About This Product

Air-Care electrostatic, permanent, washable air filters are 10 times more efficient than a standard disposable filter. Air-Care Electrostatic air filters clean the air by using static electricity, a safe, naturally occurring phenomenon. When used correctly, they filter up to 94% of air particles down to 1 micron. Care is easy! Simply wash the filter every 1-3 months and put it back in place. Set recurring reminders to clean your filter by registering your filter using the QR code on the package or logging onto our site. The sturdy, galvanized steel frame, will not rust and will stand the test of time. By switching to a permanent electrostatic filter, the air inside your home will be cleaner and fresher and you will be helping to reduce landfill waste. Gain maximum effieciency by cleaning your filter with C.E.F Electrostatic Cleaner.

Highlights

  • Air-Care filters contain an EPA registered anti-microbial material to inhibit mold and bacteria growth on the air filter surface
  • Cleans your air using static electricity whereby an electrostatic charge is generated by air flowing through a maze of static prone fibers which attract airborne particles , holding them by static charge until released by washing
  • Filters pollen, dust, pet dander, bacteria, smoke, mold spores, household dust, lint, smog particles, candle and more
  • No harmful ozone emission
  • Use Air-Care's proprietary C.E.F Electrostatic Air filter Cleaner(Model SACH 0062) and U.O.K. Ultra Odor Kill Spray(Model SACH0074) to clean the filter
  • Proudly Made in the USA
  • Eco- Friendly alternative to standard disposable filters

          Is your Filter Cleaner spray environmentally safe? Will it affect grass or other plants? During the winter, the filter would get washed indoors in a washtub. Is your cleaner safe for plastic washtubs?

                  Not true to size
                  Installed and as soon as the A/C kicked off it began making a loud noise. Initially it took me a bit to figure out what was causing the noise. Quickly I figure out it was the filter. If you look at the picture the size says one thing and dimensions are another. Pretty disappointing as I was very excited to have it arrive, only to find out it wasnt true to size.

                    The size did not fit even though the measurements were accurate. I had to use a cardboard fitting.The air quality in my house appears to be worse. Sneezing and itchy eyes.
