Naturalaire Choice Allergen MERV 8 Filter – 20″ x 20″ x 5″, Extended-Depth Filtration (Pack of 2)

Description

This 20″ × 20″ × 5″ listing (part number 82655.052020) of the NaturalAire Choice Allergen pleated air filter delivers MERV 8 filtration and ships as a case of 2 filters.

Individually sealed. Every NaturalAire filter ships individually wrapped inside the case — each filter protected from dust, moisture, and shipping damage until you’re ready to install it.

MERV 8 — standard efficiency

MERV 8 is the baseline for good residential and light commercial filtration: effective against household dust, lint, larger pollens, and dust-mite debris — with low pressure drop so it protects airflow and coil performance. It’s the right choice when system protection and clean returns are the goal, not allergen-level filtration.

Design and construction

• Media: Extra-depth pleated synthetic media built for extended service life. MERV 8 mechanical filtration.
• Frame: Moisture-resistant beverage-board with wire-mesh media support and double-wall construction for deeper formats.
• Max operating temperature: 180°F (82°C)

Where it fits

Homes with allergy or asthma sensitivity, pet households, and light commercial spaces. The deeper (4″–6″) format gives significantly longer service life than 1″ standard pleated filters — often 6–12 months per filter.

Replacement schedule

At 5″ depth, plan to replace this filter every 6–12 months under typical residential or light commercial loading. High-dust environments, pet homes, wildfire smoke events, or construction-adjacent sites will shorten that window. Check the filter monthly through the first cycle to calibrate your schedule.
