View Detailed InstructionsThe 24x30x1 Aerostar fits a nominal 24x30x1 return at 23 7/8" x 29 7/8" x 3/4" actual. Larger-residential and small-commercial returns in this size show up on furnaces serving 2,500-plus square foot homes and on some compact commercial air handlers. MERV 8 covers baseline residential filtration: dust, lint, pollen. MERV 11 captures pet dander, smoke residue, and most common household allergens. MERV 13 handles fine particulates including bacteria, virus carriers, and wildfire smoke - the grade to pick if anyone in the household has respiratory issues or if the home sits in a smoke-affected region. Pleated synthetic media with an electrostatic charge built into the fibers handles the actual filtration. The pleats provide several times the surface area of a flat fiberglass filter at the same nominal size, which is what gets you the 60-to-90-day service interval under typical conditions. The electrostatic charge catches sub-micron particles where mechanical filtration alone runs out of options. Manufactured in the USA by Con-Air Industries, Orlando, Florida. Cardboard frame, reinforced to hold shape under blower suction. MERV 13 in this depth wants a 30-to-60-day change interval because higher filtration grades reach their pressure-drop limit faster than lower MERV options.
Pleated MERV 8 Media
Comparable to MPR 600 and FPR 5
Designed for Superior Filtration Efficiency
Made with electrostatically charged synthetic material that draws and captures allergens between 3 - 10 microns, including lint, dust mites, mold spores, pollen, pet dander, and dust.
Improve Indoor Air Quality
Protect your family and loved ones with clean indoor air quality at home. Aerostar filters are a simple and cost effective step towards a healthier home environment, free of airborne allergens and particles that can trigger various allergy and asthma symptoms.
Improve Efficiency and Reduce Cost
An Aerostar furnace air filter helps keep your HVAC unit working efficiently by removing dirt and reducing strain on the motor. When your unit runs properly, it consumes less energy, requires less maintenance and will have a longer life. These factors will have an impact on your utility bill and maintenance costs. It is recommended that you change the filter every 60 to 90 days during normal times of year but increase frequency to 30 days during peak summer and winter months when your unit is working the hardest.

About MERV, MPR and FPR Rating
The three rating systems were created by different organizations. MERV is the domestic and international Industry Standard rating system established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers. The other two rating systems were created by 3M and The Home Depot, but all are rating the same filter.
MERV Rating (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value): As you have already learned, the MERV Rating is the primary rating system used in the industry, both domestically and internationally. Established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers, MERV rates a filter’s ability to capture and hold particles and pollutants.
MPR (Micro-Particle Performance Rating): MPR Rating is a rating system developed by 3M. It rates the manufacturer’s Filtrete product line and their ability to capture airborne particles smaller than 1 micron.
FPR (Filter Performance Rating): FPR Rating is a rating system developed by The Home Depot for brands sold through their stores, including Honeywell. It utilizes a color code and number scale (4 to 10) that closely resembles the MERV rating.
MERV ratings let you know the efficiency and level of filtration that an air filter can handle under normal circumstances. The higher the MERV rating, the finer the particles are that are filtered our of the air in your home. Many air filter retailers use MERV or a similar rating to rate their air filters.

"This is our second order from Factory Direct and we have been very please with the filters. If i had to say anything negative about it, it would be the shipping as some of the filters were bent which can cause problems with the air filter working as it should. All in all we are very pleased and will order from them again."
