Honeywell makes a PD monitor.

Maybe somebody makes a furnace filter monitor based on pressure differential, light passing or the element being gradually bowed over time. Is the ultimate pass/fail standard the upstream/downstream pressure ∆? If I never replace a filter, the airflow will tend toward zero and the furnace high limit switch will open, yes?

If your waiting until they bow, your waiting TOO long!
let me rephrase. . . If they still look fine and are not bowed after 6 months and you can still sort of see through them, is there any reason to replace them? How 'bout after 12 months? Do filters clog up even if they look perfectly OK?

every three months

I use the NaturalAire Standard pleated filters, MERV 8. The filter media is charcoal grey when I pull it out to be replaced (white when first installed). Take care.

Just change them monthly.
HD 16x25x1 paper frame furnace filters Any suggestions on when to replace these, based on appearance or how bowed they become over time, or how well they pass light? It seems to me someone made an embedded whistle for filters of this type that would start to whistle when the upstream and downstream pressure delta was enough. Anyone know of a company that makes these? Thanks.
