My Furnace Filter Is Weird, But Works!...Should I Go To Disposable Filters??

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Upon closer inspection of the cleaned electrostatic collector cells and the unit's cover, it's discovered that there are typically additional 'post-filters' meant to be installed in a separate slot below the main cells. The back of the unit's cover provides a troubleshooting guide and model number (F50E1182) for the Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaner, but this specific unit is missing these post-filters. The presenter plans to order these missing components for future installation. The cleaning frequency for these systems is typically every 1 to 6 months, depending on household factors like pets, children, or smoking.

Goal: Assess filter cleanliness and recognize any missing system components.

Tools and materials

  • Electrostatic Collector Cells — The cleaned main filters
  • Metal Mesh Pre-filter — The cleaned pre-filter

What they say

pretty well in my opinion okay so on the back of the cover is actually a troubleshooting plate from honeywell this is electronic cleaner right type f50e1182 all right and it actually just gives you some steps you go through if something's not right with it but most part it seems to work all right so here we go we got some handles on these things you've got this arrow right here that says airflow right you've got this on both of these there's two of these and this is essentially just a a bunch of louvers i guess that just will catch a ton of stuff right and we got we got this very clean well if you look on the other side there actually are these little wires down in here as well too that i'm assuming connect to the electro part of this thing and actually collect dust and zap it or whatever but i mean you can see i didn't get it a hundred hundred percent clean right there's still a little bit of dust on there but i did what i could i mean there's a little bit of plastic on here for the most part this these things are all metal construction now these little pre-filters right here you can see it's just wire i mean these are like i think any other kind of washable type filter it says that you could wash these in water they don't recommend detergent or soap or anything and personally i just like air blowing them out i don't want to scrub them i'm not trying to vacuum them i just am going to blow them out and hopefully try to keep them the same way they are for as long as possible all right and then i just was looking inside this thing because it's i was looking this up and it said that there was post filters as well but i actually didn't see anything on those so they're not in there so we might have to order some more of these or some different kind and get a post filter but what do you guys think i was looking on the website it said depending on your lifestyle and pets and kids and everything you have if you're a smoker whatever you want to clean these every one to six months so that's a wide gap i'm kind of shooting the middle this time was a little bit longer than three months just because you know you got a lot of stuff going on i kind of put things on the back burner sometimes so this was about four months worth of
