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

What happens here

Begin reassembly by sliding the cleaned main electrostatic collector cells back into their respective slots, ensuring the airflow arrows on the cells point in the correct direction (downwards for this unit). The red handle on the cells should align to the outside. Once the main cells are in place, reinsert the metal mesh pre-filter. Finally, slide the cover panel back onto the unit until it securely clicks into place. Power the unit back on by flipping its 'On/Off' switch to 'On'. You should hear a 'tack-tack-tack' sound and see the red test button light up, indicating the static collection is working.

Goal: Properly reassemble the air cleaner unit with cleaned filters and restore power.

so we'll get that that way right there get this one right here okay got the pre-filter hooked up now with these right here airflow going down right sucking up from there coming down and through here and then going out the bottom so just make sure those are down you can't really mess this up all right because this side right here actually is going to connect over on this far side with the electricity all right and you see that that other side is completely bare so we'll get this popped in here something that i just learned and kind of sucks is that right down here is supposed to be a whole nother set of filters right there's actually another slot this post filter slot and i need something for there so we're going to get something ordered all right but for right now and i guess that's the way it's been for the whole time for as long as i've had it and i'm sure longer because that's what people do but then you just take this there's a little tab right here that this little slot falls into that just pushes in place click that switch on test button we hear that the tech tech tech tac static is working again good to go
