Our scoreNot reviewed yetSCORE7.3 / 10
Our takeThe MERV 11 sold almost everywhere, formerly Allergen Defense. 3M's capture figures beat the MERV 11 minimums; no resistance figure is published.Our default for a furnace, air handler or dehumidifier lifting water up to about 10 ft, with the overflow switch the bare UL lacks. Plan on motor noise and a check valve that needs cleaning.

Watch out forn/aThe 15 in the name is shut-off head, not working lift; the manual's 75% rule puts planning lift near 11 ft. Remove the cardboard insert or the pump will overflow. Warranty is 12 months from purchase.
