Filtrete MPR 2200 Merv 13 is an excellent filter for the home. It withstands holding dense debris and pollutants in the air while still delivering uncompromising air delivery and equipment protection. **Note to the wise, I wouldn't use over MERV 13, such as MERV 14 in home serting as it highly restrictive and may cause system failure - been there done that. Though thumbs upv- Filtrete is a must!!!
CFM Rating @ what FPM ??? / Causes drainage issues

How in the world are we supposed to work out the engineering on these with the CFM calculation posted? Filter has a range for Water Column and CFM but does not say at what FPM. Feels like that and MERV rating in general are obscured on purpose. Too much resistance for residential system, causing negative pressure to be satisfied in part by condensate line exit, causing water to be sucked back into unit and splatter everywhere but drain line.
For those who buy this and don't seem to understand how restrictive these filters can get (higher number=less airflow), here's what you need to know. For furnaces that are 20+ years old, only use UPTO a Merv 8 or MPR 1000 filter, that way the old (or new) blower motor won't be under too much strain and cause issues. If you're furnace is between 10-20 years old, these newer furnaces have much stronger motors and you can safely use UPTO a Merv 12 or MPR 1900 filter without them being too restrictive. Finally, just about anything made in the last 10 years should have no problem running UPTO a Merv 14 or MPR 2800 filter.
Something to keep in mind is that this is based on using the most common 16x25x1 filters, if you have enough room to fit a 16x25x4 filter (even if you have to remove the guide bars), then at that point you can safely do Merv 11 or MPR 1200 on a 20+ year old furnace, UPTO Merv 14 or MPR 2800 on 10-20 year old furnace, and UPTO Merv 16 on a furnace made in the last 10 years.
As for the very short review of this particular filter, I'd rate it 5/5 stars. MPR 2200 works perfectly on my DIY box fan air filter.
I need a 18x20x1 1900 filter but Filtrete doesn't make one, settled for a 1500 but not satisfied. Found an Aerostar filter and an evaluating it, but would prefer Filterate for good quality control and honest rating assessment.
