 Generalaire HEPA 500 Universal use of HEPA filtration has been hindered because the high pressure needed to force air through a HEPA in unavailable from your forced air furnace fan. The power requirement is overcome by the AC500 system by positioning the filter parallel to, instead of across, the airstream. Polluted air is directed through the filter on a multiple pass basis making clean air available throughout the building. Combined with a pre-filter to capture larger particles, the AC500 system is designed to maintain its performance rating for up to two years before replacing the HEPA filter. Application: Forced air heating and
cooling systems.

Filtration systems are one of the most important parts of a home comfort system. In addition to protecting your Heating and Air conditioning equipment, a good filtration system will clean the air in your home and provide allergy and asthma suffers with relief.
A few things to consider when choosing a filtration system are; The MERV Rating, The Maintenance Requirements and Restriction of Air Flow.
A MERV rating is the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value of a mechanical filter. The minimum efficiency for a mechanical filter is usually when it is first installed because it hasn’t built up enough dust particles to help trap more dust and particles. With an electronic air cleaner it’s the opposite. They become less efficient as they load up with dust.
There are four basic types of mechanical filters:
If allergies or asthma are a concern, a filter with a MERV rating of at least 7 is required.
Both sizes of GeneralAire High Efficiency Air Cleaners are Deep Pleated with a MERV rating of 10. One media change per year is all the maintenance required in a normal household.
