High Efficiency Filtration

Air filtration is a cornerstone feature of the CERV2. The utilization of MERV13 filters as a standard component within the CERV signifies a proactive stance towards capturing a wide range of airborne pollutants. These filters are engineered to trap particles as small as 0.3 microns, effectively removing dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens from the indoor environment.

bar chart showing filtration efficiency vs MERV rating.  The CERV2 uses MERV13 or MERV14 filters.  MERV13 filters filter 50% of 0.3 to 1.0 Micron particulates, vs 75% for MERV14 filters.

Furthermore, the CERV offers users the option to upgrade their filtration system to MERV14 filters, enhancing filtration efficiency and capturing even smaller particles with greater precision. This upgrade is particularly beneficial for individuals with heightened sensitivity to airborne allergens or those seeking the utmost level of air purity. Additionally, the option of carbon filters provides an added layer of defense against odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and smoke, further enhancing the quality of indoor air.

The innovative VOC absorbing “Colorfil” filters represent a pioneering approach to air filtration, incorporating visual indicators to signal filter replacement. These specialized filters not only capture VOCs and other airborne pollutants but also change color over time, providing a visual cue to users when it’s time for a replacement. This proactive feature ensures that the filtration system remains effective and efficient, minimizing the risk of degraded air quality due to outdated filters.

ColorFil VOC Absorbing Filters
  • Removes lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, smog, virus carriers, mold spores, help eliminate unwanted odors and other contaminants.
  • Colorfil™ filter coating technology removes amines, acidic gases, and aldehyde from the air better than carbon filters
  • Ideal for customers looking for superior filtration but needing an odor control element
  • Colorfil™ filters change color from purple to yellow, so you know exactly when to change them
  • Colorfil™ amine-removal coatings are capable of removing compounds such as household chemicals, urine, pet, food, and other amine related odors from air. They do this with better efficiency than carbon filters and have 5x more capacity.
  • Colorfil’s™ acid-removal coating is designed to remove acidic and acid-forming gases (e.g. SO2) from ambient air. Capacity for these compounds is 9x more than traditional carbon.
  • Made in the USA
