How it Works
The filter in your Media Air Cleaner is made up of a web of fibers. As air passes through the Media Air Cleaner,
particulates such as dust, pollen, dander, mold, and bacteria collide with the fibers in the filter and become
trapped. Meanwhile, the clean air is allowed to continue through your heating and cooling system and into
your home. The particle removal efficiency of the Media Air Cleaner can be found in the Specification section
of this manual.
What to Expect From Your Media Air Cleaner
Application Considerations
The Media Air Cleaner is designed to work with gas, oil, and electric forced warm air furnaces and with
compressor cooling. It can also be used with heat pumps if the filter is changed regularly to prevent excessive
pressure drop. The Media Air Cleaner is not recommended for applications where pressure drop may be
critical.
Models
F100F Media Air Cleaner includes cabinet, access door and MERV 11 pleated media filter.
F200F Media Air Cleaner includes cabinet, access door and MERV 13 pleated media filter.
Air Conditioning
Mount the media air cleaner upstream of the evaporator coil in a cooling system. The filter will help to keep
the coil clean and reduce maintenance.
Humidifiers
The media air cleaner is compatible with humidifiers. Avoid applications where water mist will reach the
media. If an atomizing humidifier is used, the media filter will require replacement more often because of
minerals in the water.
UV Lights
Germicidal UV lights can cause degradation of the media filter. The UV light should be located out of line of
sight or a minimum of 3 feet from the filter. Otherwise the filter may need to be replaced more frequently.
