• What is the Air-T-Rex™ Universal filter?

  The Air-T-Rex™ Universal is a Merv 11 filter. This means it will catch 95% of particles as small as 3-micron plus 75% of one-micron particles. This is considered hospital laboratory-grade filtration. To achieve this superior level of filtration, the Air-T-Rex™ works differently than common pleated filters. Thanks to its ‘Depth-Loading’ technology, the Air-T-Rex outperforms traditional pleated filters It also offers a longer service life.

• What is the difference between the Air-T-Rex™ Universal filter and a standard pleated filter?

  THE REVOLUTIONARY "DEPTH LOADING" AIR-T-REX™ UNIVERSAL
  The Air-T-Rex™ Depth-Loading filter is NOT easily clogged because particles penetrate deeper into its loosely weaved filter media. They become prisoner of a polymeric adhesive trap.
  
  HOW A STANDARD PLEATED FILTER BECOMES CLOGGED
  Tightly woven air filters are easily clogged. This means less ventilation, more dust on your furniture, an increase in energy costs and higher replacement costs.

• How does the Air-T-Rex™ Universal filter clean air?

  The secret: Three levels of defence
  Yes, the Air-T-Rex™ has three filtration levels. Unlike standard filters that are enclosed in a rigid cardboard frame, the filtering material of the Air-T-Rex™ is thermally fused around a galvanized wire ring.
  
  Bypass unfiltered air resolved: This is a huge undetected and costly problem in most HVAC systems. Cardboard-framed filters do not seal at the perimeter thus allowing unfiltered air through. The Air-T-Rex™ is self-sealing. For a perfect seal around the perimeter, the filtering material has a flexible fringe of about one inch that exceeds the galvanized steel frame.

• How does the Ait-T-Rex™ Universal filter work?

  Instead of reducing the space between the filter fibres, the Air-T-Rex™ filter uses different medias arranged from coarse to fine to allow the filter to capture the largest particles on the upstream side and finer particles as the air moves through the filter media. In addition it is coated with a unique polymeric adhesive. When a micro-particle touches a fibre, it sticks. This way, air passes easily even if the filter is saturated with dust.
