Comments (5)Your furnace will be either 21" or 24.5" wide. The static on the pleated filter @ 2000cfm (5 ton airflow) on the 21" model is .27 and on the 24.5" model .20 . On the cleaneffects it is .34 on the 21" model and .26 on the 24.5" model. This all assumes new/clean. Your dealer wants to use v.speed w/ an air cleaner because the v.speed can handle more static pressure and still deliver airflow. Five ton systems are tough to put air cleaners on . You almost need one mounted on each side of the return can, but no one does. Another option, if it is a horizontal system and you are using the 21" cabinet, is to back the 24.5" cleaner off of the return and 'transition' to the furnace. It helps some w/ the increase in static....See Morefavorite quotes about books and reading

Comments (25)I'm currently reading Passion for Books: A Book LoverÂs Treasury of Stories, Essays, Humor, Lore, and Lists on Collecting, Reading, Borrowing, Lending, Caring for, and Appreciating Books. I don't know if it's famous or not, but I laughed out loud when I read Umberto Eco's "How To Justify a Private Library". [For]people who possess a fairly sizable library (large enough in my case that someone entering our house canÂt help but notice it; actually, it takes up the whole place), a visitor enters and says "What a lot of books! Have you read them all?" At first I thought that the question characterized only people who had scant familiarity with books... But there is more to it than that. I believe that, confronted by a vast array of books, anyone will be seized by the anguish of learning and will inevitably lapse into asking the question that expresses his torment and his remorse... In the past I adopted a tone of contemptuous sarcasm. 'I haven't read any of them; otherwise, why would I keep them here?' but this is a dangerous answer because it invites the obvious follow-up: 'And where do you put them after you've read them?' The best answer is the one always used by Roberto Leydi: 'And more, dear sir, many more,' which freezes the adversary and plunges him into a state of awed admiration. But I find it merciless and angst generating. Now I have fallen back on the riposte: 'No, these are the ones I have to read by the end of the month. I keep the others in my office,' a reply that on the one hand suggests a sublime ergonomic strategy and on the other leads the visitor to hasten the moment of his departure....See MoreQuotes, 1/13/15
Comments (5)My Kindle has changed the way I spend my free time, and while some of it is used in reading, most of the time, I use it as a computer. While my husband is using our desktop, I use the Kindle to do almost anything I want , i.e., send and receive email, visit web sites, surf the 'net, etc., and read, too . As long as I have wifi, I'm good. Even my local car dealer has it available for folks getting their vehicles serviced. Still, nothing will ever replace turning the pages of a book!...See More
