Someone posted on here regarding furnace filters, Gareee? I think they
were purchased at Walmart? I'm looking for something 6' X 3', was that the
LXW? ~ jan

Yes, that would work. What should I look for? Did you say green in color?
At Walmart, right? ~ jan

Can you give me a name or color so I can identify the right stuff? It needs
to be at least 3' on one side.

I checked our local pond shop (on-line), for what I assume is the poly
fiber, he wants $6/linear foot (3' across). Outrageous!!!! I checked with
AES and they want ~ $16/for 2 ydsX3'. So not happy with our local place.

I'm pretty sure it's 2'x3'.. I tossed the poly bags they come in already.

If you go to walmart, look in the furnace filter section. They stock them in
th ebox they come in, and I'm guess they are 10 per box. The are blueish,
and come in a clear poly bag, with a white base, and black printing on them,
and are exactly $3 each. They are in both super walmarts and regular ones as
well.

Hope that helps!
