The Best Filter for You and Your Family
The Practical Pleat Filter is probably one the best filters on the market today. It provides a large surface capacity, more efficient than a standard 1” extended surface pleated filter, and a foam gasket to prevent air bypass.
A filter that doesn’t self-seal allows pollutants to be pulled around the filter (filter bypass) and into your ventilation system. Therefore escaping the filtering process. The particles accumulate and can allow mold, mildew and other biological contaminants to grow in your furnace or air handler. The self-sealing gasket helps prevent this.
The Practical Pleat is 30 times more efficient than a standard 1” pleated filter at capturing small contaminants. These filters are designed to protect your heating and cooling system as much as the air you breathe.
In general the more efficient a filter is at collecting contaminants the greater the resistance to air flow. The Practical Pleat has overcome this problem by increasing surface capacity. The Practical Pleats surface capacity is 433% greater than a 1” pleated filter and in the process reduced air resistance by 41%. The reduction in air resistance improves airflow, helps reduce energy consumption, increases air circulation, decreases maintenance, and ultimately filters life. A standard 1” filter needs changing every 30-60 days during use. The Practical Pleat will last 6-12 months depending on the conditions in your home or office.
You may be asking how the Practical Pleat Filter does this. Well they made the filter 5” deep. The amazing thing is it will fit in your existing return air grille like a 1” filter does recessing into your return air opening. So, there isn’t a need for a filter housing or any retrofitting. The only requirement is that your return opening is deep enough for the filter to recess into it. If your return air isn’t deep enough there is a 2” Practical Pleat. The 2” Practical Pleat Filter last 3-4 months depending on the conditions in your home. These filter are the best choice for you or your family. If you have allergies or asthma it is an ideal choice.
