Just got 3M ac filters for window acs, which have the removable screen filter. I have to cut to fit, but how do I then attach to the ac screen filter?

I actually use a different filter that i place on top of the screen. I understand that there is no way to attack the filter that is why i just place over the filter. This type of filter (Filtrete) I cut and actually cover the window where the air blows. I am deployed and the the dust enters the AC. In order to privet dust from entering the room, I have to tape the filtrete over the the window that blows the cld air inside the room. I change the filtrate every two weeks and that's how fast the filtrate accumulates the dust and pollen. It does help though, I have weak lungs, and so far it does help clean and trap those dust particles in the air. The color white turns gray over a span of two weeks. It doesn't look very neat but i use it for the purpose of really filtering the air in my room.

We didn't fasten ours. Just put it in, then popped the plastic filter screen back in over it. If you have the kind of filter screen that pulls out of a slot, you might have to fasten it. I'd use a little bit of double stick tape at the corners to tape the disposable to the permanent screen.

I didn't remove my window screen. Matter of fact, I find that it keeps bugs from climbing up the intake hose. As added security against bug antics, you could take a roll of window screen cut to the size of the hoses and clamp them over the end to give you double protection. BTW, I love this unit and it's worth every penny.

The only filter mine had was some screen below the power supply. I guess you can make your own from a furnace filter or something.

We have different size vents, but you can easily cut the filters to fit. If you have velcro tape, you can attach it to the inside of the vent and the filter will stick preventing it from falling into the vent.

the back end is a plastic attachment. You can cut out where you wish to fit the filter.

Hi. From what I could gather from the instruction, the filter screen is a rinse and reuse item. No replacement necessary. I imagine if you used it so much that you just totally wore it out, you would just replace the while thing. Otherwise, just rinse, it seems.

Line up the valve openings on the wall mount with the filter wings. Gentle push up with a turn of the filter body. This should seat and engage the new filter. It does not screw in. Just a firm push and turn. Hope this helps.

This is more of a question than an answer but I think that you wouldn't want to use this as a pre-filter along with regular AC foam filter because that would be too restrictive. I am wondering if this carbon filter by itself would be too restrictive for an AC, blocking the intake of sufficient air. Did you try it, and if so how did it work out? The only carbon window AC filter I've found is made by Nordic Pure (15x24 cut to fit), and it's pricey at about $84 for 6 filters. It's a carbon layer bonded to a white polyester layer.

There are two and the bar that fits in filter. I can't find them here locally. This is my only option.

The filter is mine is tight enough to stay in place. I would suggest getting an inexpensive furnace/air conditioner filter, cut the filter material to form a pre- filter in front of the carbon filter. Make it long enough to loop over the top (and perhaps bottom). I did this but didn't have to loop it around, just taping it in place. In this way the expensive filters will last longer, since large size particles ( &gt; 5 Microns) are caught first.

Not so much a filter but it is more of a thin screen that slides out. The screen is easy to pull out and very easy to clean. It's a good air conditioner it works well.

I agree that cutting the pre filter is a pain. You have to measure and cut it to fit, but I guess it's supposed to work. I also vacuum the original filter. To be honest I don't notice the difference.I wish I could find an air purifier that worker liked my long lasting last one that I bought at Lowes.....but that was about 4 years ago and can't find one like that any more.

It should attach from the back, there should be a piece that perfectly surrounds the AC buttons and then once you attach that it should be flush with the main dash insert. If you don't have that plastic piece that perfectly surrounds the AC buttons/housing you may need to get a replacement kit as it could be a missing part. Good luck buddy.

This filter is specifically for a central forced air furnace system. most window AC units I've seen are quite a bit smaller, and a different material.

I am not the seller of the pre-filters. They were easy to cut myself to accommodate my particular model. I suggest doing it outside. The pre-filters, I believe, are a charcoal composite and are a bit messy to cut.

If you unscrew the end-thingy with the little screen/filter in it, you can buy a hose converter at a hardware store and with it screwed in, you should be able to attach it. Of course, maybe the filter you want to use will fit the threads of the spout as is. I took 2 different hose adapters home because not sure which one would fit, and returned the one that didn't.

Yes this is a Universal cut to fit pre-filter. You will cut the material to fit your specific filter. It will work with your unit.
