Why Size Matters
You may be tempted to grab a filter off the shelf that’s “close enough.” But the purpose of air filtration is to keep your air as clean as possible. If the filter is the wrong size and allows air to bypass the filter, then you are not taking full advantage of your system. The air for your system – and your lungs – is not as clean as it could be.
