A washable air filter is also known as a Electrostatic Filter, permanent air filter and a lifetime air filter which will depend on your location you live at. They are manufactured from a non-corroding aluminium and are designed to be vacuumed off or taken outside and hosed off when needed.

Air filters for furnaces are built to last the life of your heating system with proper maintenance and have a filtration capacity of10 times greater than your typical disposable filters. A good electrostatic filter is rated at 90% peak dust resistance or higher using the ASHRAE 52.1 Protocol and will have an initial air resistance rating of 0.12" W.G. or lower.

They do not require electricity as there name suggests but they create a natural static charge is built when air passes through the special layer of self-charging mono-filament woven polypropylene. This results in dust and allergens being attracted to the filter.
