Pleated Air Filter: 18 x 25 x 2", MERV 10, 55% Efficiency, Wire-Backed Pleated MPN:PRO10495

This pleated air filter with dimensions of 18 x 25 x 2 inches features a MERV rating of 10 and a 55% efficiency capable of trapping dust, allergens, pet dander and other particles that might pass through conventional fiberglass filters thus improving indoor air quality substantially. Made from electrostatically charged fibers, it can capture smaller particles as small as 1 micron which is vital when dealing with irritants like bacteria or viruses lurking within the duct system while offering extended service life, minimizing frequency of replacement and reducing overall cost making it environmentally friendly. Moreover, its wire backing prevents filter collapse providing consistent performance even under heavy loads helping maintain efficient operation of HVAC systems ensuring clean breathing air indoors leading to increased energy savings, better health and productivity levels. The MERV rating system used allows users select filters depending on their specific needs; this unit is ideal for occupied spaces requiring more filtration than a general application making it highly valuable asset in most commercial or residential settings dealing with indoor air quality issues.
