Fluke 985 Airborne Particle Counter

Why it worked

The video addresses a common household maintenance task with a clear, comparative demonstration. The use of specialized equipment (particle counter) adds credibility and visual interest, while the surprising results create intrigue and encourage viewer engagement.

Summary

The creator compares the particle filtering capabilities of a MERV 8 and a MERV 12 furnace filter using a Fluke 985 Airborne Particle Counter. The results show that while both filters are similar for larger particles, the MERV 12 is more effective at capturing smaller particles.

Last time I tested the particle count in a MERV 12 furnace filter. This time I ran the exact same test with a MERV 8 The results were surprisingly close on the larger particles, but the MERV 12 still had the edge overall. Particle Reduction Comparison 0.3 μm • MERV 8: 45% • MERV 12: 5% 0.5 μm • MERV 8: 55% • MERV 12: 12% 1.0 μm • MERV 8: 71% • MERV 12: 25% 2.0 μm • MERV 8: 84% • MERV 12: 53% 5.0 μm • MERV 8: 96% • MERV 12: 90% 10.0 μm • MERV 8: 97% • MERV 12: 97% The biggest surprise? The MERV 8 did an incredible job on the larger particles. The MERV 12’s advantage is supposed to be in the smaller particle range, but these real-world results were definitely interesting. What MERV rating are you running in your home?
