Filtration Group 12078 Electrostatic Metal Frame Air Filter, Polypropylene Media, White, 20" Height x 20" Width x 1" Depth (Case of 1)

Description

The Filtration Group's Electrostatic air filters operate on a simple principle of static electricity - similar to the way lint and hair are attracted to a comb when it's rubbed against a sweater. No electrical connection is required to remove up to 90% by weight of pollen, dust, mold, pet dander and other indoor pollutants. The Electrostatic filter is extremely durable, made with a steel frame that allows for easy handling and a longer service life. Four layers of polypropylene media have an inherent electrostatic charge, which is enhanced by the movement of air through and across each layer. Particles in the air stream become polarized and are drawn to the media, similar to the way metal is drawn to a permanent magnet. those particles eventually break off and are stored in the polyester collector cell until removed by a water rinse. the use of soaps is not recommended as these products can leave a residue which can dampen the electrostatic effect of the filter. These electrostatic air filters offer low resistance to air flow making them an excellent replacement for lower efficency filters. They are easy to use, maintain and since they do not requre an electrical hook-up, these filters will not generate any ozone. No system modification is required during the installation of these air filters.
