DUH me has a HEPA filter, one I boght ages ago, and I keep forgetting to use the darn thing.
I also have 3 standard box fans which are a necessity down here
and have TWO furnace filter outlets for which we buy filters.

Now, thanks to you, I know what type of filter is best for the heat pump inlets
and how to make better use of our box fans ( which should take the 20x20 filters, I think)
and hopefully remember to use the HEPA more often.
I shedding dog and 2 cats plus the air down here is loaded with spores and dust from a zillion sources.

What was scary was to turn the flashlight on outside at night and see all the crap floating in the beam.

REC, with a BIG thank you!

Thanks for the information on the filter types. Heard of this, not that. Happy Holidays! freshwest Dec 2012 #1
