An air filter’s minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) rating measures how effectively the filter stops dust and other contaminants from passing through the filter and into the air stream.
While you may automatically think that a higherMERV ratingmeans a better air filter, that's not always the case. Higher MERV ratings aren't always necessary and can decrease your unit's efficiency. The best MERV rating will be the one that suits your needs and lets your unit run efficientl...
The filter media preferably has a MERV rating of 7 to 16. In another embodiment, a pleated filter element is provided having a filtration layer and a support layer mated together to form a waved filter media with a plurality of peaks and troughs. The waved filter media is pleated. In ...
