Airborne particles are attracted to an electrostatic air filter and
remain attached to it until they are rinsed away. For a new
antimicrobial air filter, order Part Number 1187389. In addition to
providing all the benefits of an electrostatic air filter, an
antimicrobial air filter also inhibits the growth of odor-causing
bacteria, fungi, mold and mildew on the filter. Both of these air
filters are sized to fit your air conditioner.
