Title: "RVAir" air filters
Post by: Lt403 on May 27, 2020, 08:37:34 pm
good afternoon everyone,
Is anyone else using these filters? Did a search with no results.
I don't think the stock black ones do enough.

I think that is the filter we replaced the black ones with.  Mine is thicker and has two media

Along these lines, the tabs on my grills became brittle and broke off. I found replacements...new old stock, on eBay.

I made a template out of a plastic placemat and using it I can make a filter out of any material I choose.  Right now I'm using the Hepa material in a size that allows me to make two filters from one store bought piece, and I backed it with a  custom cut piece of that blue rubberized horsehair. Inexpensive.

I purchased them for the first time in September '19. Much thicker and more dense than the standard black filters. Manufacturer calls to change filters out every 90 days. I have not changed them because we did not use the AC/Heat Pump much over the winter. I do wonder about reduced air flow caused by the thicker material. I paid $13 each at Walmart. They are disposable (not washable).

I cut tight a tight fitting piece of this to use as a backer for the lightweight filter material so the lightweight stays in place and doesn't get sucked up inside. And the horsehair is washable.
