NOT Direct Replacement
This filter is advertised as a direct replacement for use in a SpaceGard Model 2400 filter system. The SpaceGard system requires a filter element with 31 pleats. This unit has only 29. Thus (2) of the 31 'fingers' of each of the system's spacers must be 'doubled up' into one pleat, expanding that pleat too far and causing a tear in the filter media. Also, this filter uses glue to set the spacing of the media rather than string as used by others. The glued point at each of the 29 pleats can be easily separated (torn apart) during installation, thus improperly spacing the pleats. NOT a good unit. Lastly, when the mfgr (BestAirPro) was contacted with the above, there was no response.

MERV 11 rated. They are non-OEM filters. The filters ship like a collapsed accordian and are expanded into a plastic frame within the air cleaner cabinet. The filter is snapped into the plastic frame and held in place with existing pleat spacers. Assembly instructions are printed on the product carton. The air cleaner media in the Model 2400 can last from 6 months up to 2 years. If installed on a 5-ton system, in the presence of high concentration of particulate, or if the furnace fan is on continuously, it may be necessary to change the media more frequently. In any application, the life of the media is dependant upon the total volume of air being moved through it as well as the amount of particulate it is filtering.

Good value for the money
My A/C service contract gives me two visits per year for my furnace, when the technician checks the whole thing over and cleans it out. He also replaces the filter, and I have to pay 60 bucks for the filter, since consumables are not included. I just checked to see if these filters had to be that expensive, and found out - thanks, Amazon! - they don't! Even if this filter is a generic one, compared to the "real item", it works just the same. Perk: you can have 3 fresh ones for the price of 1 of the "authentic" kind. Since filters are better when fresh, it is a no-brainer: I buy the ones for 20 bucks a piece and replace them every 2 months, instead of every 6. Bingo, I win!
