Anden Replacement MERV 11 Air Filter

MERV 11 Replacement Filter for Anden A200V1 and A300 Series Units

The Anden 5717 is a MERV 11 media replacement filter built for Anden's A200V1, A300V1, and A300V3 dehumidifier models. Like the rest of Anden's replacement filter line, it's designed to maintain filtration performance without adding meaningful resistance to airflow through the unit.

Anden recommends replacing the 5717 every 6 months after initial installation to keep filtration performance and airflow consistent. The filter access panel comes off without tools, so replacement is a quick maintenance task rather than a service call.

Key Features & Benefits

• MERV 11 Efficiency — Captures a high percentage of particles in the 1-10 micron range for equipment protection.
• Dual-Layer Synthetic Media — Upstream E-Layer (electrostatic) and downstream M-Layer (mechanical) work together for filtration.
• E-Layer Electrostatic Enhancement — The electrostatically charged upstream layer captures smaller particles that mechanical filtration alone would miss.
• Pre-Assembled Design — Arrives ready to install — no assembly, cutting, or reinforcements needed.
• Easy Access Installation — Anden dehumidifiers use an easy-access filter panel for quick swaps.
• 6-Month Replacement Interval — Anden recommends replacing this filter every 6 months after initial installation.

Who Should Use This Filter

The Anden 5717 is the correct replacement filter for A200V1, A300V1, and A300V3 dehumidifiers. Facilities running these models on a regular maintenance schedule should keep spares on hand so a filter change doesn't mean downtime waiting on a part. It's not a fit for Anden's other capacity tiers, which use their own model-specific filters.

MERV 11 Filtration and Anden's Dual-Layer Design

Anden's dehumidifier replacement filters use a dual-layer, 100% synthetic media design. The upstream E-Layer is electrostatically enhanced, attracting and capturing smaller airborne particles beyond what simple mechanical interception can catch, while the downstream M-Layer captures larger particles by physical interception. Together, the two layers reach a MERV 11 rating — a finer level of filtration than the washable MERV 8 filter media used standard across Anden's smaller dehumidifier tiers — while still maintaining adequate airflow through the unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What models does the 5717 fit?

The Anden 5717 is built for the A200V1, A300V1, and A300V3 dehumidifier models specifically. Check your unit's model plate before ordering, since Anden's other dehumidifier tiers use different filter part numbers.

What does MERV 11 mean?

MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) 11 means the filter captures a high percentage of particles in the 1-10 micron size range. That's a meaningfully finer level of filtration than a MERV 8 washable filter while still allowing enough airflow through the dehumidifier to maintain its rated performance.

How often should this filter be replaced?

Replace the 5717 filter when it shows visible debris buildup or reduced airflow through the dehumidifier, or follow Anden's recommended schedule for your specific model and operating environment. Operations running dehumidifiers continuously in high-particle environments, such as active grow spaces, typically need to replace filters more often than a light-duty schedule calls for.

Is this filter pre-assembled?

Yes, this filter arrives fully assembled and ready to install, so no cutting, framing, or reinforcement is needed before it goes into the unit. Just remove the old filter through the access panel and slide the new one into place.

Do I need tools to replace this filter?

No, the filter access panel removes without tools, and the 5717 is pre-assembled and ready to install. Simply pull the old filter and slide the new one into place.
