About 16x30x2 Aerostar Air Filter

Actual Size: 15 3/4"x29 3/4"x1 3/4" Product: P80S.021630-6 8 Fights: Dust & Pollen

A 2-inch depth in a 16x30 nominal return buys you considerably longer service life than the 1-inch equivalent, plus lower pressure drop on the blower. This 16x30x2 Aerostar comes in at 15 1/2" x 29 1/2" x 1 3/4" actual. Designed for systems originally specified for a 2-inch slot, which includes a lot of older residential furnaces and some light commercial air handlers. MERV 8 covers baseline household use. MERV 11 handles pet dander and most allergen concerns. MERV 13 captures fine particulates: smoke, bacteria, virus-carrying droplets. The deeper pleat depth makes higher MERV grades more practical because face pressure drops as filter depth increases - MERV 13 in a 2-inch is meaningfully easier on your system than MERV 13 in a 1-inch. Pleated synthetic electrostatic media, USA-made by Con-Air Industries in Orlando, Florida. Frame is reinforced cardboard. Plan on 4 to 6 months between changes for MERV 8 and 11 under normal residential conditions, 2 to 4 months for MERV 13. Pets, active cooking, or wildfire smoke shorten those intervals regardless of grade. If you've been running 1-inch filters in a slot built for 2-inch, this filter will outlast them by roughly a factor of two.

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.

What is a 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.

Still Waiting

"I ordered a case of filters on February 24th. I inquired about their status on Friday March 7th. I checked the spot racking number last night, March 9th. UPS says they do not have the package. You may get another star hen I get my filters."

There is a problem

"I’m glad you asked, because I have not yet even been able to determine that the filters I ordered have been shipped! So I won’t give you a rating, since I don’t have the filters, and I would really appreciate you telling me when they will finally ship! Thank you."
