A filter system comprising:
- at least one support strut defining an opening;
- a filter received in the opening defined by the at least one support strut and being supported by the at least one support strut;
- and
- a grid cover comprising a front wall and a pair of opposing arms extending rearward from the front wall at an inward angle, wherein the opposing arms project inward towards each other from the front wall, wherein the pair of opposing arms of the grid cover overlie at least a portion of said at least one support strut and are disposed between said at least one support strut and the filter, wherein the grid cover is removable from said at least one support strut,
- wherein the front of the filter engages one of the pair of opposing arms of the grid cover such that the grid cover functions as a shim between the filter and the support strut.

A method of assembling a filter system comprising:
- placing a filter in an opening defined by a support grid, wherein the support grid includes a plurality of struts;
- and
- placing a grid cover on the support grid, such that an arm of the grid cover extends at an inward angle and is sandwiched between the filter and at least one of the plurality of struts, and a front wall of the grid cover is adjacent a front side of the filter, wherein a front of the filter engages the arm of the grid cover such that the grid cover functions as a shim between the filter and the support strut.
A grid cover for a grid of a filter system, the grid including a plurality of struts defining adjacent openings in which adjacent filters are received, the grid cover comprising:
- a front wall;
- and
- a pair of opposing arms extending rearward from the front wall at an inward angle, wherein the opposing arms project inward towards each other from the front wall, and
- wherein the pair of opposing arms are configured to clip onto one of the plurality of struts of the grid and be disposed between the one of the plurality of struts and the adjacent filters received in the adjacent openings of the grid,
- wherein the opposing arms project rearward and inward towards each other from the front wall to define an interior sized and shaped to receive the one of the plurality of struts of the grid,
- wherein the pair of opposing arms are configured to engage the fronts of the adjacent filters such that the grid cover functions as a shim between the filters and the support strut.
