What Makes This Filter Different?
Unlike standard furnace filters that only trap particles, the PGAPXCAR2020 uses patented Captures & Kills® technology. After capturing harmful particles in its MERV 13 media, an electrical charge actually destroys the DNA of viruses, bacteria, and mold - preventing them from reproducing in your system.

- ✓ Also compatible with Bryant models using same cabinet

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between PGAPXCAR2020 and AGAPXCAR2020?

Most homes need replacement every 8-12 months. Homes with pets, high dust, or allergies may need changes every 6-8 months.
Will this fit my Carrier/Bryant system?
