The higher the MERV rating; the better the filter can filter out all airborne particulates. Since we are constantly trying to improve indoor air quality; it only makes sense that we would offer air conditioner filter MERV 13. 20x20x2 MERV 13 filters are right on the cusp of being classified as �medium efficiency MERV pleated air filters� and �high efficiency MERV pleated air filters.� Filters that have received a rating of MERV 7-13 are about as effective as true HEPA filters at controlling a majority of airborne particles. This is able to happen more effectively as the filter gets dirty. However; MERV ratings of 13-16 are able to remove and capture smaller particle sizes even before the filter starts to become dirty. With the first air exchange; MERV 13 filters have over a 75% efficiency of removing airborne particulates that are between 0.3u and 1.0u in size. When the average particle size is 1.0u to 3.0U; the filters efficiency jumps to over 90%! We are very proud that we offer these great 20x20x2 MERV 13 filters now for homes. Until recently; MERV 13 air filters were commonly found in: communication centers; telephone terminal rooms; biological laboratories; biomedical laboratories; chemistry laboratories; and physics laboratories. This means the type of filter should be selected based on the specific building location; occupancy; air quality issues and type and operation of the HVAC system. However; it is reasonable to specify at least MERV 13 filters to maintain good indoor air quality in common types of spaces. 20 x 20 x 2 MERV 13 filters are pleated; electrostatically charged filters. The electrostatic charge of the filters works as a magnet and draw airborne particles to them. A lot of schools are starting to implement MERV 13 electrostatic air filters to help combat children�s respiratory infections and the effects of pollutants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"shirasekagu.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46785247936709,"sku":"shirasekagu.com502680","price":53.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8243\/1429\/files\/98A2F377-0AFE-7A48-968A-D8293FE700B5.webp?v=1787365946","url":"https:\/\/www.shirasekagu.com\/products\/20x20x2-merv-13-pleated-air-filter-6pk-19-5x19-5x1-75-actual-size","provider":"shirasekagu.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
