White-Rodgers ACM1000M-108 Air Cleaner

The White-Rodgers ACM1000M-108 is a high-efficiency media air cleaner cabinet designed for residential and light commercial forced-air heating and cooling systems. This unit is the direct replacement for the legacy ACM1000 model, offering a physical footprint of 16" x 20" and a rated airflow capacity of 1000 CFM. Built with a heavy-gauge galvanized steel cabinet, it provides a rigid housing for the included MERV 8 media filter, effectively capturing airborne contaminants while maintaining low static pressure across the heat exchanger. For contractors performing retrofits or new installations, this unit ensures superior indoor air quality (IAQ) by trapping dust, pollen, and debris before they can foul the evaporator coil or blower motor. The ACM1000M-108 air filter system is engineered for durability and simple maintenance, featuring a reversible door for flexible installation configurations. Ensuring high-performance HVAC air filtration, this cabinet is an essential component for protecting system longevity and optimizing airflow efficiency in 16x20 duct configurations.

Key Benefits

• Universal Compatibility: Serves as the official ACM1000 replacement, allowing for seamless swap-outs without extensive ductwork modification.
• Optimal Airflow: Rated for 1000 CFM, ensuring minimal pressure drop to maintain blower motor efficiency and system SEER/HSPF ratings.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: The galvanized steel media air cleaner cabinet resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity under high static pressure.
• High-Efficiency Filtration: Equipped with a MERV 8 filter to capture large and small particles, significantly reducing buildup on internal HVAC components.
• Easy Maintenance: Features a toolless filter access door for quick media replacements during routine service calls.

Common Questions

Is the ACM1000M-108 compatible with my current ACM1000 installation?
Yes, this model is designed as the direct technical successor to the ACM1000. The dimensions and mounting points are engineered to match existing configurations for a straightforward replacement process.

What is the maximum static pressure drop for this media cabinet?
The cabinet and included MERV 8 media are designed to balance filtration efficiency with airflow, typically maintaining a low pressure drop at the rated 1000 CFM to prevent airflow restriction issues in the plenum.

Can I upgrade the filter media to a higher MERV rating in this cabinet?
While the unit comes standard with a MERV 8 filter, the 16x20x4 housing can accommodate higher efficiency media, provided the HVAC system's blower can handle the increased static pressure associated with denser filter materials.
