AC filter material

Post by geo »

Hello brothers
Going down to the boat Saturday and going to be hot I was wondering if I can take the filter out, clean it and put it right back in or does it need to dry? Guessing it would probably need to dry
Thanks

I’m curious about that as well and if anyone has tried any of the RV filter replacements? I’ve seen ones you can custom cut to size.

My 405 has a metal mesh screen that serves as original ac filter which i would wash and shake out what water was left and finish patting it down with a toweland reinstall and use immediately. But a few years ago I also started adding a piece of filter material and this is trapping way more particles and keeps the coils way cleaner. When this is dirty I'll just cut a new piece and toss the dirty. The metal mesh and this is working great together. ...Torjim 12" x 120" MERV 8 Air Vent Filter, Easy Cut to Fit Air Vent Filter for Home Floor, Ensure Air fresher Air Vent Filter for Ceiling, Air Conditioner, Grilles, Air Vents https://a.co/d/j8RCZRR
