Jeff May, Carl Grimes or Others, Can you Advise?

[Guest guest]

My building manager has agreed to put a filter where the six dryers in

the laundry room are venting--into the courtyard. I'm on the second

floor and my bedrooms and bathroom are over the courtyard and I've not

only been smelling BOUNCE at all hours of day and evening but I'm

getting a lot of lint. They are actually breaking code this way and

need to vent to the other side of the building, which they had

initially done, but tenants were complaining about how hot the laundry

room was as a result.

My building manager is actually pretty decent. Today he saw me and

asked why I was busting his chops etc and I said because I have asthma

and he said he has asthma too etc. Anyway he asked if we could try a

filter and I said yes that might make a lot of difference but it has

to be Merv 8. (That popped out of my mouth from reading Jeff's posts.

I don't really know what Merv 8 is).

He said if I researched it--and the super added in, it should be about

18 by 24 as that is the size of the vent.

Do you have a recommendation for a good filter in this size vent in a

laundry room where six dryers constantly in use are venting? They will

accomodate me I think as they know I can get the city in because of

the code violation and they would rather put a filter in.

THANKS!!!!!
