Our scoreNot reviewed yetSCORE7.3 / 10
Our takeMERV 13 without the airflow fight, for AprilAire 1210, 2210, 2216 and the other cabinets it lists. AprilAire is phasing it out for the 3-inch UK213.The same pump without the overflow switch. We'd spend the little extra on the ULS for anything near a finished floor.
