Superior Filtration Products ULTIMATE in Odor Control residential air filters use a Triboelectrically charged media and activated carbon to filter the air and remove odors.
Rated at a strong MERV 12+ under ASHRAE Test Standard 52.2-1999, the ULTIMATE in Odor Control provides outstanding performance with an amazingly low airflow resistance in your furnace and air conditioner. This translates into energy cost savings - just by using the Superior Filtration Products ULTIMATE in Odor Control.
Activated Carbon has the ability to capture gas molecules and hold them until the filter is disposed of. Other methods used to control odors - air freshener sprays and wicks, scented candles, etc. - only cover up the smells, but the odors still exist.

Superior Filtration Products ULTIMATE in Allergen Protection residential air filters use a triboelectrically charged media to filter the air and to attract and remove allergens as well as dust and other particulates.
The most common outdoor allergens include pollens from trees, grasses, weeds, and molds. These allergens cause symptoms during different seasons, mostly occurring during the spring and fall seasons. Pollen cycles typically begin with tree pollens in the spring, continue to grass pollens in the late spring and summer, and finally weeds which affect allergy sufferers in the summer and early fall.
Rated at a strong MERV 12+ under ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerateing and Air Conditioning Engineers) Test Standard 52.2-1999, the ULTIMATE in Allergen Protection provides outstanding performance in removing allergens from the inside air as well as an amazingly low airflow resistance in your furnace and air conditioner. This translates into energy cost savings - just by using the Superior Filtration Products ULTIMATE in Allergen Protection.

Modern adults spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, and thanks to our more tightly insulated and sealed homes and workplaces, the concentration of pollutants indoors may be even higher than outdoors.
Major indoor pollutants include environmental tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke), radon, and combustion products from cooking, furnaces, fireplaces, vehicled emissions, etc. Additionally, interior spaces will have other contaminants such as pet dander, pollens, molds, and dust mites.
By using a Triboelectrically charged filter media, rated at a MERV 10+ under ASHRAE Test Standard 52.2-1999, the ULTIMATE in Household Filtration provides outstanding performance with an amazingly low airflow resistance in your furnace and air conditioner. This translates into energy cost savings - just by using the Superior Filtration Products ULTIMATE in Household Filtration.

The Superior Filtration Products ULTIMATE in Flat Panel Air Filter is more effective than most regular panel filters on normal indoor particulates. This premium, flat panel filter captures particles as small as 10 microns in diameter, including pet dander, household dust fibers, dust mite debris, and mold spores.
This durable, 60 day air filter is made with 100% polyester media that does not support microbial growth. It has a very low pressure-drop (resistance to airflow), providing optimum air flow as well as maximizing energy efficiency and savings.

Superior goes green and saves you money!
According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), reusing items reduces waste. Reusing products, when possible, is even better than recycling because the item does not need to be reprocessed before it can be used again. This product does both!
This durable, long-life air filter is made with 100% polyester, cleanable media that does not
support microbial growth. Designed to be cleaned with a vacuum and soft brush attachement (Do Not Wash), it has a very low pressure-drop (resistance to airflow), providing optimum air flow as well as maximizing energy efficiency and savings.

How are filter performance ratings measured?
The FPR (Filter Performace Rating) is measured by an industry standard laboratory test conducted on clean filters. The test measures a filter's ability to capture several ranges of particle sizes over time. The data from all particle sizes ranges is compared to other types of filters. Since this test is done in a laboratory, it cannot predict how a filter will actually perform in a home - however, it can serve as a very useful benchmark to compare different filters.
What is a MERV Rating?
MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) was developed by ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers) under Test Standard 52.2-1999. MERV is a rating system developed to give a simplistic method of comparing filters. In general, the higher the MERV rating is, the more efficient the filter is at capturing smaller and smaller contaminants and particles.
What is a micron?
A micron is a unit of linear measurement equivalent to one millionth of a meter.
1 Micron=Approximately 1/25,400 inches (A human hair is approximately 150 microns in diameter)
What is the Triboelectric Effect
The Triboelectric Effect is created by placing two polymers with opposite dielectric properties in contact so that they exchange ions and creates, once they are seperated, a charge imbalance between the two. This ionic disequilibrium creates a strong electric field at the microscopic level of the filter media. The effect is used to attract and trap microscopic particles that might otherwise pass through the filter.
