Filtrete Air Filter

The 1900 Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR) indicates this filter's ability to capture tiny particles like bacteria, viruses, and smoke. It is equivalent to a MERV 13 rating, meaning it provides high-level filtration that is significantly more effective than standard fiberglass filters at trapping microscopic irritants.

While this filter is highly effective at capturing particles, it is engineered to maintain proper airflow in most residential HVAC systems. However, because it is a high-performance filter, it is important to check your system's manual to ensure it is compatible with MERV 13-rated filters to avoid putting unnecessary strain on your blower motor.

For optimal performance and to keep your HVAC system running efficiently, you should replace this filter every three months. If you have pets or live in a particularly dusty environment, you may need to check it sooner, as the filter will load up with debris faster.

No, this is a disposable synthetic filter and is not designed to be washed. Attempting to clean it will damage the electrostatic fibers that make it effective, and it should be discarded and replaced with a fresh filter once it reaches the end of its three-month lifespan.

Yes, this filter is highly effective at capturing common household allergens, including pet dander, dust, and pollen. Its electrostatic technology actively attracts and traps these particles, making it a strong choice for households looking to improve overall indoor air quality.

This filter is compatible with the Filtrete Smart app, which allows you to track the filter's life based on actual usage rather than just a calendar date. You can scan the filter or manually input the installation date in the app, and it will send a notification to your phone when it is time for a replacement.
