SHIPPING/STORAGE COST
=
50% Savings
Pleats are Packed
12 per case and Panels are
Packed 24 per case in the Same
Size Carton
(Photo - right
shows the same number of
filters) |

LABOR
(INSTALLATION/REMOVAL)
AND DISPOSAL COST
=
25% or More Savings
Pleats are
typically changed 4 or more
times per year, Panels are
typically changed 3 or less
times per year. |

FILTER DAMAGE LOSS
=
$$% Savings
Since Panels have
no cardboard frame, they are
damaged less often than
cardboard framed Pleated
filters. |

 |
COIL CLEANING COST
= 50%
Savings
Panels are self-sealing and
prevent the bypass of dirty air,
Coils stay clean twice as long.
Pleats do not self seal and
allow dirty air to bypass around
the filter. (Photo -
left shows a gap between pleated
filters and the self-sealing
panels with no bypass) |

MOISTURE RESISTANT
=
$$% Savings
Panels are moisture resistant -
Cardboard framed Pleats are not
and will deteriorate causing the
filter to collapse. (Photo -

pleated filter) |

MOLD
RESISTANT
=
$$% Savings
Mold has become the asbestos of
the 21st century -
any avoidance of mold promoting
materials could save lots of
$$. (Photo -

HIGHER REAL
WORLD EFFICIENCY
=
$$% Savings
Bio-terrorism,
SARS, Allergies; these and other
issues make higher efficiency
filtration whenever possible a
great investment. Tri-Dek
filters have achieved MERV 10
-11 efficiencies in
independent real world (in
situ) testing.
