What is the MERV rating of this filter? John

I am not sure what is the MERV rating. I only know I bought MERV 10. Is 10 rating?

The MERV rating tells you the amount of dust and other contaminants the filter removes from the air. The ratings go from 0 to 20 with the higher number taking out a higher percentage. MERV 10 takes out about 50% of the dust

The box and filter both have a sticker on them that says MERV 10. The box says there is a MERV 13 option that is available.

Fred I wish I could help you. I have had my kit for 12 months now , just replaced the filter after 12 months. It was dirty but not bad. We have 2 cats and 2800 sq. feet of living space, a 22 year old standard furnace 80% eff. I am happy with the up grade. Can't really comment on Merv and strain on furnace.

I ordered the Merv11 and it was the correct size and labeled Merv11 on the filter.

The MERV scale identifies the particle size that can be filtered. The higher the number, the smaller the particles that are filtered (as in, a MERV 11 filter traps smaller particles). That seems like it would be the better filter, BUT it usually isn't for a home system, because it makes the a/c and furnace work harder to pull the air through the filter. Your manual will tell you what is best for your system. I have asthma and cats but find that the MERV 8 is indeed the best one to use for my system for peak efficiency and filtration. Hope that helps!

Hi My filter was a MFM 15 and it works great can't even tell the difference. I would ask the seller ans there is a live chat and they will tell you where to purchase it.

I obtained the following information at furnacefiltercare.com, "The BioAir 5-Stage filter...doesn't have a MER V rating...but if you compare the Arrestance rating which is over 95%, to media type air filters with similar Arrestance ratings, it is probably in the range of a MER V 6 to 9 filter." Hope this helps.

I have no idea. I guess it would depend on the composition of the filter that you have. This is good stuff.

Your Model number is for the cabinet. All you need to know is that the filter it takes is is a 20x25x5!After that, you need to chose a MERV rating. Most people can get by just fine with a MERV 10. But if you get a MERV 16 it will help with allergies and it will catch more and even smaller particles

I purchased this filter a while ago and discarded the packaging. There is no such rating anywhere on the filter itself. However, I do have a telephone no. on the label on the filter: www.acfilterusa.com (786) 370-5833. Mine is Model # ES94 W15.625 L19.62. I hope that helps. Sorry I didn't have what you needed.

I did not see a HEPA rating anywhere on the package, but the fact that it can be rinsed clean over and over should make it a much more effective filter. It is quite sturdy and I believe it will last for many rinsings. It also dries quickly so you don't have to wait days to use it again, although if you have a large home and want to rinse it between floors or rooms buying two might be the ticket.

Sorry, I can't help with this one. However, after researching the MERV ratings, I can tell you that a MERV 16 is delivering "Clean Room" quality air.

The box says MERK 8 but there is nothing written on the filters except the size.

Hi Karen: The Merv 16 is intended for standard filter openings measuring 16inX25inX5in. I just measured what you have referred to as the height of the Merv 16. It measures around 4-3/8 in. An opening of 4-3/4 in would be around 3/8 of an inch larger than the Merv 16. As such, the Merv 16 should fit the filter opening of your AC. I would try to install the filter carefully because you would not have too much space to play with. Hope this helps.

The MERV rating is 11. The MPR rating is 1100. An MPR range of 1000 to 1500 is within the 11 MERV rating. I found this information on the Filtrete website.

MERV Rating is a good way to help judge the effectiveness of the filter. MERV means Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value which was developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioner Engineers - ASHRAE. MERV values vary from 1 to 16. The higher the MERV value is the value the more efficient the filter will be in trapping airborne particles. Another consideration is air flow through the your HVAC system. Leaving a dirty air filter in place or using a filter that is too restrictive may result in low air flow and possibly cause the system to malfunction.

Amazon is mistaken. I do not own this filter so I cannot answer your question.
