Filter Type	Lifetime Washable Passive Electrostatic Filter: The CZ Infrared’s Passive Electrostatic Filters are made from fine spun plastics designed to allow for more air to pass between the spun fibers. How it works — Air flows between the fine plastic edges of the spun plastic fiber and creates a static charge – much the same way shuffling your feet on the floor creates an electrostatic charge – which attracts smaller particles much more efficiently than a filter made from a different material and different design but with the same size fiber. Because the filter does not need to be as dense to filter the same amount of particles, more air is allowed to pass between the spun fibers.	Lifetime Washable	Lifetime Washable	Lifetime Washable	None
