K&N reusable air filters
1 Attachment(s)
I took the plunge and bought two, infinitely reusable K&N home air filters. The cost was something like $130 but we'll worth it, IMo. They should pay for themselves in about 3 years. They're very heavy and seem well-made. No cardboard here.
The filter efficiency rating is 11, which is at the high end of the residential range. It's almost hospital-grade. The picture shows a comparison of the new K&N against the crappy Tru-Blu I was using before. It's pretty obvious which one will filter better. |
Awesome! Glad to hear it seems like a good product off right off. Hope to hear more good reports. I'd love to hear how easy they are to clean, how often they need to be replaced, etc.

"crappy Tru-Blu"
Not sure why you say that. They are decent filters and they don't cost much, 2 for $3, when on sale. They do a good job of protecting the A-coil from getting gunked up without adding additional static pressure(resistance to air flow) when changed out fairly often. |

If you feel the need to have super clean air, buy a HEPA filter and use it. That being said, I hope the super hotrod air filter works out for you. I sure hope it doesn't stress out the central HVAC system. I'm sure those things cost a pretty penny when they go south. |

It created so much pressure drop the 18" round, heavy gage steel return air duct collapsed. And that was on a 1.5 ton unit. I doubt if four times the original filter surface area would have been enough. |
I had a feeling that would be Jeff's opinion. There's an interesting chart here to look up exactly what your filter stops. I'm not convinced TruBlu was even catching most dog hair.

The fiberglass kind is worse. And even cheaper than 2/$3, I think
