Scott the Filter Man says: "This is a filter I wish more people knew about. It can be used as a prefilter in many applications, such as electronic air cleaners. It also fits inside the slots above the coils on a mobile home HVAC unit. The filters that generally come with mobile home units are made from aluminum mesh. Those are good for catching small animals but if you want to trap dust and allergens, you need an upgraded electrostatic filter made from washable polypropylene. This filter will improve your indoor air quality and also protect the coils on your ac unit much better."
Are you looking to replace those flimsy, fragile aluminum mesh filters that came with your Mobile Home Furnace or Electronic Air Cleaner (EAC)? Have they become hopelessly clogged with dust? Or maybe they just fell apart. Well, we have the solution. Upgrade to our permanent, washable pre-filters. The best part is they are electrostatic and made from polypropylene instead of aluminum mesh (or mush). All of our filters are 1/4 inch thick and available in custom sizes. They are made to slide into the groove in front of the metal plates on your EAC or to go over the A-Coil on your mobile home furnace (see pictures).
Independent testing shows that using a higher efficiency, washable, electrostatic pre-filter will significantly enhance the working efficiency of your Electronic Air Cleaner without affecting the air flow requirements. In addition, your air cleaner is able to perform more effectively for longer periods before needing cleaning.
Consider adding a set of 4 activated carbon after-filters to your order. These after-filters are not washable and should be changed every 4-6 months when the carbon reaches it's odor trapping saturation point. The after-filters come in 4 packs. Each 4 pack should last 18-24 months. These filters are effective at removing airborne odors and capturing ash "brush-off" from the EAC plates or furnace coil.
