does this replace one or both filters in the unit? Also, is it as effective as the original filter combination?

It replaces both. I find it to be just as effective as the original filter combo. I clean the outer screen every few weeks, and replace the whole filter (including the screen filter), once a year.

Yes, however, there is absolutely no factory support for maintenance of these filters. I have a 5300 & a 5500 and use this("washable") filter on both. Except for the "change filter" there is no way to diagnose filter performance.

Yes it does. Sometimes we switch filter brands and so far it has worked for both makes.

I believe their is only one replacement, I see that it also comes in a 2 pack. I haven't changed out the filter yet myself. Below are the links I found. Rainshow'r CQ-1000-NH Dechlorinating Shower Filter2 Replacement Filters for Rainshow'r CQ-1000 Shower Filters

The filter is integrated into the cartridge. It is not separate. There are replacements available on Amazon and usually last 1 year of use.

I am unable to answer your question specifically. My apologies. I purchased the 259112-102 filters to replace the original filter that came with the installation of our HVAC system in our chapel. The 259112-102 is working well at this point. The filter media seemed a bit thinner the the original, but again, it is doing its job just fine.

Yes. It comes with all filters. One can be vacuumed and the other has to be replaced every 6 mos. Really great unit. Works wonderfully.

I looked at both system filters and they are the same, so no difference I see.

Directions say one filter is rel\placed at 6 months and second is replaced at one year. Sorry, I do not remember which gets replaced at which time frame.

I assume your asking if the filter needed to be replaced and the answer is no. That said, after several weeks of continuous operation there was more dust on the outside of the unit than the filter. I wouldn't recommend this unit to anyone.

It comes with the initial filters. I purchased 2 replacements filters which I replaced about 4 months later. The suggested replacements filters fit, but they were different from the original ones that came with the machine. I like the machine, but hate buying the filters! I think the original filter refill is A and I bought D, or vice versa.

You need both filters. I purchased the recommended pre-filters and they are not the same and my light is on to change the filter all the time. They may be working fine but they are different. I ordered the main filter and haven't received it yet so am not sure if it will work.

Yes, there is a filter in the unit. I also purchased an extra filter to be prepared when it's time to change it. From other posts on Amazon, I believe the original filter lasts about a year. I've had it for about 6 months and haven't had to change it yet. Hope that helps!

I am not sure why, but this filter is a lower grade than the original that comes with a new unit. This filter is thinner, therefore it does not pick up dust very well. It is hard to find a good replacement. I found one at Home Depot.

Mine came with 2 filters. I think it was from a different seller , though, because the price was $24 less.

Yes it does. It uses two types of filter, one which is meant to be permanent, and one which is meant to be replaced periodically. It comes ready to go with both. In the past I simply vacuumed the replaceable filter between replacing it and that seemed to work pretty well also.

Hello, for this vacuum cleaner, you don't need the original filter. The filter is nothing more than a piece of foam and and generic filter cloth. I don't even use the original anymore. I happened to have a couple of piece filter material 12" x 6" at home, I cut it to size to use as replacement filter and it is easier to clean., Remember, the function of the filter is to protect the motor from dirt and the filter has to be relatively porous because of the strong suction. My opinion is only my opinion, not official recommended by manufacturer.

It comes with one filter, but then you need to purchase a new filter, maybe every few months or so.It comes with a schedule for when you should replace them. They are not expensive.
