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.

This is a great filter if you have anybody in your household with allergies. It is rated to last for 3 months so it saves time spent on filter changes and makes up for the higher price. The 24"x24" size is hard to find in the local stores, so I like the convenience of buying the 6 pack to have on hand. Our HVAC service guy did mention that they put a greater strain on the blower, so it is important not to let them get too dirty. I have a return that is close to the floor and it looks dirty much faster than the upstairs ceiling return - it helps to open the cover of the return and quickly vacuum out the cat hair and other big stuff it collected.

I always buy high end filters from IAQ for my heat pump. It's a difficult unit to service (located 8 feet up in the air in a closet of my 150 year old brownstone) and it's important that I get the best performance money can buy.
