    The bigger filters have more surface area. The pressure drop across them is less. A 20x25x5 air filter typically has about a .15” pressure drop across it. I’ve seen 16x25x1 pleated filters with as...

    The filter is too small in the sense that it is not the correct size to allow full airflow through the furnace. Not that it fits in the space. A filter can only flow a certain cfm at a given fpm. ...

    On a tough ferrule I always cut it with the dremel half way through, then use a straight screw driver and twist it apart. It’s just soft brass.
