A video on installing the regular Aprilaire filter mentions you should still use a 'fresh air filter'. Does anyone know what that is and where it goes

I believe they are referring to the regular filter(s) that are installed in the return air path. These can be in the furnace unit and/or on the return wall/floor registers. You still use them to miinimize dust/dirt in the system. Make sure you clean/replace these when necessary.

This is a filter for the Venta Ultrasonic Humidifier. That's what I am using it in. Believe they are using the term "airwasher" in how the filter helps remove particles, dust, and others from the air.

The filter itself was designed more to filter odor in the air,more then filter outside air to come inside. So the ideal set up to minimize / eliminate odor is to have the filter on the suction side of your fan / ducting and exhaust the other end outside or even just to another area away from intake side. Or if you just need it to pull fresh air into your room I would recomend buying a cone style reusable air filter and put it on the suction side.

Not sure but maybe you need an additional air cleaner? Mine is fairly new and I am thrilled with it, and am considering getting another one for the other end of my place.

In my opinion you need a pressure filter. I used the 26579 for a while in addition to the pressure filter but found it clogged up to frequently.

The one that says air clean on it is the exhaust filter. Below are links to YouTube videos showing filter change. One mistake on the first video. The narrator says it is a hepa filter.It is not the hepa filter. It is just an air clean filter that comes in the box with the dust bags. You have to buy the hepa filters separately if you want to use them. The hepa filter or the air clean filter, it's your choice which one you want to use. It's one or the other, but not both at the same time. If you are going to use a hepa filter it goes in the same place as the air clean filter. You have to remove the plastic grill that holds the air clean filter in place and then just snap in the hepa filter. The third YouTube video shows a hepa filter change. If you can't click on the links, just copy and paste one of them at a time in your address bar at the top of your screen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c-7Qw3nHNg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Veh_VPOVsDw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k9Mkqy48cE

This makes sense, you are wise to use a filter before installing the #1 canister. Also would you tell me how to vent the heater in one small room, I have windows but hate to open them, as the cold air comes in?

Aprilaire 35 is not a filter. It is water panel where water drips and evaporates and the vapors are then forced out with warm air. By filters, if you meant panels , then it is the same.

It is right behind the grates where the air comes out. You drop down the grate. The filter is right there. You wash it and put it back, or you can vacuum it from the front without removing the grate.

Do I put the pre-filter on the inside or outside of the regular filter? I don't see it written in the online manual..

It's like a car air filter. Just doubled them up. It's german made. I just cleaned mine last night and put a new nano bag into it. As long as you don't use air compressor to clean the filter I thnk it will last for a long time

I just replaced the filters in my unit and found that there are 2 types of filters to buy. One has 'silver' in it to remove mold, I'm told and the other cheeper version by $10 doesn't have silver. I'm not sure what the unit ships with. Personally, I really like the unit and can see visually every morning no dust in the air. I also sit next to one at work making a nice pocket of clean air and reducing my allergies to mold, pollin, etc. At the 2nd power setting its very quiet like a small fan on low.

Open the front of the a/c unit on the side facing the room and remove the filter by hand and clean it well with a dry paint brush to remove any pollen/lent etc., I take it outside to do this...or you can wash it under running cold water if it really needs that much cleaning, but blow it dry with a hair dryer or similar before replacing it. Then if the light is still on afterward, press the filter button and it goes off. This light comes on after the air conditioner has operated, I believe the directions said around 1000 hrs., so it's automatic, even if you have already cleaned it prior. Hope this helps you.

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.

If you Google "Aprilaire 600 you will has access to the manual and installation instructions. There are also installation videos on UTube within the listing on Google. Hope that helps. The Aprilaire 600 works for me.

I don't know for sure, but I think it might be different for you. According to my records, (written in marker on the side of my air filter box), this should be the same as Aprilaire Model # 2400 and BestAir #SG4-G (formerly available at Lowes home improvement). I also wrote down that SpaceGuard #2400 is the same. I hope this helps because I had a hard time tracking down the numbers too - especially after Lowes quit carrying my size.

Yes. My filter came as a part of a cold-air kit. The sticker is located next to the filter. I would order the optional filter color to go along with the filter. It will decrease the number of times you have to clean the filter.
