So the answer is it kind of depends on your system. I really hate that kind of answer, but sometimes that happens. It depends on your duct system, it depends on your setup, depends on all those factors into making sure you have the right filter. But regardless of the filter, the most important thing you can do is change that on a regular basis. If you go 30, 45 days and there's no dirt or anything on that filter, Uh, that is the indication to know the air is bypassing that filter because it's not even dirty a little bit and it's getting to the unit and we have another problem.
