The Filtrete Premium Allergen, Bacteria & Virus air filter is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to improve indoor air quality by capturing microscopic particles, including bacteria, viruses, and common allergens. Featuring advanced MERV 13 and MPR 1900 technology, these filters are designed for high-efficiency operation in residential HVAC systems; however, because of their high filtration capability, they may restrict airflow more than lower-rated filters, requiring regular monitoring of your system's performance.

MERV 13 indicates high efficiency in capturing small particles, while MPR 1900 is Filtrete's internal rating system signifying superior performance in trapping allergens, bacteria, and virus-carrying particles.
No, these filters are designed for single use only and must be discarded after their 3-month lifespan.
While effective at trapping particulates, this specific model is primarily designed for allergens, bacteria, and viruses. For heavy odor control, you may need a filter specifically containing activated carbon.
There is an arrow printed on the side of the filter frame. This arrow must point in the direction of the airflow, which is toward your furnace or HVAC unit's blower.
No, Filtrete offers a variety of sizes. Always check your existing filter size or your HVAC unit's manual to ensure the correct fit.
The filter may be too restrictive for your system's blower. Check that all return vents are unobstructed and consider if a lower MPR rating is required for your specific unit.
The filter may have reached its capacity before the 90-day mark. Replace the filter and inspect for any air leaks around the filter housing.
To install, first turn off your heating or cooling system at the thermostat. Locate the filter slot, usually found behind the return air grille or near the air handler. Remove the old filter, noting the arrow on the frame indicating the direction of airflow—ensure your new Filtrete filter is inserted with the same orientation toward the blower motor. Slide the filter into place and secure any access panels. For optimal results, mark the installation date on the edge of the filter frame and set a calendar reminder to replace it every 90 days. Always dispose of used filters in a sealed bag to prevent trapped dust and debris from being released during disposal.
