When it comes to air filters, the MERV 11 discount filter is an excellent choice for those looking for a moderate level of filtration. This type of filter is designed to effectively remove more than 85 percent of particles between 3 and 10 microns from the air that passes through it. Additionally, it will capture between 64 and 79.9 percent of particles that measure between 1 and 3 microns. The performance of this discount filter is based on the MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating, which is an international industry standard.
Filters with a higher rating demonstrate the ability to capture a higher proportion of particles from circulating air. Discount filters are tested based on how efficiently they capture particles that measure between 3 and 10 microns. The MERV 11 discount filters are made with Kimberly Clark filter materials, which are not from the Kimberly Clark brand, arranged in folds that are perfectly mounted inside a 30-gauge galvanized metal frame.It's essential to replace filters regularly, as the older an air filter is, the less bacteria and dirt it will remove from the air, resulting in worse indoor air quality and higher energy costs. We have classifications ranging from MERV 8 to MERV 13, which cover the efficiency that most households need.
MERV 11 discount filters provide a moderate amount of filtration, being in the mid-range of filter efficiency. MERV ratings range from 1 to 20; the higher the number, the higher the percentage of contaminants blocked by the filter. While a higher rating may mean it's a better filter for you, it's important to consider your specific needs when selecting an air filter. The cost of a MERV 11 discount filter depends on several factors such as size, brand, and type. Generally speaking, these filters are relatively inexpensive and can range anywhere from $10 to $50 depending on size and brand. It's important to note that these filters should be replaced every three months or so in order to maintain optimal performance.
