It would be nice if you did a follow up video measuring the particulate count comparing a few different filters. I remain very skeptical as filter media is usually folded into pleats which both increases the surface area and interrupts the path of the particles (look up brownian motion). I agree the filter appears to be dirty, but that does not tell us anything about it's performance.

That's because this dude is straight trolling! There is no way that filter way up in the air was that dirty in one month! It does appear by the look of the hallway that the vacuum cleaner runs through at least once every three years! 😂 He's not getting paid, my ass! If this comment disappears, 🤫you know damn skippy to stay away from this thing! If it was legit, there wouldn't need to be any shady ish! 🙄 🤔 if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it's a freaking DUCK! 😏

You have a year update? I ended buying two I rotate them every time I wash one.

[@LuxManorRealEstate]

I remain very pleased with my filter. I am looking forward to when they make a foreign wide filter for my other HVAC system.

Where can i buy this product.thanks

[@LuxManorRealEstate]

airthreds.com/ is where I bought mine. You can click "shop now" on the home page. They seem to have good customer service, too.

Saw a similar one on Amazon that claims to be equivalent to 36 regular filters. Too new in the market to confirm durability. Hope price is discounted for the first couple of years.

[@LuxManorRealEstate]

Great. Please note that I'm not at all tied to this company. I like the concept of washable filters. I continue to be happy with my filter and expect more options in time from different companies. We'll see if some are better. I'm happy to offer an impartial opinion. I noticed there were very few on this product when I made my video.

What is the MERV rating for this filter?

[@Duszka]

According to the instructions I got it's a merv 8.

What is a MERV rating

[@quantumsneak1773]

@@zaarteestdanaportiermorvan2453 its the size of the holes in the mesh. Merv 1 traps huge debris Merv 20 traps tiny debris The higher the Merv rating the more the airflow is reduced though Merv 14 is a good balance

[@alanjohnson2662]

@@quantumsneak1773 Merv 14 is restrictive. My technician says don't go above Merv 11. I bought Merv 8. It also depends on the characteristics of your blower. A blower with a DC motor can handle a higher Merv rating (still don't go above 11)

Troll! 😂
