York Furnace Filter (High velocity)?
QUESTION:I have a York Diamond 80:
http://www.yorkupg.com/ProDetails.asp?id=29
The book that came with my York Diamond 80 says to use a "High Velocity"
filter. It says "Warning, when replacing the filter DO NOT use a type with
excessively high pressure drop. Some high efficiency filters available will
cause the furnace to operate improperly and could result in a safety hazard"
The filter that came out of the unit looks like a scotch-brite pad that you
would use to do the dishes. I cannot find a filter like this at Home Depot
and I cannot find any filter rated as "High Velocity". Can I use a 3M
Filtrete filter like this:
http://www.3m.com/us/home_leisure/filtrete/413_dust.jhtml
This filter is not labeled as high velocity.
ANSWER: You can use a pleated filter, but York cant tell you if your damn ductwork
is sized to handle a 3M..
I offered to send you one free..you juts pay for shipping, and its prob
under $2...BTW..Home Depot sells the filter too....do what you want.
Amazing....who at York do you want to talk to? No one there is in a position
any better than we are, and if you get who I think you are going to get,
they are going to refer you to your local dealer....
