The 3M Filtrete Elite Allergen Air Filter is the most advanced high-performance home air filter made by 3M Filtrete. The Elite Allergen even outperforms Filtrete's own Ultimate Allergen Air Filter - which was previously the No. 1 performance air filter on the entire market. The Elite Allergen air filter provides approximately 20% more air cleaning power than the Filtrete Ultra Allergen Reduction Filter and outperforms all other one inch three month home air filters of other brands and competitors.
Also known as the Filtrete 2200 filter, this furnace filter boasts a 2200 Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR), which represents the effectiveness of a home air filter at capturing the smallest airborne particles measured in industry standard test. Indoor levels of air pollutants can sometimes be higher than outdoor levels; as such, a Filtrete air filter can help to better clean and filter the air in your home by effectively reducing various particles, contaminants, and impurities.

The Filtrete Elite Allergen Filter is 94% effective at attracting and capturing large airborne contaminants such as pollen, mold spores and dust mite debris, all of which can cause sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes.
The 3M Filtrete Elite Allergen Air Filter also uses electrostatically charged filter fibers to attract and capture microscopic airborne particles such as:
Smoke and Odor Carrying Particles - cigarette, cigar, fireplace, and wood burning stove smoke contain very tiny particles composed of wood tar, gases, soot, and ashes that can cause severe irritation and allergic reaction in some people and even trigger bronchitis or asthma attacks in others. Smoke also contains carcinogens which could lead to lung disease and cancer.
Pet Dander - tiny pieces of skin that come off of your dog or cat when they scratch. This dander either floats suspended in the air or sticks to whatever they land on. Allergies to pet dander can be very serious, including symptoms such as swollen eyes and throat, watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, or even asthma attacks.
Smog - even if you live in the remote countryside in a small town with little to no industry, chances are your home still contains smog. Smog, a combination of smoke and fog, makes its way from urban/industrial areas of the world right to your doorstep on the wind. Breathing in smog for prolonged periods of time can not only cause allergic symptoms such as watery eyes and running nose, but also more serious respiratory issues such as wheezing, coughing, asthma attack and sore throat.
Bacteria - airborne bacteria can be found any and everywhere. While some bacteria is beneficial to us, "bad bacteria" can cause problems such as pneumonia, strep, staph, and many other infections. Only the highest quality air filters such as the Filtrete Elite Allergen can remove bacteria and prevent its growth once trapped.
Virus Carrying Particles - like bacteria, viruses can be found just about anywhere but are rarely helpful to the human body. Viruses can attach themselves to just about any particle and once disturbed can become airborne. Once inside our cells, viruses can reek havoc on our immune systems with diseases from everything from the common cold to the flu, chickenpox, and Ebola.
The 3M Filtrete Elite Allergen Air Filter lasts for up to 3 months, though it should be changed more often under certain conditions such as during construction work, if you have dirty air ducts, if you are a smoker, if your pets produce a lot of hair and dander, and if you often use a fireplace or wood-burning stove.
This Elite Allergen air filter meets the American Lung Association Health House Indoor Air Quality Guidelines. This furnace filter is also know as the Filtrete 2200.
