Filtration Principles: How Our Furnace Air Filter Reduces 99 % of Airborne Particles
Understanding how your furnace air filter is key to keeping your home’s air cleaner and your family healthier. DistinctAir filters are engineered with advanced filter media and proven principles of filtration, each designed to capture particles of all sizes as air flows through your HVAC system. From dust and pollen to bacteria and allergens, every layer of our filters works together to maximize indoor air quality.
Interception - Our Unique Furnace Air Filter Stops Dust in its Tracks
As air passes through the furnace air filter, dust, pollen, and other airborne particles follow the airflow. When they touch the woven fibers of our filter media, they stick due to strong attraction forces, preventing pollutants from circulating in your home. This keeps your living spaces cleaner and your family breathing easier.
Diffusional Effect – Our 3D Filter Media Catches Even the Tiny Particles
Tiny airborne particles like pollen, smoke, or microorganisms can evade ordinary filters. Our 3D filter media forces small particles onto erratic paths, increasing the chance they collide with and stick to the fibers. This principle of filtration significantly reduces allergens and germs, keeping your indoor air safer and fresher.
Straining – Easily Block the Big Stuff With Our Furnace Air Filter
Pet dander, dust, and pollen are effectively captured by our MERV 7 furnace air filter. Large particles cannot slip through the woven filter media, ensuring efficient removal while maintaining smooth airflow. The result? Noticeably cleaner air and reduced allergy triggers in your home.
Impingement - Heavy Particles Don’t Stand a Chance With This Filtration
Technique
Heavier dust and debris can’t quickly change direction with airflow. When air moves around the filter media, these particles collide with the fibers and are trapped. This principle of filtration removes pollutants that could otherwise settle in your home, improving indoor air quality for everyone.
Collision Probability - Layered filtration media for Maximum Clean Air
Our reusable furnace filter features multiple layers of carefully arranged filter media. Each layer increases the probability of particle collisions, trapping dust, allergens, and airborne microorganisms. This layered approach in furnace air filter design ensures maximum filtration efficiency while maintaining smooth airflow and optimal HVAC performance.
