Theoretically yes, you can. However, we have not evaluated this in our lab testing.
There are two parts to this answer: The two components that can wear down in an REairs filter are the anti-bacterial coating and the mesh that the filter is made from. Trust us though, they’re both tough! Our studies have shown that after 35 to 50 washes, the coating still maintained itself on average 80%. In terms of the mesh, testing shows that our premium German fabric is altered only 0.8% after 10 washes.
REairs is a lab tested Merv 8 filter that has the same airflow pressure drop as regular filters. Most HVAC systems in the residential and light commercial markets are designed to move 900 to 2000 cubic feet per minute (CFM) at a total system static pressure of approximately .5 to .7 WG total pressure drop. AirThreds maximum pressure drop is 0.68 WG.
REairs offers a one-year limited warranty on all filters purchased from airthreds.com and authorized retailers with proof of purchase.
We’ve tested at 16*25 sized filter at 492 fpm the maximum airflow is 1708.
We are headquartered in Denver, CO, where we do all of our product design and development. We outsource the manufacturing so we can offer REair at the best possible price to our customers.
Yes! Our third-party testing accredited us having a MERV 8 filter, the filter was tested by a NAFA CAFS certified technician in a Lab which is certified ISO 17025. Third-party lab (NAFA ) Ashrae 52.2 standard Ashrae And TANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®
At the present time, REair is offered only in a one-inch thickness.
We recommend purchasing a new REairs filter after 36 to 50 washes to maintain maximum efficiency.
The Merv rating will remain the same up to as many as 36-50 washes.
We haven’t had that issue, but if it’s something you’re worried about, here are some suggestions. First, we recommend not washing your REairs with delicate items. If you don’t want to wash it by itself, throw it in with jeans or towels. Second, you can “pre-treat” by running your vacuum hose over your filter to remove excess contaminants. This is also a great solution for a quick clean between washes!
.Yes, please make sure you select the correct filter size to match your air duct.
REair can be used both in an air return vent and in the HVAC unit
Unfortunately REair cannot be cut down or resized since our product is made of two parts: the frame and the filter, and the frame’s size is unmodifiable. We are currently developing more standard sizes to meet more needs.
REair has been third-party lab tested to provide Merv 8 filtration at 492 fpm.
Most systems can handle up to MERV 11 without any major issue. But using single-use filters, at higher MERV level, can be expensive. If you need a higher filtration level like MERV-11 or above, then REairs is probably not the right product for you. Most people use a MERV-8 in their homes and replacing the filter every one to three months. REairs can help to reduce that cost and the added waste that ends up in our landfills.
AirThreds filtration efficiency is based on Ashrae 52.2 Merv 8 Standards. Our furnace filter will not filter viruses, however, Airthreds filter will be able to filter some of the particles in the air that carry viruses, and bring you cleaner air.Of course, it can also filter a lot of pollen or pet hair, preventing some of the allergen contact.
