Aerostar Pleated Air Filter

These filters are designed to last for 90 days. For optimal HVAC performance and air quality, we recommend replacing them every three months, though you may need to change them sooner if you have pets or live in a particularly dusty environment.

A MERV 8 rating indicates that this filter is effective at capturing common household particles like dust, pollen, and pet dander. It strikes a great balance between improving indoor air quality and maintaining proper airflow for your HVAC system.

No, these are disposable filters. They are made from synthetic media designed for single use, so you should discard the old filter and replace it with a fresh one rather than attempting to wash it.

This filter measures 21.5 x 23.5 x 1 inches. Before purchasing, please check the dimensions printed on your current filter or measure your filter slot to ensure a proper fit, as even a small gap can allow unfiltered air to bypass the system.

No, this specific model is designed for particle filtration—such as dust and allergens—rather than odor reduction. If you are looking to neutralize smells, you would need a filter specifically treated with activated carbon.

The pleated, electrostatically charged synthetic media in this filter captures significantly more particles than basic fiberglass options. Additionally, the reinforced frame provides better structural integrity, which prevents the filter from collapsing under pressure and ensures consistent airflow.
