good filter but is it a HEPA?
on July 7, 2023
Posted by: Robin H.
I went looking for a HEPA rated filter and saw listings for Filterbuy. Having used your filter products previously, I thought I'd found the perfect answer. But upon receiving the filter, it didn't show a HEPA rating. Now, I'm not sure that size of HEPA filter is available with your company. Other than that, all other factors, Filterbuy is an excellent company.
My filter case is for Aprilaire. Anyone with that type knows that the pleated media with plastic end caps is slightly messy and troublesome to install and remove. Instead, the prefabricated filter media is easier to install and remove.
The only issue i have is when i was buying the filtrete filters it was a perfect fit. When i use the filterbuy filters its about a half inch too small. So i have to make filler strips to keep my furnace from sucking in dirt.
It looks like very little attention is made to spacing the pleats evenly throughout the filter. I, in fact, wonder if Filterbuy sent me factory seconds or "irregular" filters. The gaps from point to point on the pleats varied from tight to 1.5 inches. They were glued in that position. Is that your normal quality? I spent several minutes trying to straighten them out, only somewhat successful. Please explain this to me.
