I can’t respond to a whole house filter but we have a portable floor model air purifier that we keep mostly in the bedroom. It seems to work well for sleeping at night. It is automatic in that it changes speed depending on the purity of the air. It has a HEPA filter that lasts about 9 months. It is the smaller model of the room air purifier recommended by Consumer Reports: Alen BreatheSmart 45i. Rated to clean an 800 sq ft area in 30 min. Bought it on Amazon for $400. We are very pleased with it - look it up.
Agree with the portable unit for the bedroom. We live in a wildfire area and have air quality issues most every summer. These units work well.
