16x20x1 AC Furnace Air Filter, MERV 5, MPR 300, 3-Month Pleated Electrostatic Air Cleaning Filter, 6-Pack

At home, you are meticulous about cleanliness, ensuring that every nook and cranny is spotless. However, regular non-electrostatic air filters don’t do a great job at trapping unwanted particles. The good news is that the Filtrete Basic Dust Air Filter, with its unique electrostatically charged design, does a fantastic job at attracting and capturing more particles from your air, guaranteeing better quality control. Each time the air cycles through the filter, it becomes cleaner, making maintenance a breeze.

Not only does the Filtrete 300 MPR dust reduction filter significantly improve the air quality in your home, but it also helps keep your air conditioning and heating systems running efficiently, which can lead to savings on utility and maintenance costs. By attracting and capturing airborne dust, pollen, and other large-particle contaminants, this electrostatic filter keeps the surfaces in your home clean and dust-free for longer periods. With each pass through the specially pleated filter, the air in your living space becomes healthier, creating a better home environment.

Compared to non-electrostatic fiberglass and washable/reusable filters, including the 3M dust reduction filter, electrostatic filters perform better by attracting and capturing small, allergy-aggravating microparticles that non-electrostatic filters can't. This is crucial, especially when you consider that indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. The 3M dust reduction filter helps maintain a healthier home environment by cleaning the air with each pass through the filter.

Ideal for capturing large particles, such as household dust and pollen, the 3M dust reduction filter has a 300 Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR). Additionally, it keeps your heating and air conditioning equipment working efficiently by removing dirt and reducing strain on the motor. It is recommended to change the filter every three months, but its effectiveness and lifespan may vary based on individual home conditions.

For almost 25 years, Filtrete filters have been providing cleaner air to millions of homes and have become leaders in residential air filtration. Developed by 3M engineers, Filtrete filter media is electrostatically charged to act like tiny magnets, attracting and capturing microscopic particles from the air. The technical team continues to develop innovative filtration solutions for air cleaning filters, room air purifiers, and water filtration products indoors.

Each box contains six 3M 300 MPR dust reduction filters, which outperform fiberglass, washable, and non-electrostatic filters. They are designed with exclusive Filtrete Brand 3-in-1 technology from 3M, which traps unwanted air particles while allowing cleaner air to flow through. The MPR 300 has a MERV 5 rating, and the higher the MPR, the more microparticles the filter will capture from the air. For optimal performance, it is recommended to change the filter at least every 90 days, as a dirty filter can slow down airflow and make the system work harder, wasting energy.

The Filtrete Smart app allows you to create a change countdown by scanning the barcode on the filter’s packaging and choosing a replacement countdown of 30, 60, or 90 days. When the time is up, you will be notified to change your filter. Made of polypropylene, these filters are for residential use only, creating a healthier home environment while saving on energy costs and maintenance.
