Parts for High-Efficiency Air Cleaners
Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) is an international industry standard determining a numeric value of filter media efficiency based on its ability to capture and hold dirt and dust particles of specific sizes.
Most homeowners will find MERV 8 filtration to be highly effective.
Under standardized testing, Skuttle’s MERV 8 high-efficiency filter media will capture and hold 84.9% of airborne contaminants and pollutants ranging between 3.0 and 10.0 microns in size.
For homeowners who insist on the best possible dust control, Skuttle’s MERV 11 high-efficiency filter media stops particles in the 1.0 to 3.0 micron range, making it an excellent choice for very high indoor air quality.
For comparison, a single human hair is huge, ranging from 20.0 to 40.0 microns in size.
In addition to larger particles such as hair and pet dander, Skuttle’s MERV 8 high-efficiency filter media stops pollen, Spanish moss, dust mites, sanding dust, paint dust, textile fibers, carpet fibers, pudding mix, snuff, powdered milk, dusting aids, cement dust, hair spray, fabric protector, mold spores, and other similar size contaminants.
Skuttle’s MERV 11 high-efficiency filter media stops all of the above plus welding fumes, nebulizer drops, coal dust, auto emissions, lead dust, milled flour, and other similar size contaminants.
Depending on fan running time, size of the house, condition of HVAC unit, local air quality, family size and lifestyle, Skuttle filter media will perform reliably for up to a year.
Compare Skuttle High-Efficiency Air Cleaners to one-inch disposable panel filters that are MERV-rated between 1 and 4, if rated at all. Not only do they capture and hold less than 20% of airborne contaminants and pollutants ranging between 3.0 and 10.0 microns in size, most of these filters must be replaced every month or two.
