what is the difference between these and the round 2097 p100 paper filters. they have the same rating but is one better than the other?

I have found that the 3m ones seem to last longer and provide more filter action, even though they are rated the same. I get the 3m ones, because I deal with spray paint in my art and it's very bad if you inhale it. The difference is not big between these two, but safety is important.

two differences, the 60926 is a cartridge / filter combo; the 2097 is a filter only. Secondly, the 60926 does multi gas protection (organic vapor/acid gas/ammonia/Methylamine/Formaldehyde) where the 2097 does only organic vapor.

They seem exactly the same in regard to functionality. The only difference I can tell is that this one has a hard plastic shell and the round one does not. This would be useful in cases where liquid can get on the filter or stray sparks could land on it and cause damage (in uses with welding). This one is protected against the elements and will therefore last longer. I'm sure the round filters are fine if well taken care of and not used in environments where they can get damaged. Hope this helps.

The AP 110 filter is just for sediments. We have well water and frequently have grit in the water. I believe the other cartridge (AP117) will filter chemical contaminants. If the water does not have a bad taste or smell, the sediment filter AP110 also cheaper will be OK.

The black filters are better per many recommendations. If you have any concerns about contaminants get the extra filter for arsenic and such. It slows the filtration but pulls out heavy metals.

I bought the permanent filter, I prerer it. You could use normal paper basket filters as well.

i do not know what the difference is between the 2 cleaners. i would assume that the filters would probably be the same. you might try looking on their website (and then order from amazon) or call the company.

I've purchased a four pack and a two pack. Links to both. Not sure what the difference is other than the quantity difference. Both work.Sprite Hand Held Filter Cartridge 4-packSprite HHC-2 Replacement Shower Filter, 2-Pack

I Really don't think there is a difference. I good pop filter is a good pop filter. Either it works as advertised or it doesn't. This one works.

I don't see a "MERV". It says the rating is "1000 MPR" (micro performance rating). I believe when I purchased these filters I had googled the rating and read that the rating system had changed. Can't quite remember the particulars. Try googling? BTW - I swear my husband's breathing has improved since I started using these filters. He suffers from COPD.

Different casing and method, this uses a pleated media, the 2091 uses a loose-woven-type media. Functionally? This one offers better protection to the filter itself (as previously mentioned, particularly from welding sparks) and is easier to leak-check thanks to the push-down seal function, but they both provide the same filtration.

I recommend the Chemex folded square filters. I have not tried any other type.

http://www.filtrete.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/FiltreteNA/Filtrete/Resources/FAQs/#w5The difference is the level of filtration. There's Standard, Advanced and Maximum. Check the specs and capacities directly at the 3M's site above. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure. The bottom has the same diameter as a standard paper filter, and it's slightly shorter. Not sure if that helps....

Hi, I wanted to update this info. In looking at all various pricing of these filters, I must say that the quality and price of these, are the best in what's out there!! I'd say that they're worth it!! I change mine often.. I live in dusty Arizona!

I'm sorry Ethan but I do not know the other model, so I can't compare. This model has been excellent for my astma, I use it in my office. The is another purifier brand, IQAir, http://www.iqair.com/, that I think is better, although more expensive, that I use at home.

Clear filter, 007M, is the prefered choice and priced higher. UV coating can slightly distort coloring and its benefits are debatable.

I'm not 100% sure, but it probably is the same filter. The filter (from Amazon) is made by Pur so the "P" probably represents "PUR," and is most likely their way of keeping track of part numbers. I hope this helps.

If all the filters are original PUR* replacement filters, the filter medium will be the same. Someone has posted that the PBSS filter is inferior to the others, but I see no data to back up that assertion. The difference is in the amount of water they can filter before recommended replacement and the flow rate. The "universal" PBSS filter is rated at 100gal. capacity and 0.5GPM flow rate. The 4396710 is rated 200gal. capacity and 0.5GPM flow rate. The 4396841 is rated 200gal. capacity and 0.85GPH flow rate. Strangely, both the 100 & 200 gal. capacity models are recommended for 6 months replacement. You would think the 200gal. models would last longer. Some whirlpool refrigerators offer what's called "fast-fill" systems, which dispense the water almost twice as fast as "normal" systems. It stands to reason that the 4396841 would be best if you want/need the higher flow rate. It also stands to reason that the lower flow rate models probably filter better since the cartridges (and presumably the filter mediums) are exactly the same size (educated opinion). I have decided on the 4396710 for my refrigerator. I researched a lot for this answer, I hope it helps.
