Aprilaire 1213 Media Upgrade Kit for Model 2120 and Model 2200 Air Cleaner
This genuine factory original Aprilaire 1213 Filter Media Upgrade kit is simple to install. In the factory packaged box you will receive the following: 1- Permanently installed metal frame that assembles in minutes without tools, 1- Aprilaire model 213 MERV 13 Media filter which will replace your old style Aprilaire 201 filter or any other filter that you have been using in your Model 2200 or Model 2120 air cleaner, and 1- Door Spacer which may be required depending on the date that your air cleaner was manufactured as well as the door style your unit has. Use of the upgrade kit and it's 13 MERV filter will yield a 65% improvement in air filtration, according to Aprilaire. The potentially frustrating job of changing your air filter now becomes much easier because this Aprilaire 1213 Media Upgrade kit will eliminate the use of the black plastic pleat spacers (finger like combs that currently keep the folds of your air filter separated) as well as the white plastic housing that surrounds your filter to give it integrity. Once the upgrade kit is installed you will use the Aprilaire Model 213 filter as your replacement from that point on. The Model 213 filter is much easier to install than the old style Aprilaire 201 filters. The Model 213 filter is also 13 MERV which, according to Aprilaire, removes nearly twice the contaminants as the old style 201 filter. If you're not sure that you can handle the installation of this upgrade kit yourself, we ask you to visit the Aprilaire website and watch the installation video that they have linked in the Owner's Center.
