$3 FACTORY REBATE AVAILABLE THROUGH MARCH 31ST, 2011 12" X 24" X 1" Filtrete® Ultra Allergen Reduction Filter from 3M - #2020 - 6 pack The Filtrete® Ultra Allergen Reduction Filter carries a 3M Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR) of 1500 - roughly equivalent to a MERV 12 rating Click here for detailed comparison of 3M Filtrete® 1" Filters Features: Meets the American Lung Association® Health House® Indoor Air Quality Guidelines No unnecessary antimicrobial chemicals added; Filtrete filtering material will not support the growth of bacteria, mold, mildew or fungi in normal use Contains electrostatically charged media to filter and attract particles in the air 90% effective at capturing large allergens like: Pollen Mold spores Dust mite debris Attracts and captures microscopic allergens like: Smoke Pet dander Household dust Smog Bacteria Particles that carry viruses * This filter should be changed at least every 3 months. Certain conditions in your home will significantly add particles to the air - this will cause the filter to capture more particles, shortening it's life to less than 3 months. These conditions would include: dirty ductwork, pets, construction work, sanding projects, tobacco smoke, burning candles, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves. WHY USE MPR RATHER THAN MERV RATING? The Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry uses the ASHRAE 52.2 Standard, which assigns a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) to a filter. One part of MERV reports a filter's ability to capture medium to large particles between 1 and 10 microns. This value is helpful in comparing the performance of different filters but it is not adequate alone because particles greater than one micron make up only about 1% of the contaminants in your indoor air. Another part of MERV addresses submicron particles. 3M calls this the MPR or Microparticle Performance Rating. It measures a filter's ability to capture particles between 0.3 and 1.0 micron. Based on independent laboratory tests, 3M's MPR measures a filter's ability to capture submicron particles that make up 99% of the particles in the air, such as bacteria, smoke and smog.

Comments about 3M 12 x 24 x 1 Filtrete® Ultra Allergen Reduction Filter - #2020:

These filters are great for folks with pet allergies and dust allergies! They are fantastic at trapping pet hair and dander and keeping it from recirculating through the house via the air ducts! I've been using these for 3 years now, and it's almost as if we don't have allergies any longer!

Comments about 3M 12 x 24 x 1 Filtrete® Ultra Allergen Reduction Filter - #2020:

For shop air filtration, this item is the best. It can be taken outdoors and blown out several times . . . even washed. Wood dust is filtered out but does not cling to the filter element.
