Your home should be your sanctuary, beginning with the air you breathe. Filtrete Allergen, Bacteria & Virus Air Filters are designed to capture unwanted particles from your household air, contributing to a cleaner, fresher home environment. By proactively capturing dust, bacteria, viruses and allergens, these high-performance filters help improve your home's air quality.

The Filtrete 1500 MPR Ultra allergen reduction filter not only vastly improves the air quality in your home, but it also keeps your air conditioning and heating systems running efficiently, saving on utilities and maintenance costs. The electrostatic filter attracts and captures airborne dust, pollen, dust-mite debris, lint, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, smog, bacteria, and particles that can carry viruses. With each pass through the specially pleated filter, the air in your living space improves, making for a healthier home environment. This high-performance filter outperforms comparable non-electrostatic fiberglass and washable and reusable one-inch filters.

At a glance, the 1500 MPR Ultra Allergen Reduction Filter features an electrostatic design that attracts and captures a wide range of air pollutants, including dust, pollen, dust-mite debris, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, smog, bacteria, and particles that can carry viruses. This improvement in air quality is achieved by cleaning the air with each pass through the filter. Furthermore, the filter helps keep your furnace or air conditioner running efficiently by reducing strain on the system.

Compared to non-electrostatic fiberglass and washable/reusable filters, the 3M Ultra allergen reduction filter performs better, as it is able to attract and capture the small, allergy-aggravating microparticles that other filters cannot. This is due to the filter's unique design, which features both positively and negatively charged fibers that act like tiny magnets to attract air-polluting contaminants.

With indoor air often being two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, the 3M Ultra allergen reduction filter can make a significant difference in maintaining a healthier home environment. Featuring a 1500 Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR), this high-performance filter is able to capture a wide range of particles, including household dust, pollen, dust-mite debris, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, smog, bacteria, and other allergens. This filter meets the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest Health House Program's indoor air quality guidelines.

In addition to improving air quality, this high-performance allergen-reduction filter also helps keep your heating and air conditioning equipment working efficiently by removing dirt and reducing strain on the motor. It is recommended to change the filter every three months, although the effectiveness and life of the filter can vary depending on the individual conditions in your home.

Filtrete filters have been delivering cleaner air to millions of homes for nearly 25 years, becoming a leader in residential air filtration. Developed by 3M engineers, the Filtrete filter media is electrostatically charged to act like tiny magnets, attracting and capturing microscopic particles from the air as it passes through. Today, a dedicated technical team continues to develop innovative filtration solutions for around the home, including air cleaning filters, room air purifiers, and water filtration products.
