Aprilaire / Space-Gard #501 High Efficiency Filtering Media (2-Pack)
These are the original, OEM expandable "accordian" style, factory recommended replacement filters for the Aprilaire/Space-Gard Model 5000 Air Cleaner. MERV 10 rated.
The filters ship like a collapsed accordian and are expanded into a plastic frame within the air cleaner cabinet. The filter is snapped into the plastic frame and held in place with existing pleat spacers. Assembly instructions are printed on the product carton.
The air cleaner media in the Model 5000 can last from 6 months up to 2 years. If installed on a 5-ton system, in the presence of high concentration of particulate, or if the furnace fan is on continuously, it may be necessary to change the media more frequently. In any application, the life of the media is dependant upon the total volume of air being moved through it as well as the amount of particulate it is filtering.

Comments about Aprilaire / Space-Gard #501 High Efficiency Filtering Media, 2-Pack:
These filters are great. We always had our heating and cooling serviceman install them. I was shocked that the price had increased by $25.00 since the last service. Thankfully, I found your site and saved a bucket of money. We will continue to purchase them from you. Great delivery time, same product, and friendly service.

It was my own fault that I ordered the wrong size. I called the company and was thoughtfully told how to order the correct size and how to print a pre-paid UPS address lable for a free return of the mistake for a full refund. The correct size arrived before I could take the the return to the UPS Store. A most rare and plesant buying experience!

The filters are the best value that I could find after a 15 minute internet search. They arrived in good order as promised. Installation instructions were on the box. It took me about 20 minutes to install (first time doing it), including cleaning the filter housing. Now that I know what I'm doing, the next time should be quicker.

Comments about Aprilaire / Space-Gard #501 High Efficiency Filtering Media, 2-Pack:
This filter is good for at least a year. It takes up more space than the conventional furnace filter, but the accordian pleats provide a huge surface area. It's a little awkward removing and replacing the filter element, but the directions are easy to follow.

Comments about Aprilaire / Space-Gard #501 High Efficiency Filtering Media, 2-Pack:
I have used this product for years and have had good results in both keeping ductwork clean and providing filtered air for living spaces. Highly recommended for central air heating and cooling systems. Requires the proper mounting enclosure for filter installation. I recommend buying Aprilaire Space-Gard products when it comes to quality filtration media.
