16" X 25" X 1" Filtrete® Advanced Allergen Reduction Filter from 3M - #AA01DC - 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 93% 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 Particles that can carry tobacco odors * 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.

Best easy air flow filter on the market

Bottom Line:

Comments about 3M 16 x 25 x 1 Filtrete Advanced Allergen Reduction Filter - #AA01DC:

These are the best easy air flow furnace filters on the market. With 3 dogs bringing in all sorts of allergens, I generally switch the central-air furnace fan from "auto" to "on" when I'm home, and let the filter go to work. Do change these types of filters out every 3 months or air flow might become restricted (if you have 3 big four-legged pollen carriers like I do, might want to check them every 4-6 weeks).

Service & Delivery comments:

Product arrived on-time in the same condition as if I had picked it off the shelf at my local hardware store myself.
