Rolf, 48%

[Paul Kupelian]

Rob,
It just replaces the ones you have.  Mine is a standard 16 X 24 X 1.  They
are expensive, usually about 12 dollars, but I have found them on sale ate
Chase-Pitken and Home Depot for 8.99, so I stock up then.  If you have
allergies they are wonderful for keeping allergens down.
