So where do you get this blue and orange filter? And what is it called?
I have a 16×25×1. I only see 16×24×1. Will this one still fit
@@michaelgarrison2043 Michael - 16x25x1 is actually on the list but out of order. Scroll down the drop down list and you will see it second from the bottom.
What is the black box you put it all in? I don't think we have one like that.
BTW squirrel cage fans would use less power and spin faster if your filter gets clogged. It will move less air but the fan moves faster with less power usage.
When I was a young airmen on the aircraft carrier, I'd perform ventilation maintenance and our filters were stainless steel. You could easily see through the filters, they weren't anything special, but the vent shops would run the filters through a dishwasher, spray oil on them once they were dry and issue them back to us to install. This comment may not add any value to the content you've posted, but I thought others might find this interesting.
First off, thank you very much for your service, it's greatly appreciated. Your experience with the oiled filter is exactly what we are trying to share in this video. Thank you for the view and your comment, it's appreciated, have a fantastic day my friend. Guru Mike
Actually interesting af
Like the oil trick, Im going to try it!
Oh, you bet! Thanks!
love the fact you added that you performed ventilation maintenance on the filters and then explained the steps taken. i laugh though because you say you and then immediately go into, our vent shops would run them through the dishwasher,............... pause................ spray oil on them ONCE tehy were DRY and issue them back to us to install. thank you
This is the kind of content my husband and I need. We've only been homeowners for 2 years so we're still learning!
Glad to help Erica! Thank you so much for watching, stay tuned my friend, lots more to come :) Hope you have a great week. Guru Mike
@@MrKnowItAllGuru you're so welcome! Enjoy your week as well!
Great content! I've been in the HVACR industry going on 6yrs now. With most of my customer base being commercial hotel high rises, restaurants & storage facilities I've been using the blue filter media the last 4yrs. In the kitchens of restaurants, I find extreme conditions with additional grease and flower causing expensive repairs to the refrigeration equipment that are in close proximity to fryers and breading stations. I use the blue media as a disposable to protect the condenser coils and it most certainly helps when doing scheduled preventive maintenance, On the residential side whenever I install a new unit or have scheduled p.m. I use the cheapest fiberglass filters with a Merv rating below 4 and recommend customers change them whenever they pay the electric bill every month. I like the idea of implementing the orange media and the canola oil is a great idea when reusing. Should make the cleaning process easier. However, the commercial kitchens are so bad that I have no choice but to throw them away and replace them with new.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing, we appreciate your input my friend, have a great week. GuruMike
There are mechanical ways of precipitating dust oil and grease from air with durable equipment that can be easily cleaned, but people will chose cheap today over lower cost during a lifetime.
Dusty house no matter what filter your using,check the compartment or return air to system and make sure it’s not pulling unfiltered air into system. From the attic is one of the major offenders and under the walls of the return air compartment. A high MERV filter will cause a system to pull air from any source other than the filter,path of least resistance.
getting too high of a merv is gonna reduce airflow (maybe change head pressure if too much).
Finding a 4 merv is getting impossible locally. Getting 7's is tough to even order.
In the harsh conditions you had in kitchens? You saved their butts for sure. Average homeowner? I don't think i'd do this in an older home and not with animals for sure.
Folks will forget and pressures are gonna go stupid.
I've been meaning to do this for years and this video was the kickstart I needed. I'm now the proud owner of four electrostatic filters (two for each inlet) and a roll of filter fabric. My wife has been assigned the arts and crafts portion of the project (to measure and cut the fabric). No more $$ for filters, ever.
LOL!! That's awesome Art! Thanks so much for watching and sharing, we truly appreciate it, you will love the results of this, great decision my friend. Have a fantastic week. Guru Mike
I have been investigating my dust problem for a while now and what I discovered is that a large percent of dust does not come from the HVAC intake. It comes from the Human body as well as fibers from things like our clothing and blankets and stuff. But I was surprised to discover how much dust is really skin cells and dandruff. And it really only came to light when I bought a mesh fabric office chair. I noticed that the mesh was allowing all the stuff flaking off my body to accumulate on the underside and backside of the chair. A thick coating of dust. I realized it was not from the air but my body.
Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great day. Guru Mike
Yes, which is why HAVC filtering doesn’t solve the problem. Vacuuming and open windows does!
@@fool9111z Vacuuming and opening windows doesn't clear out the dust either, sure you'll get a lot of it vaccumed up but it'll blow it around too. HAVCs have intake vents that help circulate the air to the furnace/ac so if you don't use a filter, all that dust/ dirt is just being recycled back into the whole house over and over again.
@@fool9111z open windows in areas like Tennessee will make the situation worse.
Homes which contain more cotton clothes and products develop more dust than homes which have more polyester and synthetic materials.
I just went down and changed out my furnace filter, it was the last one out of my stock, I bought quite a few 3 packs of these 20"x25"x4" filters a couple of years ago. They have since tripled in price. I said self, it is time for an alternative, and then I found this video... I just ordered two of the screens and a roll of the orange filter stuff, along with some large cord/cable clips to hold the orange filter to the electrostatic filter. I will use velcro to hold it in place inside the filter box. I bought two so that I can do a quick change when it comes time to clean the filters. Thank you for this video sir! You just saved me a bunch of money!
Glad to help Michael! I hear you on the costs of things doubling and tripling over the last 3 years :( We have to save where we can for sure! Thank you so much for watching and sharing, hope you have a fantastic day my friend. Guru Mike
Mike, what and where did you order the cable clips to hold the electrostatic filter to he orange filter? Thanks
@Michael Wright HI Mike I use the same size filter as you, could you tell me what size metal screens you used or post a link to it? Thank you.
I see others were asking about where to purchase the cord/cable clips you use , please add that information or a link....

Mr. Guru Hammers another one Home!!! 💪 I've been using these filters(washable) for 32 years and we've only bought new ones three times!!! AWESOME STUFF MIKE !!!👏 👌 👍 Have a Blessed week my friend!
Right on! Thanks as always Jay, huge $ savings my friend, have a great week. GuruMike
Good video for those that will do this and probably the best use of canola oil.
When I did construction defect litigation, I often represented the HVAC contractor named in the suit. Homeowners would state low register airflow when HVAC was in operation. I'd go over to the return air for a look and observe the air filter almost black and being sucked into the duct. I'd ask the homeowner when they last changed the filter, and some didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I told them at this point they should have the system cleaned by a pro. What falls into the floor registers gets blown back out. There is filter material available for the registers.
Ew so gross!!! I no longer feel as bad for letting mine go about 45 days. We showed the people who moved into our old house where the extra filters are. They said "I didn't know you're supposed to change those." Our brand new AC unit cost $10,000 for a 1600 Sq ft house! How do people not think about maintaining this stuff? At 20 years old I knew the importance of this!!
@@trishpipkins It catches your attention when your wallet hemorrhages. I hope you had some homeowner's insurance to cover most of the costs. So many people don't know where the gas, electrical, and water shut offs are located.
Glad to help Idylberry! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your knowledge, we truly appreciate the input, have a fantastic week my friend. GuruMike
Where can i get the bulk filter to purchase?
@@trishpipkins no way someone charge you 10 k for an ac unit thats absurd. Maybe for a full system with all new duct etc but just the ac unit is wild.
HOLY HELL! I have been STRUGGLING and going through turmoil on what type an brand of home/room air Hepa filter system to purchase for my home. THIS, seems to be one of the most down to earth solutions yet. Im going to try it. We live in El Paso, TX in the High Desert where it is very dusty!! YES, My fan blades look just like yours. LOL! I will get the system and report back the results in several months. Thank You. LOL! We have lots of rock walls. At the end of the video, your rock wall video popped up. Will have to check it out.

This is a timely video. I’ve been thinking lately to myself there is way too much dust in my house and have been wondering about the MERV filters we use. Seems like we have more dust the higher the MERV rating on the filter we use.
That's exactly what we were running it to Steve! Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great week my friend. GuruMike
I always thought about rigging something like this up. This helps make it happen 👍👍
Absolutely! Thank you for watching leakyjeep, have a great evening my friend. GuruMike
Thank you for this!!! I use the same home air filtration machines and have been putting off buying new filters because of the price
And I used to use the best filters possible in my furnace until I learned the negative effects so I use more basic now and have been contemplating the lifetime metal style for awhile. Paper ones will fold and suck into the furnace a bit if they get too soiled. Thank you again
Happy to help! Thank you for watching and sharing, now you can make your own filters. Have a great day my friend. Guru Mike
I was wondering what home filtration system he's showing and you have. Brand & model please. I love that it has a washable carbon infused plate. That's cool.
My air handler in Florida is in a closet with the filter in the door. it has a frame where the disposable air filter goes. How do I add an additional inch of blue filter or the tack pink material on top of the regular disposable filter? The frame looks like it can only hold the 1 inch filter.
We just bought a home in Winter Haven and bought a brand new AC unit. I've been wanting to know how to take care of it and make it last because they cost a small fortune to replace. I'm sharing this with my husband. You're awesome! Thanks for showing us all the "simple ways" to make life better. Also I love flat plugs. 😁

@@jeffpowell476 we also live in Winter Haven. If it weren't for the traffic, it would be great!
@@Cam-wi3tp small world lol
Great idea.....I would say have your Furnace cleaned every Summer , after winter is over and make sure they vac. out all your air ducts and vent you have in your home....that's a start and clean all ceiling fans off also..... those should be done often, at least in the summer and beginning of winter.....the more the better.....may cut out any allergies you might have, or certainly will help.....
I ditched my MERV 13 filters in my two split HC systems and I'm following your advice. My 9-year-old daughter seems to sneeze year-round in the house. Will try anything now to help and stop buying Claritin & Zyrtec meds. Living in the Miami-FLL area, I was initially concerned with layering two MERV 8 filters together because I didn't want to overwork my air handlers. But, I spoke to an HVAC tech who said it is better to have a thicker, two inch MERV 8 filter than a one-inch MERV 13 filter. Thank you @MrKnowitAllGuru
you are very welcome my friend!! Mr.KIA also see this video the stuff is unbelievable czcams.com/video/LvKZAEWTPWk/video.html it will really help anyone with allergies :)
THIS is a GREAT VIDEO, Boss! By any chance could you do one for A/C 5 HVAC maintenance tips? Anything in particular (aside from this great filtration video) about maintaining our AC/Heat systems? Would love to see one! Thanks, Brother!!
Great suggestion! We'll see what we can do for you. Have a great weekend, thanks for watching. Guru Mike
I layer mine with the lower merv on the outside to catch the bigger particles and the higher merv filters behind it to filter the smaller particles. I clean the outer lower merv filter more often because it tends to get dirtier faster where I live. Hope that makes sense. This keeps the higher merv filter last a bit longer.
Great tip Lemony Snicket! Thank you so much for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, have a fantastic weekend my friend. Guru Mike
How do you later on a regular 18x20x1 AC unit how would you get it to stick to the outside once the regular nerve filter is in?
@@Dreamlyte My return air filter registers are deep enough for 2 filters.
You can place a 2” thick filter in there. Better than double-stacking two 1” filters
@@scottrevia1611 this works fine and costs less. My outer filter is washable and will compress slightly for fit. A 2 inch filter won't fit. I have 2 large return airs on my 3 ton system. My Trane furnace is 32 years old and clean as a whistle.
Been using stainless a long time,clean monthly,never used the oil or mist,just wash,dry,febreeze,reinstall. I also run unit without filter and spray lysol every six months in returns to stop mold from ever growing in vent work. JM2C Im amazed at how many people never change a filter, or the ones that use high merv filters, the air restriction will make your air handler work much harder, and many times cause the coils to freeze up. You cant fix stupid but you can charge a lot of money for it

When I purchased my condo I got really nice fanss for it. To keep my fans and my freshly painted ceiling like new, I went to a local professional fan store. For 15 bucks I purchased an easy reach fan duster that covers all four sides at one time. You just slide it back and forth gently. Toss it in the wash. Two years later my white ceiling is as beautiful as the day I had it painted and the fans are dust free perfect.

The frustrating part is, how damn high up my filter is in my home. My stupid ceilings are pretty high. I have to get a 15ft ladder to change the damn filter. I’m 5’2”….
Let’s just say I don’t change it nearly as often as I should. Same goes with my smoke detectors.. They ALWAYS seem to start chirping low battery in the middle of night!

I enjoyed your video on how to improve air economically. My biggest concern is that a person may forget to change their tactified filter which would cause the furnace to cycle on auto reset main high limit. This would greatly shorten the heat exchanger life span. I've been using the 4.5 " deep by 20 by 16 MERV 8 filters. My returns are on the high sidewall I replace my filter every 12 to 18 months. I would recommend REME LED duct light which produces aerosol peroxide which have past lab tests to kill 99% of airborne viruses. Best Regards
First off, your statement of a person forgetting to change their tactified filter... if they forget to do something that is this important they deserve all of the issues and ramifications that come from their lack of caring. I'm not trying to sound mean here, but my dad always taught me "I forgot" is the worst excuse a person can have. That is like telling the police officer when you get pulled over for going 90mph, that "I forgot" that the speed limit was 55mph. Thanks for watching John, have a great day. Guru Mike
@@MrKnowItAllGuru thanks!
@@MrKnowItAllGuru 😅😅😅💕 So much respect. I work on this with my college student employees on campus. No employer wants to hear I forgot. Whbe its important to them, they dont forget. Parents that accept this are setting their kids up for failure.
I understand about placing the cut-to-fit filters in the intake vents to catch the particulate matter but would one replace the main furnace filter with something other than the regular furnace filters? We have a 20x25x5 filter and I like to replace it it more frequently than my partner wants to.

What metal hvac filter do you recommend for 16x20x5? I love this idea as my filters are $$$. I currently do MERV 11. I guessed it was better, but I’m really clueless on this stuff. TIA
You can start with one of these amzn.to/3Ry1Rvv pick the size you need, use either of these amzn.to/3SNhOht or amzn.to/3PBlb8B with this amzn.to/3jBXu63 and get busy. Thanks for watching, have a great day. Guru Mike
I bought a 16x25x1 metal filter. It barely fits into the spot where the filter goes. There is no way that the orange will go in either. Help!
Mr. Know it All, what type/brand of stand alone air filter is that on your workbench? I have a wood stove would like to use something freestanding like that.
It's this amzn.to/3Aluh4A it is a fantastic filtration system Miss T! Thank you for watching and asking, have a great week my friend. Guru Mike
The filter slot is only deep enough for the metal electrostatic filter. Can I use it without the blue or orange layer? Good content. Thanks

Great video! Question:
I have central air/furnace. What side do I place the orange/blue prefilter? On the "arrow" side? Also once the prefilter is installed on the filter, does the white side face out or in,?
hello Alex if i am understanding you correctly maybe not but yes the pre filter is placed before the main filter and that would be on the intake side of your main filter...the white side is always facing you this way you can better see when it is time to wash it. if i did not answer your question well you can email pics to us at sweetprojectcars@gmail.com thanks Guru Mike
I like your old channel Sweet Project also. Hey Mr KIA is there also a replacement for the big. 4 inch thick filters?
Hi. Thanks for making this. I’m about to make this change in my HVAC but just a suggestion, with many people asking in the comments on how to do it in their HVAC (what frame, how to mount, what direction the material, etc) maybe it would be great to see it implemented on an HVAC so people can get ideas on the frame and how to actually fit it in. I bought the reusable filters from Home Depot and the orange media from Amazon. I have a 4” and a 1” spot on my hvac and thinking the 4” spot might work but not sure how to mount the media to the filter so it stays. Clips? Anything better?
Can you send me a couple pictures of what you are trying to mount it to, we can get you pointed in the right direction eddie! Send pics to sweetprojectcars@gmail.com Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great day my friend. Guru Mike
When you are putting the metal filter in with the orange or blue one attached, is the metal part facing the toward the house or on the back and the orange part facing out? Also does ot need clips to hold it on there?
Not sure how you are installing it, but the metal filter goes on first and when you turn on your system then it will suck it in place then put this amzn.to/3SNhOht or amzn.to/3PBlb8B facing toward the air intake. Hope this helps, have a great week. Guru Mike
Quick question, if the filters I use already are 1in thick and the metal filter/frame to be used by this method is 1in thick, does that leave room for the orange filter material. Will compressing it tight against the metal filter to get it to fit hinder the airflow too much like you mentioned. Or should just a reusable metal filter by itself be used? Thanks
If you can get it in there, we highly recommend using it, compressing it will not hurt it a bit. Thanks for watching and asking Vinny, have a great day. Guru Mike
Same here, my AC filter space is only 1 inch high😢
thanks for the great video and details. how often should i change the orange filter up the ceiling for my HVAC for a 2500 sq ft home? also what is the order in which the filters go in the ceiling based HVAC air intake? is it the orange goes in first with its white part facing down and then the aluminuim filterthe last ?
The aluminum filter goes in first then the orange filter white side facing down. As for changing them I go every 30 days or when visibly dirty whichever comes first.
Remember my friend, believe it or not, those filters are like a pool filter, the dirtier they are, the better the filtration you get. Now with that being said, most filters that you put in your furnace have to be replaced every 30 days, you can easily go 45 to 60 days before pulling these out and cleaning them saving you time and money. Now if you have a lot of dust and pet hair etc you may choose to clean them sooner than that. The aluminum filter goes in first followed by this material amzn.to/3Ff9XnO Thank you for watching, have a great day my friend. Guru Mike

Mr Know It All where have you been all my life 😂?! I’m ordering the electrostatic air filter and a roll of the orange stuff as I type! What is your opinion of using the orange poly media in register vents? Mine are in the floor and I feel like everything that falls into them blows right back up into the room.
Absolutely use them there Amanda!! Anywhere air is sucked or blowing this will help immensely. Thanks for watching, have a great week my friend. Guru Mike
Great Video! I am a first time homebuyer and I am wanting to change my air filter for the first time and I am interested in trying this method. I have a 20 x 25 x 4 filter and I found a metal filter with the same dimensions but can you advise on how I would layer the filter and the orange media product based on space if the orange media is also 3/4 to an inch thick please?
You are going to have to get creative my friend, maybe one of these amzn.to/3Ry1Rvv would be a better option then use this amzn.to/3PBlb8B with this amzn.to/3jBXu63 Hope this helps, we really appreciate the view and comment Sophia. Congratulations on being a new homeowner, all the best to you my friend. Guru Mike
@@MrKnowItAllGuru Thanks, I’ll check these options out! Appreciate the response and ideas!
The older Jeep Liberty's don't have a cabin filter on the fresh air intake. Now I can make one. I was looking for something to keep a bluetooth headset from falling off. The tack spray should work for that too. Thanks.
Glad we could help! Thank you for watching and sharing, hope you have a great weekend my friend. Guru Mike
I follow the same cleaning methods as my grandparents - and yeah, you wipe down your fans once a month and depending on the activity in your house cleaning windows washing walls it’s all very beneficial
we catch your vibe on that my friend !!
Good tip however I do have a Ionizer filter system on my HVAC. I also have a HUGE dust problem and I can't seem to overcome it. Good tip to use those tacky pre-filters I will give it ago. Also I have a couple Oldie but goodie Hunter air filter fans on the order of what you have there. I just pulled them out of storage a couple weeks ago I realized that don't really like running them because they are a bit too loud and I was concerned about the cost of replacing the filters. However again your tip on how to avoid buying filters is much appreciated. I will say that your dirty fan blades do beg the question of how well all this is working for you.
The fan blades were before I installed my new filtering systems. Thanks again for watching and sharing, we do appreciate it, hope you have a fantastic day my friend. Guru Mike
So how are you going to get that new blue or orange media attached to your metal filter squeezed into the furnace slot that is only 1 inch wide like the metal filter you need to show how that’s going to be done because I’m skeptical of how you do that
You are going to have to get creative my friend, here's another option as well amzn.to/3Ry1Rvv then refill with either of these amzn.to/3SNhOht or amzn.to/3PBlb8B when needed. Thanks for watching, have a great week my friend. Guru Mike
Good video and tips , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Our pleasure! Thanks for the view Michael, it's always appreciated, have a great week. GuruMike

I have a 4 inch thick filter bay. How do i keep the pink or blue filter material from being sucked up into the unit via the inside unit blower?
You've got to get creative Mark, maybe you will have to attach this amzn.to/3PBlb8B with this amzn.to/3jBXu63 on a cheap filter to have something to secure it to. Hope this helps, thanks for watching. Guru Mike

I have like a 14x36 floor return and a 20x20 wall return.
Im mot sure how I would support the filters under the grates.
I have a similar situation. He’s not showing how to address the typical floor and wall returns.
I have a newer furnace about 3 years and my filter slides in. There is about 1-1/2" wide. I suppose I can reuse the current filter frame inserting it in and carefully replace. Please advise. Thank you 4 this vid.
You sure can, just get creative victoria, we also recommend these frames amzn.to/3Ry1Rvv Thank you for watching, have a great day. Guru Mike
I have a 20x25x4 filter. I could only find a 1 inch think aluminum filter. How would I go about filling in the 3 inch gap to keep it in place the the slot it slides into?
There's literally hundreds of ways a filter is set up in a furnace. You are going to have to get creative my friend. Thanks for the view, have a great day and all the best on your project. Guru Mike
Great video! Very cool! THANK YOU!
Glad you liked it Jim! Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great week my friend. Guru Mike
There are other mechanical dust and grease separators that are more effective and need less maintenance than washable filter media, but they have higher initial costs. Lungs and mucus membranes evolved to handle far higher dust levels than seen in that home. "Snot" is a continuously renewed, biodegradable, disposable dust filter.
well we are not into snotty noses so we will stick with our filters much more peaceful life for sure.. :)
What product would you recommend for a split unit? Please
If there's a filter, this can work gwen. There are hundreds of different style heating/ac units out there, we are sharing what most have. Thanks for watching, have a fantastic day. Guru Mike
Can this work on a whole house central air system? Thanks
Yes, absolutely that is what we use. Use it on anything that filters air grumpy old dude. Thank you for watching and asking, have a great weekend. Guru Mike
I use the middle grade filters that you can only see light through, I only need to change it one time per year yes I typed that correctly, I live in the south with a regular heat pump 2.5 ton. I don't notice any performance change with a new filter either. they cost me like $10
Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great day. Guru Mike
HELP! Can you use the orange or blue filters for vents? And if so would they stay in place with just the tack medium? Most of mine are on the ceiling but I cannot remove the registers. I have air cleaners out the wazoo and change the furnace filter. I rent so I cannot make major changes. I've tried everything.
Either of these will work amzn.to/3PBlb8B or amzn.to/3SNhOht you will just need to find a way to adhere it to the vent, most people remove the vent and place the material then the force of the air keeps it in place. Hope this helps, thanks for watching. Guru Mike & team
Great ideas, What is the name of the orange and black filtration materials, where can we get them. Thank You.

How do I install two layers of filter in a furnace with only a single layer opening. As you suggest a metal and a fiber filter together in furnace.
You either have to get real creative like we did or your only going to be able to use 1 layer my friend. Thanks for watching, have a great day. Guru Mike
Nice👍. I’ll to try this.
Awesome! Thank you for watching, have a great week my friend. GuruMike
I've been using washable filters for years and they are great. Until now, the system I recently got uses some weird filters and I haven't been able to find washable filters for it.
I also have a number of those flat extension cords.
We seem to think a lot alike on this channel LOL.
LOL, got to have some ingenuity these days! Thanks for the view and comment Leonard, we appreciate you my friend, have a great week. GuruMike
We have a wall heating unit the is connected to the central air conditioner. It takes two slide in filters, can I do this with that kind of unit?
You may need to get creative, but yes you can Cheryl. Thanks for watching, have a great week. Guru Mike
I can't get the bottle to spray a mist with pure canola oil. It sprays with a stream no matter the bottle setting. I tried the bottle with water and it mists just fine. Do you need to mix with water or something else to get the canola oil to spray a a mist?
No, but you definitely need to use these amzn.to/3FzDoiL They are the absolute best bottles and are all we use. Thank you for watching and asking, have a great weekend. Guru Mike
The listing on the Nordic Blue states not washable. Is the Orange one more washable? Our HVAC filter vent/opening is 20x20,and it is 'open',so would I cut the product to fit inside a cheap filter to hold it in place? Thanks.
We wash the blue all the time, they just want you to buy more. Just use a little dish soap with warm water, wring it out and let it dry. Here's another great product we found to use on your filters amzn.to/3jBXu63 And yes, just get creative with getting it to fit your filter frame. Thank you for watching and asking, have a great week Nancy. Guru Mike
That looks like it would work great, However the slot on my furnace is only as wide as the filter, so you can't add extra stuff down the slot.
If there's limited space, then this can't be done my friend. Thank you for watching and sharing Michael, have a great week. Guru Mike
K&N makes a washable reusable 1 inch thick filter, Amazon sells them, they have a few common sizes.
Is this filter material available in MERV 13 or 14?? I'd like to use it in my woodworking workshop. Sawdust can VERY easily pass right through a MERV 8.
We use either of these amzn.to/3SNhOht or amzn.to/3PBlb8B Thanks for watching, have a great week my friend. Guru Mike
Could you please let us know what and where you get these materials, thanks

Where do I buy the frame to install the insulation?
I already have an air filter but doesn't have a frame.
Thanks 😊
We recommend these Jorge amzn.to/3Ry1Rvv Thanks for watching and asking, have a great day and all the best on your project my friend. Guru Mike
I have a merv11 15.375x25.5x5.250 filter, can use a thinner electrostatic with tack filter, because it’s gonna leave a gap.
You may have to get creative Lucy, do what you have to do, and make sure you watch all of our related videos, they have a lot of helpful information on this method czcams.com/video/9i2vVNseftg/video.html & czcams.com/video/8yzOdujnEjg/video.html Thank you for watching, have a great day. Guru Mike
My HVAC system has a 5” thick filter that I replace every 6 months. How do I retro fit this to accept the thinner filter material you recommend ? Thanks in advance
You are going to have to get creative my friend, if your filter is 5" thick, it's obviously in need of more filtration. There are hundreds of different furnaces out there using different things, give it a shot. Thanks for watching, have a great week. Guru Mike
can i use the tack fiber material in the forced air registers also?
You can use it anywhere air is moved if you can get them to fit. Thank you for watching and asking Doug, have a great day. Guru Mike
