2. Konfiguracja i instalacja
Proper installation is crucial for the effective performance of your furnace filter. Always ensure your HVAC system is turned off before attempting to replace the filter.
2.1 Identifying the Correct Filter Size
Your Atomic Compatible Furnace Filters have a nominal size of 20x25x5 inches. The actual dimensions are slightly smaller to ensure a proper fit within the filter slot. The actual size is 24 3/4 inches in length, 19 3/4 inches in width, and 4 7/8 inches in thickness.
2.2 Kroki instalacji
- Locate the Filter Slot: The filter slot is typically found in the return air duct of your furnace or air handler.
- Turn Off HVAC System: For safety, turn off the power to your furnace or air handler at the thermostat or circuit breaker.
- Usuń stary filtr: Open the filter access door or panel. Note the direction of the airflow arrow on the old filter. Carefully slide out the old filter.
- Wstaw nowy filtr: Orient the new Atomic filter so that the airflow arrow on its frame points in the same direction as the airflow in your ductwork (typically towards the furnace/air handler). Slide the new filter into the slot until it is fully seated.
- Bezpieczny dostęp: Close and secure the filter access door or panel.
- Przywróć zasilanie: Turn the power back on to your HVAC system.

3. Działanie
Once installed, your Atomic Compatible Furnace Filter operates passively as air passes through your HVAC system. The filter's MERV 8 pleated media effectively captures dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles, contributing to cleaner indoor air. No active user intervention is required during normal operation.
4. Konserwacja
Regular maintenance, primarily filter replacement, is essential to maintain optimal HVAC system performance and indoor air quality.
4.1 Harmonogram wymiany filtrów
The frequency of filter replacement depends on several factors, including:
- Okupacja: More people in the home can lead to more airborne particles.
- Zwierzęta domowe: Homes with pets typically require more frequent filter changes due to pet dander.
- Allergies/Asthma: Individuals with respiratory sensitivities may benefit from more frequent changes.
- Local Environment: Areas with high pollen counts, construction, or pollution may necessitate more frequent changes.
As a general guideline, inspect your filter monthly and replace it every 30 to 90 days. During peak heating or cooling seasons, or if you have pets or allergies, more frequent replacement (e.g., every 30-60 days) may be necessary.
4.2 Kontrola
To inspect the filter, turn off your HVAC system and remove the filter as described in the installation steps. Hold the filter up to a light source. If you cannot see light through the filter media, it is likely clogged and should be replaced. A clean filter will allow light to pass through easily.
