Electrostatic Air Filters
Serenity Cleaning Solutions is proud to offer these electrostatic air filters along with the Kool-Wrap covering, both of which are available through our distributor, Air-Care. The Kool-Wrap is particularly helpful as it protects the air filters’ coils from dirt, dust, and contaminants.
Speaking of air filters, “arrestance” is fancy word, which gets tossed around a lot at Serenity Cleaning Solutions. It really just means filtering capacity.
All Air-Care filters come in one of two types of arrestance—either 94% or 82%. The 94% arrestance filter provides higher filtering capacity by trapping up to 94% of particles in the air. We also offer filters with an 82% arrestance. This provides slightly less filtering capacity, but is less restrictive, allowing greater airflow through the filter.
An 82% arrestance filter would be appropriate using the following formula. If the filter square footage is less than the tonnage of the unit, we recommend an 82% arrestance filter.
How To Determine If You Need an 82% or 94% Arrestance Filter
Here's an example: If you have a 16 x 25 filter and a 2.5 ton unit, the square footage of the filter is 2.8 square feet (16 x 25 / 144 = 2.8). Since 2.8 is greater than 2.5, you are fine with using a 94% arrestance filter in this system. If the filter size is 12 x 18, the square footage of this filter is 1.5 (12 x 18 / 144 = 1.5). Since 1.5 is less than 2.5, we would recommend an 82% arrestance filter in this case.
Our Gold Frame filters are made with a premium quality extruded aluminum, gold anodized frame with a durable and attractive finish. The frame is 4 separate pieces with a single screw fastening each corner together. The frame is strong and sturdy. Gold Frame filters come only in the standard 1" depth.

Our Silver Frame filters are made from a single piece of roll-formed galvanized steel fastened together at one corner with a single rivet. This frame type is more cost-effective than the gold frame, but is not quite as strong and sturdy. Silver Frame filters are available in either 1/2", 1" or 2" depths. The 1/2" (7/16" Actual) silver rigid framed filters have 2 layers of polypropylene between 2 layers of expanded steel for improved air flow and rigidity. Our 2" rigid framed filters are configured with the same construction as the 1" Electra silver, but with a 1.5" white polyester ultra high loft impingement filtering center layer.

Flexible frames are available for applications where a rigid frame cannot be used because the filter must be bent in order to install. Flexible frame filters have a 3/8" polyester layer and an expanded metal stiffener applied between 2 layers of polypropylene and a polypropylene webbing frame which is sewn around the edge. These 3/8" thick filters fit most 1" applications.
