The ETS 24x24x4.5 is a pleated air filter for HVAC systems engineered to capture airborne particles and improve indoor air quality. The filter employs electrostatically charged synthetic pleated media with a durable frame and wire backing to remove dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, lint, smoke, and smog across residential and commercial applications. Available in multiple MERV ratings—MERV 8, MERV 11, and MERV 13—the filter delivers filtration efficiency from 90% to 95% depending on rating, with MERV 13 capturing finer contaminants including bacteria and tobacco smoke.
