Poly Shield XI 3-Ply MERV 11 Panel & Links
Rated at 500 FPM (2000 CFM) with an initial static pressure drop of .38” w.g. comparable to pleated filters only without all their costly flaws.
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOU PURCHASE PLEATED FILTERS FROM BECAUSE ALL FILTER COMPANIES PURCHASE THE MATERIALS NEEDED FOR THEIR PRODUCTS IN BULK FROM THE SAME SOURCES, USUALLY FROM THE LOWEST BIDDER, AND SIMPLY ASSEMBLE FILTERS. THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL ON THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE OF AN AIR FILTER; THE MEDIA
These products and their technology were first introduced into the industry more than 20 years ago. Throughout the years nothing about them has changed even though our environment has. Using these products increases your operation costs in many key areas and compromise your indoor air quality
IT’S NOT JUST THE MATERIALS USED FOR THEIR ASSEMBLY, IT’S THE WAY THEY’RE DESIGNED
They’re vulnerable to high air volume often collapsing shortly after installation exposing critical mechanical equipment to unfiltered air. They are notorious for presenting significant gaps and air bypass. Both around or between filters bypass realistically turns a MERV 8 filter to a MERV 6 filter. They’re vulnerable to moisture, an element commonly found within all HVAC systems. They are also susceptible to molds and spores.CONTAMINATION - A scenario which significantly increases material, labor, disposal and energy costs.
If the initial cost of pleated filters would reflect the costs associated with having to deal with system contamination, the cost of a $3 filter is actually significantly higher. Factor in increased energy usage and clean up costs and you’ll find the actual cost to be immeasurable-
