of our filter media fibers are polypropylene and polyolefin plastic which will remove particles that measure 3 to 10 microns. Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR), MERV Ratings, and pressure drops are as follows: Elite Extra 2400 3-10 microns - 96% MERV 13 pressure drop .21 Elite Allergen 2200 3-10 microns - 94% MERV 12 pressure drop .18 Maximum/Ultimate Allergen 1900 3-10 microns - 93% MERV 12 pressure drop .16 Allergen Deep Pleat 1550 (4"). 3-10 microns 97% MERV 12 pressure drop .12 Ultra Allergen 1500 310 microns - 90% MERV 12 pressure drop .15 Odor Reduction 1200 3-10 microns - 85% MERV 11 pressure drop .24 Micro Allergen 1000 3-10 microns - 80% MERV 11 pressure drop .21 Dust & Pollen 600 3-10 microns - 65% MERV 7 pressure drop .20 Dust Reduction 300 3-10 microns -35% MERV 6 pressure drop .20 Flat Panel 3-10 microns -5% MERV 1 Pressure Drop .08 Pressure drop is a measure of air flow resistance. It is measured by inches of Water Column (W.C.) at 300 feet per minute (FPM). Clean/new filters are not restrictive to air flow. Filters will become restrictive if they are not changed when needed. A filter's life is actually determined by the user's living conditions and will vary for every user. Generally speaking, we recommend changing filters approximately every 3 mo nths. To determine when the filter needs to be change, we suggest holding it up to the light. When you cannot see light through the filter, it is ready to be changed, even if it is before 3 months. If you are concerned about airflow, you might want to use the filter with a lower pressure drop. If you have a high velocity furnace with high fan speed, you may need to change the filters more frequently, every 1.5 to 2 months.
Question:	Is this a single package of 6filters, OR is it 6 packages with each package having 6 filters
Answer:	It is a box with 6 filters in it. Normally these things retail for $19+ ea(Filter rating is 1900 by the way-as the packaging it came in did not state that although the Amazon description did).

User questions & answers

Question:	does this have ionizer? or a uvc
Answer:	No UVC or ionizer.. it is air purifier
Question:	Does it work with smart plugs or external timers

Question:	Above the filter replacement button there are 2 light indicators, what does the one labeled "pre" means? Thanks
Answer:	It’s equipped with 3 filters. One main filter that you replace that is indicated by the “filter” light. There are 2 “pre-filters” at the bottom that slide in each side that are reusable and are to be cleaned by either vacuum or rinsing indicated by the “Pre” light.

User questions & answers

Question:	The description states "filtrete micro allergen defense filter, mpr 1000..." but the picture shows mpr 1550....which one are you buying
Answer:	What size filter are you looking for? This listing has 3 choices - both of the choices that have a description of mpr 1550 are actually called allergen reduction filters & clearly state that they are mpr 1550. I use one of these sizes & always get the 1550. If you need 16X25X4 it's called allergen defense filter mpr 1000. I couldn't find any other statement in the description that listed the mpr - so to me it's unclear. You might want to contact amazon customer support to verify the mpr, but also, the product can be returned if it's not what you were looking for.
Question:	What are the dimensions of the filters? The product image shows 4" deep (20x25x4), but the option is only 1" deep (20x25x
Answer:	The one I purchased was 20x25x4. If you only have option for 1 inch thick, then it sounds like they are out of the 4 inch version.
Question:	Never had an air conditioner or furnace so I have a rather silly question. How can I tell when the filter needs changing - dirty on the backside
Answer:	When it gets dirty on the air intake side. Don't wait for it to get caked with dust as this will cut down on air flow and make your furnace/air conditioner work harder to reach your desired temperature. Filter vendors often recommend changing 4 times per year, but your mileage may vary depending on how much you heat and cool and the cleanliness of the air being moved. I change about 3 times per year, but I could go to twice. Do you change your car filter? How dirty does that get? Be sure the actual size of the filter is correct for your blower. Filtrete nominal sizes and actual sizes differ. I got stuck with 4 filters I can not use. I bought the size 16x25x4, but the end of the filter has the actual size: 16 x 24 1/2 x 4 1/2. the 4 1/2" dimension is too large to fit.
Question:	what is the Merv Rating and how do you convert 1550 MPR to a Merv rating
Answer:	While I am not sure the Filtrete Allergen Reduction Filter is exactly the same as the Filtrete filter shown in the following commercial website, the table shows a MERV of 11 for a MPR of 1500. All the products seem to be 1" rather than 4." I don't know if that affects the MERV. http://www.iallergy.com/filtrete-air-filter-comparison.phpThe bottom of this commercial website page also describes the relationship of MERV, MPR, and FPR ratings for AC and furnace filters:http://www.bestfilters.com/AC-Furnace-Filters_c_605.htmlBased on my reading of the table, a MERV of 11 seems consistent with MPR of 1550.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why is there not an option for the size 14x30x
Answer:	Take a look at filterbuy and see if you can find that size.
Question:	My hvac system is 30 years old. I have an old magic chef one just wondering if this will be ok to use for it, we have a very musty smell in the house
Answer:	A: If you haven't upgraded you system I would recommend starting at MERV 8 then going up or down depending on how your system responds. Unfortunately the manuals for the Magic Chef units are extinct. They've been purchased and merged into a handful of companies since the 80's. This link will provide a great resource about MERV ratings and what their best use is. I have horrible allergies so I use MERV 14 in one HVAC system. It's hospital quality. In our other house we use MERV 8 and it does well in our 10 year old unit. It catches a lot of dust and pet hair. It's a great middle ground. The higher the MERV rating the higher the cost, so experiment and see what works. United Filter : https://unitedfilter.com/merv-ratings
Question:	We have a problem with not enough air conditioning flow in the upper level of the house. Would this filter make that worse
Answer:	Two things can equalize upstairs and downstairs cooling. #1 If you don's have one, have a thermostatically controlled exhaust roof fan installed. They are the metal mushroom shaped things on roofs with fans inside, they exhaust the super-heated air out of the attic and make a huge difference in upstairs comfort b/c that blanket of 110 degree or more air is now at least closer to the actual outside temp. #2 Set your circulation fan to run all the time vs. turning off after every cooling cycle. Set "FAN" switch to ON vs. AUTO. If your source and return registers are working good then now the temperature of the house won't tend to "stratify" or get layered when the downstairs thermostat is happy but the truth is there's a large temp diff between floors b/c heat rises. Running the fan will help to keep cycling the whole house air and keep it mixed. Plus it gives the thermostat better knowledge of what's really going on. But, I can't stress enough on the roof fan.
Question:	Im wondering how much flow this filter cuts back, i currently use the 2200 filters with no problem anyone had any experience yet
Answer:	from what I have read the pressure drop of the 3M 2800 (merv 14, 97%) is .24 psi. the 2200 is I think .20 to .22 psi for the 3M filters.

User questions & answers

Question:	i recently got these mpr1000 filters now i hear near the air vents like im guessing dust move around not sure if its normal
Answer:	Due to the design of it, the lock bar most likely won't snap in place if anything is placed between the filter and the case. Some saw dust is normal. It's a design flaw unfortunately. Honestly haven't had any running issues from the way it is set up.
Question:	Does this filter contain fiber glass

Product description

You run a tight ship at home, from floor to ceiling -- and everywhere in between. Unfortunately, ordinary home non-electrostatic air filters aren’t super effective at capturing unwanted particles. GOOD NEWS: The unique design of the electrostatically charged Filtrete Basic Dust Air Filter attracts -- and trap --more particles from your air through your heating and cooling system, making quality control a breeze. With each cycle through the filter, your indoor air becomes a little bit cleaner.

The Filtrete 300 MPR dust reduction filter not only vastly improves the air quality in your home, it also keeps your air conditioning and heating systems running efficiently, saving on utilities and maintenance costs. The electrostatic filter attracts and captures airborne dust, pollen, and other large-particle contaminants to keep surfaces in your home clean and dust-free longer. With each pass through the specially pleated filter, the air in your living space improves, making for a healthier home environment. This high-performance filter outperforms comparable non-electrostatic fiberglass and washable and reusable one-inch filters.

Electrostatic Design Captures More Particles

The 3M dust reduction filter is made with both positively charged and negatively charged fibers that act like tiny magnets to attract air-polluting contaminants. Since particles in the air are either positively or negatively charged, they are attracted to and captured by the filter and kept out of your living space.

Electrostatic filters, including the 3M dust reduction filter, perform better than comparable non-electrostatic fiberglass and washable/reusable filters, because they attract and capture the small, allergy-aggravating microparticles that non-electrostatic filters can't.

Improves Indoor Air Quality

With indoor air a surprising two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, the 3M dust reduction filter can make a difference in maintaining a healthier home environment by cleaning air with each pass through the filter.

Ideal for capturing large particles from the air, including household dust and pollen, the 3M dust reduction filter features a 300 Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR).

Improves Efficiency

This dust reduction filter also keeps your heating and air conditioning equipment working efficiently by removing dirt and reducing strain on the motor. It is recommended that you change the filter every three months. However, the effectiveness and life of the filter can vary and depend on the individual conditions in your home.

Developed by 3M engineers to help capture airborne allergens, the Filtrete filter media is electrostatically charged to act like tiny magnets to attract and capture microscopic particles from the air as it passes through the filter.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why do mine come out black after a relatively short amount of time
Answer:	I haven't learn how to do that yet
Question:	The product description lists 2 sizes- 14x24x1 in large font and 14x14x1 in small font. Which size will I receive? What are the actual dimensions
Answer:	Yes it will. it also shuts off when the power goes out and you have to restart it.
Question:	Are these UV resistant
Answer:	No! It's ONLY a heater and it works by heating oil inside the radiators. There is forced air or fan involved. Again, it's only a heater!
Question:	What is the merv rating
Answer:	Heaters that have the temperature selection will shut off automatically when the temp selected is reached. When the ambient temp goes lower than the selected temp is will turn back on. I have 2 of these and have been using them for 2 "winters", they work perfectly.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where are they made
Answer:	Mexico
Question:	These came in an amazon box with no wrapping of any kind. Wouldn’t it be bad for a filter to not be protected from particles
Answer:	Although your filters should have had plastic wrapping from the manufacturer, I wouldn't worry about particles being bad for the filter. That's the job of a filter to trap particles...as long as it looks new and undamaged, should be fine.
Question:	Do these merv 11 filters have enough air flow for any furnace
Answer:	Thank you for asking! Filtrete filters are designed for use in many types of furnace systems. If your system is a high velocity system you may need to change your filters out sooner.
