AIR SCRUBBER BY AERUS

The Air Scrubber by Aerus plugs directly into your duct system, and actively cleans the air. Filters are passive cleaners, meaning the air has to go through them to be cleaned. The Air Scrubber uses ActivePure® Technology that sends scrubbing particles out into the air, cleaning it up to 99%.

APRILAIRE FILTERS

Air filters are a standard in HVAC systems. You can slide it into your HVAC system and then replace it once every few months. This is important to make sure you are doing the minimum to keep the air clean, while also helping protect your HVAC system from these particles. The issue is, not every filter is great at catching smaller particles. That's why we recommend some of the higher-end filters, particularly from Aprilaire.

Here we have listed a few of their best filters. Usually, filters last for a few months, but these last longer, and work even better.

WHAT IS MERV RATING?

You can see in the chart above, air filters have MERV ratings. Air filters range from 1-16 in MERV ratings. This is the measure of how efficient the filter is. The higher the rating, the smaller the particles your filter can catch. Aprilaire has designed different filters for different applications, ranging from 1-16.

According to the EPA, Minimum Efficiency Reporting Values (MERVs), report a filter’s ability to capture larger particles between 0.3 and 10 microns (µm).

This value is helpful in comparing the performance of different filters
The rating is derived from a test method developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) [see www.ashrae.org].

As you can see, these ratings become a factor when it comes to what you want to install in your home, and what you will likely pay for it. The higher the MERV rating, the better the filter!

MERV Rating	Averag Particles Size Efficiency in Microns
1-4	3.0 - 10.0 less than 20%
6	3.0 - 10.0 49.9%
8	3.0 - 10.0 84.9%
10	1.0 - 3.0 50% - 64.9%, 3.0 - 10.0 90% or greater
12	1.0 - 3.0 80% - 89.9%, 3.0 - 10.0 90% or greater
14	0.3 - 1.075% - 84%, 1.0 - 3.0 90% or greater
16	0.3 - 1.075% or greater
