- What size filter does this replace?
- It replaces a nominal 16x25x1 filter. The actual dimensions are 15.5 x 24.5 x 0.82 inches, so measure your slot before ordering.
- How often should I wash it?
- Most homes rinse it every one to three months, more often with pets or heavy dust. Let it dry fully before putting it back.
- Is MERV 8 enough for allergies?
- MERV 8 catches pollen, dust and lint. For smoke, fine particles or serious allergies, a MERV 11-13 pleated filter captures more.
- Will it strain my furnace or AC?
- No. MERV 8 is close to the airflow of a basic filter, so it is easier on the blower than high-MERV pleated media.
- Does it work in both furnaces and AC units?
- Yes, it fits any system with a 1-inch filter slot that takes a 16x25 filter.
- Does the electrostatic charge last?
- It weakens with repeated washing. The filter still works mechanically, but expect less dust attraction over time.
