Understanding MERV Ratings
Understand MERV Ratings
Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV)
measures an air filter's ability to capture particles,
ranging from 1 to 16 with higher ratings providing
better filtration
MERV Rating Tiers
MERV 1-4 filters dust and pollen, MERV 7-12 ideal for
homes with allergies or pets, MERV 13-16 best for
hospitals trapping tiny particles like bacteria and
smoke
Factors for MERV Selection
Consider filter efficiency, airflow resistance, and
specific needs like allergies or pets to choose the
right MERV rating for your home
Recommended MERV Ratings
MERV 8-13 for general use, MERV 13+ for homes
with allergies/asthma, always check HVAC system
compatibility

Handle Installation
Carefully

17x21x1 MERV filter fits snugly in its
slot to prevent unfiltered air from
escaping or damage from a too-
tight fit.
