Description

The Platinum costs a little more than our other filters, but it is refined both in looks and performance. It uses a mill-finished extruded aluminum frame to enclose an electrostatic media pack that features five layers of polypropylene and polyester. This filter has great dust holding capacity and efficiency at a reasonable pressure drop. You can't go wrong the the PLATINUM filter.
"These are the best filters available...One of the best purchases I have ever made," says Henry from Montgomery, Alabama. Well, thanks Henry! The minute you take the filter out of the box, you will realize it is special. Our PLATINUM filter has electrostatic properties and very low air resistance. The frame is made from heavy duty extruded aluminum and has 5 stages of media to trap dust and allergens. The PLATINUM filter costs a little more to produce but we are confident that, like Henry, you will be very satisfied with your purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your filters have MERV ratings?

Yes. You can find the MERV ratings for each filter in the Product Description section on the product page. You can also find the MERV rating in the comparison chart on the COMPARE FILTERS page.

Are permanent filters too restrictive?

Some early permanent filters were very restrictive and gave the product a bad reputation in some cases. Some HVAC contractors still tell their customers that all permanent filters are bad.

However, not all permanent filters are created equal. Like any type of filter, there is a balance between dust arrestance and air resistance. Our filters have very low air resistance.

Even our most restrictive filters are no more so than a good pleated disposable filter.

Do your filters require electricity?

No electricity is required. All of our filters are electrostatic. They have special polypropylene media layers that build a natural static charge as air passes through the filter. The charge is broken and the dust is released when the filter is cleaned.

How do I clean and maintain my permanent filter?

Cleaning is simple and easy. We recommend vacuuming the dust off the filter every month and then backwashing with water every 2-3 months. We also offer an ELECTROSTIC FILTER CLEANER to clean the filter more thoroughly.

What is the cost difference between permanent and disposable filters?

While permanent filters have a higher upfront cost, they save money over time. Most customers recoup their investment within 1 year.
