While HVAC techs typically recommend against MERV 8+, there "is a mountain of owner testimony that MERV 11, 12, and even 13 filters have worked just fine in their systems for years. As well, an often-cited comprehensive independent test of MERV 8 to 13 filters' effects on HVAC airflow and energy consumption (a proxy for how hard the equipment is working) concluded that even "if no accommodations are made for the greater pressure drop of high-MERV filters, air flow and energy penalties are not likely to be severe—at least, not until the filter is loaded with dirt."
Thus manufactures and techs are probably more on the cautious side to be extra sure. Again, don't let it get loaded with dirt before changing.

Is MERV more important than FPR? What is the FPR for the arm and hammer op listed? Cant find it. Thanks.
Edit
Just directions to reports article Home Depot uses FPR but should be the same meaning for filtering for MERV.
But MERV 8 does not = FPR 8?
