Overview
The BestAir PRO MERV 11 Whole House Media
Elements are designed to replace existing media
elements used in SpaceGuard® AprilAire® And
Lennox® Brand Residential Whole House Media Air
Cleaners.
IMPROVED DESIGN
When installing the spacers into the media element,
the media pack must have even pleat separation for
proper finger insertion. This is essential to not only
make installation easier, but to also prevent tears
and pinholes in the media from forcing the fingers
into an uneven area.
To create even separation, OEM filters drill holes
in the media and insert a rope or string to assist in
expanding the media pack. Air flow operates on the
same principles as water and takes the least path of
resistance. Holes in the media pack instantly create
breach points for unfiltered air to pass through the
filter.
To improve on this design, the BestAir PRO MERV
11 Whole House Media Elements use a glue bead
separator located on the outer perimeter of each
pleat.
HIGH EFFICIENCY
In addition to the improved design, the filtration
efficiency has also been improved. The MERV 11
media element is the first ASHRAE 52.2 rated MERV
filter to remove more than 65% of particles from 1 to
3 microns in size.
MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY
Filtration medias installed for prolonged periods of
time have been shown to have a lower filtration efficiency over time if a static electric charge has been
applied to the media. The BestAir PRO MERV 11 media
elements use mechanical filtration to maintain their
efficiency throughout the life of the filter.
OEM Brand Media Element
The filter on the left is an actual photo of an OEM filter. To create equal spacing for pleat
finger replacement, holes are drilled in the media for the rope to enter. The manufacturing of
these holes leaves loose fibers which migrate downstream during operation. Since air takes
the least path of resistance, unfiltered air passes through these holes contaminating the HVAC
system and occupants.
BestAir PRO MERV 11 Media Element
BestAir PRO recognized the flaws of OEM models and eliminated the need for holes by
building a one-of-a-kind, state of the art manufacturing line. During the pleating process a glue
bead is applied to the outer edge of each pleat on the outer perimeter. This glue bead creates
a stable media pack when expanded with clean pleat spacing for finger replacement. The use
of an adhesive completely eliminates any of the operating issues associated with drilled media
packs.
