| With all the recent concern
with indoor air quality, many of us are still using the standard fiberglass
throwaway or the washable hog-hair type filters. These filters have an
efficiency rating of 7% to 10%. This means that approximately 90% of the
dirt, dust, pollen, and other air born pollutants will pass through the
filter and either become lodged in the evaporator coil (which over a period
of time will cause the air conditioner to run inefficiently, increasing
electrical consumption and decreasing capacity), or put the airborne
pollutants back into the airstream for us to breath. Breathing airborne
pollutants often triggers allergy, asthma, and hay fever symptoms.
Today we have a number of improved
alternative filtering systems which can dramatically increase efficiency,
reduce pollutants and improve the quality of the air you breathe in your
home or office.
These choices include:
- Pleated Paper Air filters with
efficiencies up to 50%.
- CAP100,
CAP100UV and
CA100UVP filters
with efficiencies up to 97%.
- CAP600UVP HEPA type Filters for maximum
filter efficiency.

efficiency air filters, call 1-800-722-3094. |
