Product Description
3M's basic Filtrete filter. The MERV 8 efficiency is better than an average pleated filter, but not as good as Filtrete's Micro Allergen or Ultra Allergen models. The Model 600 utilizes a "pinch pleat" design, which does not have the rigid and more costly frame cross members that are standard on 3M's higher-end models. The "pinch pleat" design saves you money. Please note that these Filtrete filters measure approximately 0.3 inches smaller than the stated size in order to conform to industry standards.

The best filter for heat pumps.
By jegs
I was using the red Filtrete 1000 filters and my HVAC tech said those were too restrictive for a heat pump system since a heat pump relies on more airflow to obtain their BTU rating than a conventional furnace system. He recommended I use a cheap pleated filter one step above the worthless fiberglass type filters. Now I believe that a heat pump relies on good air flow but I also know that HVAC techs rely on service calls. They love to come out and clean your system because it is full of dust from a cheap filter and charge you an arm and a leg. Dirty systems are also not covered under warranty so it's a win win for them. I did some research and found that some cheap pleated filters can also be very restrictive. I really wanted to use a good filter like the Filtretes but needed something with more airflow. I saw on the blue 600 Filtrete filters that it said "Best Filtrete filter for high velocity equipment" so I tried one and it is the perfect match between airflow and air cleaning ability. I highly recommend the blue Filtrete 600 for your heat pump system.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding Filtrete(TM) Filters. We appreciatehearing from you.All our filters will remove particles that measure .3-10 microns.The media fibers are polypropylene and polyolefin plastic.Performance, MERV Ratings and pressure drop:Maximum/Ultimate Allergen 17001-10 microns - 93%MERV 12pressure drop .20Ultra Allergen 12501-10 microns - 90%MERV 11pressure drop .18Allergen Reduction 12001-10 microns - 85%MERV 11pressure drop .23Micro Allergen Extra 10851-10 microns - 85%MERV 11pressure drop .19Micro Allergen 10001-10 microns - 80%MERV 11pressure drop .21Micro Particle 7001-10 microns - 75%MERV 9pressure drop .18Dust & Pollen 6001-10 microns - 70%MERV 8pressure drop .14Dust Reduction 3001-10 microns - 60%MERV 7pressure drop .15As clean filters, the product is not restrictive to air flow. Filters willbecome restrictive if they are not changed when needed. We say filter lifeis approximately 3 months and this is an approximation. Filter life isactually determined by the user's living conditions and will vary for everyuser. To determine when the filter needs to be change, we suggest holdingit up to the light. When you cannot see light through the filters, it willneed to be changed even if it is before 3 months.If you are concerned about airflow, you might want to use the Dust & Pollenfilter which has the lowest pressure drop, and change it more frequently.The capture rate of this filter is also lower.Additional information is available on our website at [...]

I have been experimenting with different air filters over the last few years to see which level of filtration works the best for us. 600 MPR, like these filters are the best balance between airflow and filtration. Any higher, and you start increasing your energy costs and reducing the airflow of your system. Any lower, and the amount of indoor allergens becomes apparent.In addition to being the right balance between airflow and effectiveness, the 3M Filtrete 600 MPR filters also are durable and provide a large amount of 'in-filter surface area' to hold the stuff it catches over a long period of time. We have found that these filters will last 2 months in the high use periods and as many as 4 during the spring and fall. They hold a lot of dust before impacting airflow.The price and convenience of buying these on Amazon.com can't be beat. A 6-pack of these delivered to your doorstep, well packaged for transport and long-term storage, is much better than having to buy them frequently locally. When you do that, they dominate your cart and often get damaged in the process.I wish I started buying these earlier, and recommend that you learn from my mistake. These are the best price on the best filters.
