Advanced Filtration Technology

Six innovations that make Filtrete the #1 choice for home air filtration — engineered by 3M to capture what other filters miss.

3-in-1 Electrostatic Technology

Magnet-like capture

Electrostatically charged fibers attract and capture airborne particles like a magnet, pulling allergens, dust, and microscopic contaminants out of the air flowing through your HVAC system.

MPR Rating System

Beyond MERV

Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR) was created by 3M to exceed industry standards. MPR measures capture of the smallest airborne particles (0.3–1 micron) that MERV doesn't fully address.

Allergen Defense

Up to 95% capture

Captures up to 95% of large airborne particles including pollen, dust mite debris, mold spores, and pet dander — critical for Florida homes where allergens circulate year-round.

Bacteria & Virus Filtration

AAFA certified

Advanced MPR 1900 filters capture bacteria, virus-carrying particles, and smoke — certified asthma & allergy friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

Smart Air Filter Technology

App-connected

Bluetooth-connected smart filters with the Filtrete Smart app monitor airflow and track filter life in real time. Get notifications when it's time to change your filter.

Refillable Filter System

Less waste

A reusable frame with refillable filter inserts — same trusted Filtrete filtration with less waste. Simply replace the filter media and reuse the frame.
