confused by size

Filters ordered are a different size than the 20x20x4 filters I've been using. Waiting for maintenance on system to see if tech thinks they will work. If not , I will return. I had no idea that filters rated as 20x20x4 would be different sizes.
You reduced the number of pleats by 40% that reduces the amount of surface that filters out the particles. Less surface to filter means it needs to be changed more. Looks to me you are more worried about making a buck than producing a quality product.
Hi - great product however the overall height of the filter is just under (<1/4") the Honeywell filter equivalent. This creates a gap at the top of the filter that allows unfiltered air to pass by. I had to place a filler to close the gap at the top. Future filters should have an extra flap or piece of material to fill that gap.
Filters don't appear to be as good quality as what I have purchased elsewhere in the past. Not as sturdy frame or as many pleats as what I have used before. Just started using them so not sure how well they work yet. Hpwever, they were less expensive so possibly got what I paid for.
I have an oddball dimension because my dimensions are accurate, versus the filters at the store which are usually larger than their actual label. Recently they stopped stocking that size and they don't even order them anymore. Which left me in a bind, I'm glad I found Fiilterby, I was surprised at how many dimensions were available, I will be going back 1st long as I have this furnace and I've already recommended them to a couple of people verbally.
Using the filters for a project, not our heater. They are helping us with smoke and allergies by super cleaning our indoor air. We are getting ready to order the filters for our heater next! See you again soon!
