Frequently Asked Questions:
How do you install the AprilAire 216?
- 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 216 filter that's currently installed.
- Prior to installing the new AprilAire 216 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 216 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 216?
Changing your AprilAire 216 is a very quick and easy process that should be done once every six to twelve months.
What contaminants does the AprilAire 216 reduce?
The AprilAire 216 is a MERV 16 air filter, which means that it reduces the following contaminants:
- Dust
- Pollen
- Mold Spores
- Bacteria
- Pet Dander
- Dust Mites
- Airborne Particulates associated with Tobacco Smoke and Smog
- Other Common Airborne Allergens
Does the Aprilaire 216 help with allergies?
Yes! The MERV 16 media is designed to capture many of the most common airborne allergy triggers, including pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and dust mites. While no air filter can eliminate allergies, using the Aprilaire 216 can significantly reduce airborne allergens circulating through your HVAC system.
Is the Aprilaire 216 washable or reusable?
The Aprilaire 216 is a disposable replacement filter. It should be replaced when it reaches the end of its filter life and should not be washed or cleaned. Doing so will reduce filtration performance and may damage the filter media.
