Each filter in the pack measures an actual 15.688 x 19.688 x 0.78 inches and is intended for routine replacement every 90 days in typical household HVAC systems. Filtrete’s electrostatic charge and pleated construction help attract and retain more airborne particles than non-electrostatic 1-inch filters, making regular indoor air maintenance simpler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much particle removal can I expect from MPR 700 (MERV 8)?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMPR 700 corresponds to a MERV 8 performance level, which captures a broad range of common home particles without restricting airflow.
