Frequently Asked Questions:
How do you install the AprilAire 213?
- Locate your home's thermostat, set the mode to "OFF" and set the fan to "AUTO".
- Open the door to your AprilAire air purifier and remove the old AprilAire 213 filter that's currently installed.
- Prior to installing the new AprilAire 213 filter, ensure the air flow arrow points toward the HVAC unit. Align the entry points on the filter with the top and bottom of the interlock rail system.
- Once the AprilAire 213 has been connected to the air purifier, push it into the system. Then, close the air purifier.
- Return your home's thermostat to its original settings.
How often should you replace the AprilAire 213?
Changing your AprilAire 213 is a very quick and easy process that should be done once every six to twelve months.
What contaminants does the AprilAire 213 reduce?
The AprilAire 213 is a MERV 13 air filter, which means that it reduces the following contaminants:
- Dust
- Pollen
- Mold Spores
- Bacteria
- Pet Dander
- Dust Mites
- Smoke & Smog
- Virus Carriers
- Other Common Airborne Allergens
Why is the Self-Seal™ technology important?
AprilAire’s patented Self-Seal™ technology ensures that more air is filtered before circulating throughout your home, instead of going around the filter.
Does the AprilAire 213 require any tools for installation?
No. The AprilAire 213 uses interlocking rails, meaning it slides directly into the existing track of your air cleaner housing, and the pleats are held in place by the built-in structural supports of the filter itself.
Why does the AprilAire 213 look like an accordion?
The AprilAire 213 is a "collapsible" media filter. It arrives flat to save space and expands like an accordion during installation.
What does MERV 13 actually mean?
MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) 13 means the filter captures a large range of particle sizes, including much smaller and more harmful particles than lower-rated filters capture. The MERV 13 rating makes it suitable for households with allergy or asthma concerns while still allowing reasonable airflow through HVAC systems.
