A method may include, during a filter fouling test of an air filter, determining if the air mover is operating below a first predetermined filter testing speed, in response to the air mover operating below the first predetermined filter testing speed, operating the air mover at the first predetermined filter testing speed and determining an indicator of filter degradation of the air filter responsive to the first predetermined filter testing speed, in response to the air mover operating above the first predetermined filter testing speed, operating the air mover at a second predetermined filter testing speed significantly greater than the first predetermined filter testing speed and determining the indicator of filter degradation of the air filter responsive to the second predetermined filter testing speed, and determining if the indicator of filter degradation is below a respective filter failure threshold.
