NaturalAire Electrostatic Washable Air Filters

NaturalAire Electrostatic Washable Air Filters are a great choice for home filtration for many reasons. We feel that the best reason is the fact that NaturalAire Electrostatic Washable Air Filters don't need to be thrown out as you can wash them monthly to keep them clean. With disposable filters you have to throw them away, then they end up in landfills. Think about how many filters Americans go through a year! There are many benefits to these filters but one downfall is they don't pull as many particles out of the air as some of the high end pleated filters do. When selecting your filters be sure to find the filter that best suits your needs.

About the NaturalAire Electrostatic Washable Air Filters:
Passive Electrostatic. The NaturalAire Electrostatic is a passive electrostatic air filter. It uses a special combination of media to electrostatically charge airborne particles and pull them from the airstream. But it does not rely on external power supply to create that attraction. Instead, the friction of air passing over the special synthetic filter components causes the electrostatic attraction to occur naturally.
Because no external power supply is needed, the NaturalAire Electrostatic is a fast, easy and economical upgrade from ordinary spun glass filters. It is available in all of the most common face sizes, 1” depth and 2” depth, as well as almost any “special” size.

Use it for years! Wash this unique filter out just once a month, let it dry and re-install. You can use it over and over again. It has a 5 year limited warranty.

Types of Furnace Filters

Disposable fiberglass filters are the least expensive and also the least effective, designed to block only large dust and dirt particles to protect your furnace. Smaller particles, like pollen and mold, pass right through.

Washable electrostatic filters have a static charge that attracts dust, dirt and other matter. These filters are slightly more effective than disposable, but still block only 15 to 20 percent of airborne particles.

Pleated filters use a much denser mesh material to trap particles. The pleats increase the surface area, eliminating large allergens like pollen and mold most are 35 to 50 percent efficient. We recommend the use of Pleated Filters due to their affordable pricing and wide array of options.

Electronic air filters use electrodes to create an ionized electrical field that magnetizes pollutant particles and collects them on the filter material. An electronic unit can eliminate virtually all pollen and mold spores, up to 94 percent of smaller particles, and even up to 80 percent of airborne viruses.

How often do I need to change my furnace filter?

Recommendations vary based on a number of factors: the type of filter that you use, how many pets you have, whether anyone in your home has allergies, etc. If you use disposable fiberglass panel or electrostatic panel filters, you should change them anywhere from once a month to once every three months. Pleated filters generally last 3 months.Filters are relatively inexpensive and easy to change, so there is little reason to wait. If you don't change or clean your filter often enough the filter can get clogged with dust and other airborne particles, forcing your furnace to work harder to maintain airflow. This will reduce your furnace's efficiency and can cause damage.
