Electrostatic Furnace Filter Installation

When installing the air filter make sure the arrow, on the side of the filter, points to the furnace.

Installation for normal household use is easily performed without professional assistance. Simply remove your old disposable air filter and replace it with your new electrostatic air filter. Refer to the filter label regarding air flow direction when installing. For properly designed air systems, a minimum of one square foot of filter surface area is recommended per ton of air conditioning.

Filter Pull Tab Installation

Use the filter pull tabs for easier air filter removal for washing. In some installations, it is difficult to get a hold of the air filter frame to remove it. The two pull tabs provided need to be attached to the appropriate sides of the filter to allow easy removal from the filter holder.

First, select the area to attach the label for your configuration of filter holder. You may use one or 2 Pull Tabs for this purpose.
