Whats the difference between fiberglass filters and Filtrete filters?
Top Fiberglass filters were originally developed to protect your furnace and/or air conditioning system’s blower motor and equipment. They were not intended to improve your indoor air quality. Filtrete filters can do both! Filtrete filters help improve your indoor air by attracting and capturing allergy-aggravating micro particles, as well as helping keep your furnace equipment clean. As the air in your home is continually recirculated through the filter, it gets cleaner and cleaner. What’s the difference between washable filters that can be reused and Filtrete filters? Top Surprisingly, as the chart below shows, expensive washable filters are more similar to fiberglass filters in their ability to capture micro particles. These are typically designed to be washed out monthly and reused. Test show that this type of filter is not very effective at capturing the smaller, respirable particles from the air. Respirable particles are those that are inhaled into the lungs and can cause respira
