Why it matters
The Trion Air Bear 259112-105 MERV 11 Media Filter is a replacement media filter for a whole-house air cleaner cabinet rated MERV 11.
MERV 11 is the usual allergy upgrade: it catches most pollen, pet dander and mold spores, and part of the 1 to 3 micron range.
The listing says it is for the Air Bear Cleaner Purification Systems; the replacement number on the cabinet door is the surest match.
This listing is the 16x25x5 size; order by the size printed on your old filter's frame.
The Trion listing names 3 filters per box.
Media cabinet filters are made for one cabinet family; match the maker's model number on your cabinet door or old filter, not just the nominal size.
Compared with the Trion 255649-102 MERV 8 Media Filter: MERV rating 11 here vs 8.
