Ultra-Web technology is exclusive to high-efficiency Honeywell Media Air Cleaners. Media air filters, at the microscopic level, consist of an interlocking network of fibers that appear quite porous. This porosity is necessary to allow air to pass through the unit with minimal pressure drop. The interlocking fibers of the Ultra-Web material form a web that captures particles that pass right through them. The particles are captured three different ways.
Diffusion: The random trajectory of many particles, jostled by molecules, carries them directly into the path of the fiber. Impaction: Many particles are too heavy to move out of the path of a fiber, so they slam into a fiber and stick Interception: Random air current cause particles to sweep too close to a fiber, and due to molecular attraction, the fiber grabs the particle
For optimum system performance, replace the filter every six months (before heating season and before cooling season). Adjust the schedule to your needs, but replace the filter at least annually.

Product arrived promptly. It was well packaged and a great value. I saved a lot of money by installing the filter myself, and it was very easy to install.

It's a hard to find this filter in a bricks and mortar store, so we appreciate how easy it is to order online through such a good service-oriented company. We are repeat customers.

These filters are very expensive and we use them year round. We would like to see a price reduction based on larger volume purchases.

Comments about Honeywell Replacement Media FC100A1003- 16x20:
Quite competitively priced, particularly in comparison to the company that installed my furnace and a/c system. Not only did they charge a ridiculous price for the filters, but charged me $ 30 + for installation. Glad I finally resolved myself to searching elsewhere for the filters that I see does not take a Rocket Scientist to install. Thanks for being there and having the filter I need available.

Comments about Honeywell Replacement Media FC100A1003- 16x20:
The product is pretty much overkill for my HVAC in terms of size. I went with a 5" media filter when my 1" was showing a lot of bypass (poorly designed / hack job box) I decided to install the honeywell 5" box. It took a me at least 6 hours to redo my duct work, but it was worth it in the end. After a month or so I noticed that there is much less dust around the house, and I no longer sneeze at bed time. My furnace is also happy because of the efficient filtration, yet low restriction. The squirrel cage is spotless, and I'm sure the "A" coil is too. The only down side is that its not a common filter. Its not readily available at the big box stores, and can get expensive when you do find them. I purchased 2 years worth and keep them sealed down stairs. Still worth the hassle to me, and 1000% better that the 1" filter we got with the house. Thanks IAQ!
Did you know that the nominal size of your air filter is probably not the same as the actual size? Just like measurements on lumber, the actual size of an air filter is usually slightly smaller than the nominal size.
