Pleated Air Filter: 18 x 20 x 1", MERV 8, 35% Efficiency, Wire-Backed Pleated MPN:PRO10413

Pleated air filters are an essential part of many HVAC systems since they help filter out dirt and debris from the air, improving indoor air quality while prolonging the life expectancy of other expensive components within the system. One popular type of pleated air filter is the 18 x 20 x 1, which features a wire-backed design that allows for efficient filtration and easy frame support. MERV 8 rating signifies its medium efficiency level meaning it can effectively capture larger particles such as pollen, dust mite debris, hair spray mist or tobacco smoke but not viruses, bacteria or odors with their compact size being ideal for limited space ductwork settings. These air filters offer high initial and low long-term costs making them a cost-effective solution compared to disposable panel or flat filter alternatives while providing 35% efficiency in dust holding capacity. In the end, they serve as practical solutions when air quality concerns arise within a residential or commercial setting due to their durability and ability to effectively clean the surrounding environment for people sensitive to allergens or asthma sufferers alike.
