Can a filter be fitted if the existing slot has no secure retaining clip?

A filter that does not sit square in its track lets air pass around it.

The label directs that the filter sit square in the track with no gap at the frame, and it states: “Air that passes around a filter is not treated by it.” It states: “Improper installation can reduce airflow or damage the equipment.” and “Results in a building depend on the system, the airflow, and how well the filter fits its track.” The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction, and it can act only on the air that passes through it. The company publishes no frame, gasket or bypass test for an assembly; the frame and the seal are part of the finished filter. Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format. The manufacturing partners named on the About page are Aero Pro, AQ Filter, BGE Indoor Air Quality Solutions, Olympic International and VOLZ Filters.
