received my Premium Healthy Living filters--no indication of 2200 mpr on them??Is this legit??

Dear Doyle - same problem here - generic 3M packaging with no clue as to MPR rating. This could be significant as the lowest rated MPR may be 1/2 of the price of the highest rated filter.

The filters I received have 2200 mpr on the front label below "Elite Allergen reduction filter".

Same here. No idea if it's legit. Mine mentioned the year 2009 which is pretty disappointing. I searched on the part number printed on them "34-8702-9702-4" without finding anything. Actually printed on the filter is only "high performance filter" which matches neither the pictured description or the "premium healthy living". Mine also have numerous holes (about every square inch) in the plastic cover. Makes me wonder how well they've aged since 2009 exposed to air. There's also a suspicious sticker over a barcode (51141-90101). I couldn't remove the sticker without destroying the barcode, but it's just transparent enough under a bright light to read it.

The cover paper inside the package does say 2200 mpr on mine. Yours doesn't?

I can confirm your findings, I have two boxes (6 each) of Filtrete Premium Healthy Living Filter that do not contain mpr data. I am checking with 3M and will get back to you.

Pay no mind to Camelgirl--I'm a chemist, and I know why it matters. I think you'll probably have to email the manufacturer of the filters, I couldn't find it anywhere either.

Dear D. Lester:No, no MERV rating anywhere on the item nor on the packaging/box.Said filter is a basic, fiberglass-type of filter.BTW, I purchased one case of these filters, there was suppose to be 12 in the case (case count of 12), but the box, undamaged and unopened, only had 11 filters in it.Good luck.Sincerely,Bill Bochynski626-524-4392

I see that the 350 pack is sold and shipped by Amazon and the 2450 comes from another seller. Elsewhere on the web prices are all over the place for these filters... from sensible to bonkers!

Did you double check that the new filters are properly in place? I would take them out and put them in again. Otherwise, call the customer service number for assistance at 1-800-541-6645. I hope this helps.

The MERV rating is 11. The MPR rating is 1100. An MPR range of 1000 to 1500 is within the 11 MERV rating. I found this information on the Filtrete website.

Well I order the filter on line......and the company gave me a call....to validate what I was purchasing indeed matched up to the make and model of my machine on hand. If and when I order filters again, the company has a record. The filter I purchased fits and works as designed. I guess make sure you phone number etc are on point. Mr. Matt

The case my 6 filters came in is labeled "High Performance". I used to buy my filters individually from the heating contractor that installed my Geothermal system. But his price per filter started at about $50 each. When he next wanted $60 per filter I started to look elsewhere. This contractor does annual "tune ups"of my system and says that I am buying the same filter that they were selling me previously.

Carol- I do think that there is a misprint. When I got my composter it came with one extra replacement filter and it looks just like the 7320 filter. Hope this helps

Well... there is a lot of information readily available on line regarding these filters. Everyone has their own level of "skeptic-ity" that they must deal with and mine is on the high side by nature. I have been using Berkeys for more than ten years now and remain a big fan of these filters. I have three of them sitting in my kitchen at this moment and use them everyday - between humans and animals, they are in constant use. In the Y2K non-event, I bought these for my employees, family, and self. As my kids aged and moved on to their own homes, I bought Berkey units for them, too. I think that I have probably purchased 20 of these things over the past 13 years for friends and family. I know of no other similar system that is as effective or economical - with a decades long track record. Period. My units all have the charcoal and PF-2 filters. To surpass the performance of these devices one would need to go to some distillation apparatus or complicated reverse osmosis systems. Some good links found in a brief search: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=sFfLbeXDav8 http://www.nourishingtreasures.com/index.php/2012/10/10/does-the-big-berkey-water-filter-really-work-i-take-out-my-microscope-and-find-out-review-and-giveaway/ http://www.cookinggodsway.com/big-berkey-water-filter-system-review/#sthash.onPULfR7.dpbs http://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/berkey/ http://www.consciouswater.ca/berkey-water-filter-test-results/ Anyway, I remain a big supporter of these filter systems. I have no financial interest in any of these systems and have purchased most of them off of Amazon. I am an MD - Ophthalmology and Alternative Medicine. Good luck in your search for better water! Whether you buy a Berkey or some other brand is your choice - but, do SOMETHING to obtain good water!

Dear Sharon, When I did locate the filters last year, I found that they cost almost as much as a new unit, so I bought a new one. Really hard to throw away something that works; built in obsolescence to the max. And I suppose I will do it again next year.

Yes - it appears to truly be OEM filters. The packaging is the same as the filters provided by my sleep clinic - except for the Lot # and the Ref #. These filters are slightly thinner than the filters I received from my sleep clinic. The packaging incudes this wording: Lot 140521. REF 1029331. RP Ultrafine Filters 6 pk. For use with the following products: System One, M Series, SleepEasy, BiPAP C Series, and BiPAP A30/40. Manufactured for: Respironics, Inc., 1001 Murry Ridge Lane, Murrysville, PA 15668 USA. The Bar Code # is: +H90610293311/$140521D

That was my second route to handle my issues . I called the "Manufacturer". . They informed me that they don't produce any models with the model # I read to them from the tags. I also gave them the serial # ,and was informed there was no such number allocated from their company. Both these tags were said to be fraudulant... So of course their was no warranty to go back on. I truly hope you look to purchase a purifier somewhere else to avoid what I had to go through.

Looking for them at a local store, the ratings HAVE changed to only about four ratings. They no longer use the 1000, 2000 "performance ratings" They use only 2 (I think 2) 4, 7, 9 and 11 "FPR." The 1000 that I bought last year appears to be consistent with (pictures what it should filter out) a 7 (seven) rating, not 11. The 9 or 11 might be the old 2000 rating, but not the 1000 pictured in this listing. The seller needs to UPDATE the picture as I would be/am hesitant to purchase without knowing for sure which filter rating "FPR" number it really is. Really have liked the ones I've used, though I change them monthly. Helps keep inside furnace clean. Looking for them at a local store, the ratings HAVE changed to only about four ratings.
