In order to work at its optimum level, the a/c or heating unit requires no restriction to air flow. You should choose a filter that has the least effect on airflow, but removes the most dust from the air. ACI’s electrostatic air filters allow the air conditioning or heating equipment to operate at maximum efficiency while at the same time removing a high percentage of  contaminants from the air. The idea is to strike a balance between the best filtration without restricting airflow to the point where it begins to have an impact on the operating efficiency of your furnace. The “ULTRA” has a MERV rating of 7 with a low resistance of .12.

How do electrostatic air filters work?

As air passes over the filter media, a static charge is created which attracts and holds the contaminants in the filter until it is washed.

The air you breathe contains many allergens and irritants such as dust, bacteria, mold spores, pollen, pet dander and smoke. Most of these particles are smaller than one micron in size. ACI’s washable air filters can dramatically reduce the number of particles passing through the unit, ductwork and your living space.

Cost Savings

It is recommended the air conditioning or furnace filter be changed every 3
months. Have you ever stopped to think how much money you spend yearly on disposable air filters?

The “ULTRA” washable furnace filter will save you hundreds of dollars by eliminating the cost of purchasing disposable air filters. It is possible to see a return on your investment within a year. The “ULTRA” Air Filter is on the only true “GREEN” filter on the market today.

What makes the “ULTRA” Air Filter the best electrostatic on the market today?

Competitor’s filters may only use 1 or 2 pieces of permanent media and the
media on the inside is polyester or foam. Polyester will eventually clog up and can not be cleaned and foam will deteriorate. The “ULTRA” custom air filters are constructed with the highest quality materials. Constructed with a heavy duty aluminum channel frame and true life time media – no polyester or foam. The “ULTRA” air filter is manufactured with Micro-Ck’r™ antimicrobial protection that is as permanent as the filter itself.

The antimicrobial protection is not a coating and is not sprayed on. It is a safe and effective antimicrobial agent processed directly into the electrostatic fiber media, rendering it as permanent as the filter itself. The University of Tennessee simulated a 500 consecutive washing test. The results indicated the antimicrobial properties to be as effective on the last wash as it was with the first washing. The additive acts to help control the growth of a number of undesirable organisms on the filter surface.

Antimicrobial protection has been used in many products where bacteria, mold, and fungi can be a problem.

Schools, nursing homes and hospitals realize the benefit of clean indoor air. Not only do their patients and students benefit; the employees are using less sick days and are more productive.

Allergy doctor’s recommend the “ULTRA” electrostatic furnace filters to their patients.

It is recommended to set your system’s fan switch to manual and adjust your thermostat accordingly. This will allow the air to be cleaned continuously with the small fan motor running, not your compressor.
