- Is this filter really washable?
- Yes. K&N rates it washable and reusable, so you rinse the pleats and let it dry fully before reinstalling.
- What does MERV 8 capture?
- MERV 8 catches pollen, dust mites, lint and mold spores. It is not a HEPA-grade filter for fine particles.
- Will it fit my 12 x 24 x 1 slot?
- It is built to that nominal size. Measure your grille opening and check the actual filter dimensions before buying.
- How often should I clean it?
- Most homes need a rinse every one to three months, more often with pets or heavy dust.
- Is $49.99 a good price?
