You should not use more than one filter in any one place in the HVAC system due the air flow restriction it imposes on the HVAC system. Consult your service manual regarding specifications for your particular furnace or air conditioning system.

The air filter is a critical component of your engine. We cannot stress enough that for proper care of your engine, the air filter must be in proper working order. The air filter in all of our Nitro kits is pre-oiled for your convenience, however it must be cleaned and re-oiled after running 2-3 tanks of fuel. To clean the air filter, take the foam filter element out of the rubber boot and use fresh Nitro fuel to rinse the dirt from the foam element.

Although the FDA has no health-related standards, it does consider some portable air filtration systems to be Class II medical devices. In the United States, nothing can claim this status without FDA approval. To get approval, a manufacturer must show two things: (1) that the device is safe, usually indicated by the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) seal, and (2) that it has a medical benefit. Look for both the UL seal and a statement of the FDA's Class II approval.

To keep your furnace and air conditioner operating at peak efficiency. When the heat transfer surface of the furnace and air conditioner (indoor evaporator coil located on top of your furnace) gets covered in dirt (dust, etc...), it requires more energy to achieve the same load. For heating, this means you will consume more gas and electricity to heat your home, and for air conditioning, you would use more electricity to cool your home.

Look for the arrow showing airflow direction on the old air conditioner furnace filter and remember which way that it points. Make sure that you turn off your HVAC system to stop the airflow. Remove the old air conditioner furnace filter and discard it carefully so you don’t put the dust and other airborne contaminants back in the air. Write the date you install the air conditioner furnace filters on the place indicated on the side of the air filter frame.

If you have not experienced a decrease in mileage or engine performance, chances are your filter is fine and does not yet need cleaning. To be more specific, the filter does not require cleaning if you can still see the wire screen on the entire air filter regardless of how dirty it may appear. When the screen is no longer visible some place on the filter, it is time to clean it.

No. An engine can only draw in a certain volume of air depending on the engine’s size (measured by such things as bore, stroke and number of cylinders). Vehicles are designed to accommodate large changes in air pressure so they can operate at sea level or at an altitude of 14,000 feet. Engine computers adjust the amount of fuel required as a result of changes in air pressure (density).

K&N has an active Custom Air Filter Program to meet the needs of consumers with special filtration needs. We offer thousands of possible configurations of custom filters, in different shapes, dimensions and heights. Click here to read more.

Use a K&N Filter Care Service Kit, available at all major auto parts stores and a low pressure nozzle-free garden hose. A filter cleaned with K&N cleaning products will ensure a lifetime of performance from your air filter. Instructions for cleaning your K&N air filter are on our Air Filter Cleaning Instructions page.

No, this can blow the filter material right out of the wire mesh and ruin the filter. Pick a nice day to clean the filter and let it dry naturally. A low pressure air flow such as from an industrial drying machine or blow dryer will help the filter dry more quickly.

Air purifiers take out a lot of the pollutants from our air which can irritate allergies and asthma. These pollutants include airborne particulate as small as 0.3 microns and includes pollen, dust, pet dander, mold spores and smoke.

Air filters are not measured by micron size. As an industry standard, air filters are tested in accordance with the ISO 5011 test protocol to measure capacity (the physical amount of dust a filter can hold before cleaning is necessary) and efficiency (the filter’s ability to trap and hold dust). See technical service bulletin 89-5R from the Filter Manufacturer's Council. The dust selected for the test contains a specified distribution of different particle sizes according to ISO standards.

No. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has twice asked groups of experts to recommend national standards, but neither effort succeeded. Both groups concluded that there isn't enough research data on the relationship between air filtration and actual health improvement to recommend national standards. When you shop for air filters, you will find several rating systems that claim to compare filters. But these are not health-related rating systems.

It is impossible because we know that the oil treatment on our cotton is very small (usually less than 2 ounces). Once the oil is properly and evenly absorbed through the cotton, no oil will come off, even under extreme engine conditions.

Open the cabinet door. Slide the two clips up and pull out the filter. The filter should be changed every 6-12 months depending on dust status. Filters are available upon request from Frank Nelaj.

Filters are designed to clean the air and are useful for people who want to remove odours from the home, including pet smells, cooking smells and stale cigarette smoke. Also they remove airborne allergens including pollen, dust and bacteria. The filters work by being electrostatically charged and thus attracting allergens such as pollen, dust, smoke particles and spores.

The problem there is that they can only clean the air that actually passes through the filter, so they can only purify a portion of the air in a single room. However, most of the airborne particles in a single room will not line up single file and pass through a stationary filter, let alone an entire home. They also cause noise pollution, waste hundreds of dollars a year in electricity, are limited to collecting particles over .30 microns, and feature costly replacement filters.

The air filter should be changed in relation to operating environment of vehicle, eg in hot, dusty conditions more regular frequent change period is required. In any case recommend change every 12 months irrespective of conditions or distance A blocked air filter can significantly increase fuel consumption. In addition, it can increase cylinder bore wear due to excessively high fuel to air ratios.
