Benefits of the PuroAir HVAC Mega Filter:

Advanced Filtration Technology

  • CarbonTech™ Activated Carbon Layer: The heart of the filter is its activated carbon material, which has a highly porous surface that filters odors and some gases. This makes it an effective barrier against smoke, cooking odors, pet smells, and other household or environmental pollutants.*
  • MERV 13 Layer: The MERV 13 rated filter layer blocks fine air particles down to 1 microns.*
  • Pre-Filter Layer: Screens for larger visible air pollutants like dust, pollen, pet hair, and more.

Odor

One of the standout advantages of PuroAir Mega HVAC Filters with activated carbon technology is their exceptional ability to reduce persistent and unpleasant odors. These filters are specifically engineered to target odor-causing molecules, making them highly effective against smells from everyday sources such as cooking fumes, pet dander, mold growth, and tobacco or wildfire smoke. By mitigating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other airborne pollutants, they not only freshen the air but also contribute to a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment—especially in homes with pets, smokers, or high humidity levels. This can significantly improve the comfort and freshness of indoor spaces.*

Ideal for Sensitive Environments

 PuroAir MERV 13 Air Filters are an excellent choice for maintaining superior indoor air quality in spaces where health and comfort are a priority. Their advanced filtration capabilities make them particularly beneficial for households with individuals who suffer from allergies, asthma, or heightened sensitivity to airborne particles.

Beyond residential use, MERV 13 air filters are also highly effective in commercial settings where air purity is critical such as offices, restaurants, clinics, and wellness centers. In these environments, clean air not only supports employee and customer well-being but also contributes to a more pleasant and professional atmosphere. Whether you're protecting vulnerable family members at home or ensuring a hygienic space for clients and staff, MERV 13 filters deliver reliable, high-performance air filtration that meets elevated standards of cleanliness and safety.

Quiet Operation

Carbon-activated filters operate quietly and do not introduce mechanical strain on the HVAC system, making them ideal for both residential and commercial environments where comfort and system longevity are key. Whether installed in a central air system or a standalone unit, PuroAir carbon-activated filters deliver powerful purification without the drawbacks of noise, reduced airflow, or increased energy consumption ensuring clean air and peace of mind.*
