16x25x1" Washable Furnace Filter

Introducing the Cycle Air Laundry-Washable, Permanent Furnace Filter.

  • • Permanent 16 x 25 x 1 inch air filter
  • • Made in North America (Ontario)
  • • Crafted from 100% recycled materials

The filter removes from the frame for quick and easy washing. Simply unzip the filter, wash it in your washing machine, tumble dry, and your filter is good as new! Save money while reducing waste. The dryer recharges electrostatic charge, which is a game-changer versus other typical "hose-off" / "rinse-off" furnace filters. The electrostatic charge traps and holds dust particles more effectively. It also dries in a matter of minutes (usually 10 minutes on most dryers) compared to 1-2 days for rinse-off filters.

The Cycle Air 16x25x1" air filter is an innovative 2-piece design.

A solid and strong, 100% recycled HDPE frame assembles and goes inside our 2-ply filter sleeve. Optimized for airflow with thousands of micro-pleats, it balances capturing dust / allergens / debris while ensuring your HVAC equipment runs efficiently and smoothly.

Our patented "change indicator" takes the guesswork out of washes.

3 dots appears on the indicator strip to show when it's dirty! Usually we recommend a wash every 60-days or when the dots show up, whichever is sooner. That depends on a lot of factors like your home environment (and the amount of dust in the air), if you have pets, your climate, and how often your furnace or AC is running.

16 by 25 by 1-inch Air Filter

The 16 by 25 by 1-inch air filter is rated MERV 7 under ASHRAE 52.2 standards. This is generally recommended by most HVAC technicians as it effectively captures dust while not being too restrictive on your AC unit / furnace blower fan. It has an initial pressure drop (aka static pressure) of 0.17"wg. Most residential systems are rated for between 0.5" and 0.7"of h20 (water gauge) pressure drop.

Our 16" x 25" x 1" HVAC air filter is universally compatible with furnace slots, wall return vents, and ceiling returns.

Cycle Air Replacement Filtration Media / Filter Sleeves

Your HVAC blower fan should not run without a filter in place, and so for convenience you can choose to purchase a 16x25x1" filter replacement sleeve instead of having to purchase two frames. The frames are extremely durable and won't ever need replacing. The filter media is rated for 50 washes, which is about 8 years based on changing it every 60 days. 
Replacement sleeves are optional for convenience; the Cycle Air laundry-washable filter dries usually in about 10-minutes in a household electric dryer.

Made in North America matters! Our 16x25x1" air filters are made in Ontario, where quality recycled materials are transformed into our premium filters. Sustainability is at our core; we ship our filters in compact boxes that are 80% more efficient to ship than standard, disposable filters. Keeping production in North America, while cutting the box size by 80% reflects our commitment to sustainability. #WashAndReuse @CycleAir.ca
