        So, you pay $ 400 each for them ? I'll give you a 50 %
discount off that, Fed-ex'd overnight to you at no extra charge. Just
tell me how many you want.

I've had one gas furnace go from a rusted out heat exchanger and the
other is not far behind. Both carriers, the last of the natural draft
models. If I'd only used those bubba filters my heat exchanger would
still be fine, darn and drat it all. What a fool I have been!

Give it a rest, all the filter does on a residential system is keep the
ac evaporator from getting clogged with dust and pet hair. If the
evaporator is staying clean then the $3 filter is working.

You tell 'em. You know the longer you leave those filters in the
better job they do too. I've seen them after a couple of years.
There isn't a lick of dust getting through.

Keep it up dipshit. You're going to be up for the Darwin Award for
2007 next. You are my favorite type of customer. If you think that
cheap fiberglass spun filter protects any single part of your system
then you are dumber than two boxes of rocks. Those filters stop dead
birds, leaves and marbles. Everything else goes right through. And all
that dirt just loves to grind into the shaft and bearings of those
blower motors. Your a gem, james.
