At Advanced Filtration Concepts, we understand the importance of choosing the right filter for your needs. With various options available, it’s essential to know which filter will best suit your requirements. In this post, we will rank our pre-filters into three categories: Good, Better, and Best, to help you make an informed decision.
Good: Basic Pleated Filter
The Basic Pleated Filter is our entry-level option. Here are its key features:
- Surface Area: 18 square feet
- Resistance: 0.27 in. W.G.
- MERV: 10
The Basic Pleated Filter has the smallest surface area among our options, which means it will fill up faster due to less media. Its higher resistance rating of 0.27 correlates with this smaller surface area, making it an ideal choice for less demanding applications where frequent replacement is acceptable.
Better: Reverse Rigid Pocket Air Filter
Stepping up, we have the Reverse Rigid Pocket Air Filter. Here’s what it offers:
- Surface Area: 24 square feet
- Resistance: 0.16 in. W.G.
- MERV: 8
This filter provides a significantly larger surface area compared to the Basic Pleated Filter, resulting in lower resistance and longer-lasting initial performance. The lower resistance of 0.16 means better airflow and efficiency, making it a more suitable option for environments that require moderate filter changes.
Best: Rigid Pocket Filter
Our top-tier option is the Rigid Pocket Filter. Key specifications include:
- Surface Area: 48 square feet
- Resistance: 0.29 in. W.G.
- MERV: 11
The Rigid Pocket Filter boasts the largest surface area among our options, allowing it to handle more contaminants before needing replacement. Despite having a resistance of 0.29, the larger surface area ensures that this resistance remains manageable for a longer period. This filter is ideal for high-demand environments where longer intervals between filter changes are desired.
Premium Choice: Plastic Framed Mini Pleated Filter
For those looking for the highest performance, we offer the Mini Pleated Filter:
- Surface Area: 52 square feet
- Resistance: 0.29 in. W.G.
- MERV: 12
The Mini Pleated Filter combines a large surface area with a resistance of 0.29, ensuring that its initial resistance lasts longer than other options. This makes it the best choice for environments where maximum efficiency and longevity are paramount.
