Nano Filter FAQs

Austin, Texas based Nano Home takes pride in offering high-quality, American-made air filters that go above and beyond standard filtration capabilities. We focus on producing MERV 8, 11, and 13 rated filters, which provide the most efficient and highest protection for home HVAC systems.


What are MERV Ratings?


MERV ratings (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) serve as a metric to gauge the efficiency of air filters in capturing and retaining airborne particles. Our MERV 8, 11, and 13 filters are engineered to meet various filtration needs, offering progressive levels of particle removal efficiency.


Which MERV level filter should you choose?


MERV 8 Filters: Ideal for General Filtration Needs

Filters with a MERV 8 rating provide effective filtration for general household use. They efficiently capture common particles such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores, contributing to cleaner air and reducing potential allergen triggers. Our MERV 8 filters act as the first line of defense against airborne contaminants, promoting a healthier indoor environment.


MERV 11 Filters: Enhanced Filtration for Allergy Relief

Filters with a MERV 11 rating provide superior particle removal capabilities. They capture smaller particles with greater efficiency, including finer allergens like bacteria, finer dust particles, and some viruses. Individuals suffering from allergies or respiratory sensitivities can benefit significantly from MERV 11 filters, as they effectively reduce airborne allergens, promoting clearer air and relief from allergy symptoms.


MERV 13 Filters: Maximum Filtration for Exceptional Air Quality

Filters with a MERV 13 rating offer the highest level of particle filtration. They are designed to capture even tinier particles, including smoke, fine dust, and some airborne pathogens. MERV 13 filters provide excellent air quality, making them an ideal choice for individuals with respiratory conditions or those seeking the purest indoor environment possible.


Carbon Filtration: Eliminating Odors and Volatile Compounds:


We also offer an additional carbon “Odor Elimination Layer,” which is designed to deliver exceptional performance in removing allergen particles, reducing odors, and improving indoor air quality. In this article, we will delve into the specific benefits of our MERV-rated filters, complemented by carbon filtration, for a healthier and more comfortable living environment.

Incorporating carbon into our filters further enhances their capabilities. Activated carbon, renowned for its adsorption properties, excels at capturing and trapping odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). When air passes through our carbon-enhanced filters, odorous compounds are effectively adsorbed, resulting in a fresher and more pleasant living environment.


Benefits for Health and Comfort:


Scientific studies consistently highlight the impact of indoor air quality on our well-being. By investing in our MERV-rated filters with carbon filtration, you can experience a range of benefits:


  1. Reduced Allergy Symptoms: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) emphasize that improving indoor air quality by using filters with higher MERV ratings helps reduce exposure to allergens. By capturing allergen particles effectively, our filters provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, and congestion.

  1. Improved Respiratory Health: High-quality filtration plays a vital role in maintaining respiratory health. Our filters remove airborne particles, including fine dust and allergens, reducing the risk of respiratory issues and promoting better lung function.

  1. Enhanced Overall Well-being: Clean air contributes to a healthier living environment, leading to improved sleep quality, increased productivity, and a general sense of well-being.
