BEST AIR FILTERS ANTI-MICROBIAL
MERV 8 FILTERS
Best Air antimicrobial poly pads are treated with a biocide that controls the growth of mold, mildew, algae and fungi on the filter and keeps the air you breathe fresh and clean. These air filters have a MERV 8 rating, which means they can catch microscopic sized particles, unlike most filters. THE ANTI-MICROBIAL
EFFECTIVENESS OF BEST FILTERS
MERV - (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value)
MERV ratings are used to rate the ability of an air cleaner filter to remove dust from the air as it passes through the filter. MERV is a standard used by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioner Engineers (ASHRAE) to measure the overall efficiency of a filter. The MERV scale ranges from 1 to 16, and measures a filter's ability to remove particles from .30 to 10 microns in size. To give you an idea of the scale of a micron, 100 microns is about the thickness of a piece of paper or a human hair. The high rating of Best air filters allow them not only remove more particles from the air, they also remove smaller particles. LEED recommends MERV 8 at a minimum. See the MERV Rating Chart below for more information about the difference in performance between filters with different MERV ratings. MERV5
-The filter will trap average particle size efficiency 3 - 10 Microns (20% - 34%)
-This filter will trap - (Pollen, Dust mites)
MERV 6
-The filter will trap average particle size efficiency 3 - 10 Microns- (35% - 49%)
-This filter will trap ( Standing Dust, Spray Paint Dust)
MERV 7
-The filter will trap average particle size efficiency 3 - 10 Microns- (50% - 69%)
- This filter will trap - (Carpet Fibers, Mold Spores, Hair Spray)
MERV 8
-The filter will trap average particle size efficiency 3 - 10 Microns (70% - 85%)
- This filter will trap - (Pollen, Dust mites, Standing Dust, Spray Paint Dust, Carpet Fibers,Mold Spores, Hair Spray, Fabric Protector, Cement dust, Pet Dander, Cigarette Smoke)
HOW DOES BEST FILTERS ANTIMICROBIAL FILTERS WORK??? Best Filters anti microbial poly pads are treated with a special biocide that prevents microorganisms from absorbing nutrients. This starvation process stuns the growth of the bacteria and inhibits their ability to reproduce. As a result, the microorganisms are guaranteed to die typically within several minutes up to 24 hours. ADVANTAGES OF USING BEST AIR FILTERS
Resist growth of bacteria, mold, mildew, algae, fungus, and significantly reduces airborne microorganisms. Help reduce the spread of microbes by inhibiting their growth on the media, maintain peak performance, and reduce indoor air microbiological particulate contamination. Less anti-microbial colonization with higher filtration efficiency and delayed deterioration of filter. Substantially reduce microbial growth and prevent microorganisms from growing through the filters into homes. Microorganisms that come in contact with our treated filters do not reproduce. Treated filters significantly reduce the biological contaminant load in your HVAC system for a full 2 months. The biocide will not evaporate, migrate from the filter, or leach into the environment and it remains active for the life of the filter. Best Air anti-microbial MERV 8 filters is environmentally friendly and presents no disposal concern. Take Control Of The Air In Your Environment - You'll Breathe the Difference!!!
