I'm looking for an answer on this, too. I need 6 total but I think only having 2 CO units would be fine. I'd prefer to save the cost of buying them all with CO detection. Did you get an answer, Bob?

It comes with one foam, one biomax, and one carbon. These three components are the filter. I change out the carbon every month or so. The foam may need cleaning after a while, and the biomax shouldn't need to be replaced for several months unless you want to. Is this what you mean by filter?

They also sell a pre-filter sock that installs over the primary filter. I think if I was in a dusty environment I would invest in that. It is not very expensive. Just a thought. Good luck.

Yes you are correct. Two filters are in the box when it arrives at your home. Hope this helps.

You can use any carbon filter as long as the fan has a lower cfm rating than the filter that you attach it to. This fan would be great for a 110-150 cfm carbon filter.

I never use carbon in my filters, I think one pad is enough to keep the water clean, but if you have too much tanines you can use in bothRegards

Hi Dave, I honest dont believed you need so many filters. The water flow seams weak for the ratings its true. Now remember what you going after is a steady and consistent flow of water with the right bacteria and minerals fish need to stay healty. You get two of this canisters you will be a believer as well. Just know they need to get clean every 3 months. The best part you dont even know they there working because you hear nothing unlike most annoying motors, power heads are a lot of work after a while. Hope this helps.

Ther are probably different options, but I've not found them. Even at $90, getting the full set of filters is only a quarter a day. I just replaced mine after about a year, and the unit is working a lot more efficiently. I did find that if you run a hand vac over the odor sensor, it works better too.

The box holds two filters. Just like the picture shows. The MACHINE uses two filters at the same time to cover the entire area of the filtering surface. So it takes two of these filters at a time, side by side. That said please use the Carbon Filters as well as it will make these filters last MUCH longer. The carbon ones are much cheaper and they still remove much of the larger dust particles that really clog the filter and kill its effectiveness. Short answer. Buy 1 box at $24 to replace the filters the machine holds (assuming you have the same machine as me I presume they have smaller machines that use only one)- Hope that helps.

None - you order the filters separately. There are several/many different filters depending on what your application is. Simply sawdust? Chemical fumes? Buy the filters that fit your use.

Yes. See: http://www.ehow.com/how_5132511_clean-carbon-air-filter.htmlI will say though, that it's probably not worth it. You get 4 filters for about $10 here, which means that each filter is $4.50 each. Each one lasts for about 3 months, so $10 for a year of filtering... just spend $10 each year.

Only one is needed, but I talked with my friend who installed the exact same model 10 years ago and he didn't install a filter. He never has had any problems, so didn't install mine either and I haven't noticed any build-up.

I ordered them from Amazon. The Winix 115115 Hepa and 4 carbon Replacement Filter Combo Pack. Sold by Green Air. Cost was $65.95.

just google XJ - 3000 D filter. the cheapest price seems to be about 33 dollars with shipping either through Amazon or Ebay after 10 years I still have not ever changed mine. I just blow it out with compressed air occasionally. I use it mostly as an ozone generator on low with low fan speed happy new year and hallelujah which means hallow you Jah Jah was short for Jehovah, All Mighty God, Heavenly Father, father of Jesus

It comes with 2 filters. One activated charcoal filter and a hepa filter. Replacement filters are expensive. About $80 for both filters. However, the filters last two years. It is very easy to add a third cut to fit charcoal mat pre-filter in front of the activated charcoal filter. I do this and replace it every four months to preserve the original filters. It's a very nice air filter. Quiet and energy efficient.

I originally paid $59 a few years ago then when I went to re-order, I thought that the $124.95 item was wrong. No, the item is correct, the price of the IQ filters here are insanely expensive. I bought some filters directly from IQ Air today. The pre-filter cost $69 and the carbon filter cost me $99 with free shipping (on orders over $250).
