A high performance
filter for better
indoor air and
system protection
One-inch filters have been the standard
on system installs for years but they cause
a variety of equipment problems: frozen
coils, low airflow, inecient cooling and
even flood-back of refrigerant into the
compressor. HVAC contractors know that
better filtration prevents these problems —
homeowners don’t.
When you use Aprilaire air purifiers and high-performance
filters, you ensure that the HVAC systems you install will
last a long time and require fewer unscheduled service
trips to homes. This saves your customers money and
saves you and your sta valuable time.

It's all about airflow
Equipment cabinet sizes are getting smaller. Use the smaller size cabinet as an
opportunity to increase airflow and ensure the best system protection by installing
a Model 2516 cabinet with MERV 16 filter. The lower static pressure and higher
removal eciency will optimize the HVAC system for years to come.

High tonnage and geothermal systems
The system pressures of these applications require very low resistance. Historically,
contractors stack air purifiers. The Aprilaire Models 2516 and 1510 are specifically
designed for these applications.
