Description
The Aprilaire 516 is a MERV 16-rated replacement media air filter engineered for use with Aprilaire whole-home air cleaner systems. Delivering near-hospital-grade filtration performance, this high-efficiency filter captures an exceptional range of airborne contaminants — from large dust and pollen particles down to fine particulates, bacteria carriers, and smoke — making it one of the most effective residential air filtration solutions available.
Designed as a genuine OEM replacement, the Aprilaire 516 ensures a precise, leak-free fit within compatible Aprilaire air cleaner cabinets, maintaining the full filtration efficiency the system was designed to deliver. Unlike lower-rated filters, a MERV 16 filter captures particles as small as 0.3 to 1.0 microns, providing outstanding protection for households with allergy sufferers, asthma patients, or anyone seeking cleaner indoor air.

Why MERV 16?
MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) ratings measure a filter’s ability to capture airborne particles. A MERV 16 rating is among the highest available for residential and light commercial applications, capturing over 95% of particles in the 0.3–1.0 micron range. This level of filtration is ideal for households with allergy or asthma concerns, pet owners, and anyone looking to significantly reduce airborne contaminants circulating through their home.
