Charcoal filters are $25 @ 2 months! Can I cut generic to fit?

I have had mine for two years. For the first,I smoked and it was in the room. For the second, it has been in my new house's basement near the cat litter. I check the filters every month, and so far I've only had to blow them clean with compressed air. I think it depends on what you are asking the machine to clean, but I would not let it discourage me from buying this. really works great.

I'm sure if you ask Hamilton Beach their response would be no. These filters are easy to cut with scissors, so if you need to fit them into a smaller form, it's possible. Ideally these are used in smoke and fume extractors. I'm not sure what your unit requires, but if you only need a carbon filter, it's worth a try.

To save money on filters, try cut to fit carbon and hepa filter layers. Then you can throw out only the layers that are dirty (the carbon prefilter or the hepa lower layer) http://filter.filtersfast.com/filters/Cut-To-Fit-Hepa

Yes... A carbon filter to change every month and a foam filter to change every other month. They're not all that expensive

Greetings, do a search on Amazon for: ASIN #B002XJHGA8. I recommend the Honeywell brand filter over the generic one.

It depends on what type of filter you have. I have 2 marineland 350 w/ 4 slots each. I bought 4 of Marineland Cartridge Media Refill Penguin to put the carbon in. So the answer depends on what you have to put it in. The generic answer is as mush as you can. Change the charcoal when the water begins to smell fishy again. My 50 gal. tank goes about 2.5 months before smelling fishy with a half cup worth of charcoal.

That's the point of the filter. It will get dirty over time. If you want to extend the time between changes you may want to get a replacement filter that includes the charcoal pre-filter as it will help pick up some of the larger debris and can be hand washed.

No. The optional is for the charcoal prefilter. You should use the standard prefilter, if not using the optional charcoal one. It will make your main filter last longer.

Don't know about that brand reusable filter but you should be able to. I used a standard reusable filter on the one I had.

I would suggest going a more economical route also better quality. I use this and it is easy to cut to size and you get alot http://www.amazon.com/Value-Pack-Filter-Floss-600-square-inches/dp/B00B50UPE0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428031204&sr=8-1&keywords=filter+floss

yes there are two diffferent filters to be replaced , depending on use . one is a HEPA filter and the other is a charcoal one , looking at about $35.00 for filters . they can be found on amazon or other online sites.. filters should last about a year under normal use..

It's just a normal carbon filter like the kind that comes with air filter devices but it is a generic cut. Totally worth the cheap price.

I'll make my own filter and many more using :Honeywell Universal Carbon Air Purifier Replacement Pre-Filter, HRF-AP1 / Filter (A) . At just over $8 it is worth a try and I can get far more than 1!

I believe it is the standard number 10 charcoal filter. They should cost around $10 or less at the Amazon website

The charcoal filters are meant to be used when you don't have the access to vent the fan outside. If you already have it vented, there is no point in using them as I don't believe there would be any additional value. I hope this helps.

Check the measurements. It is usually cheaper to buy a new filter then replacing individual parts. I bought my C-900 for 290 ish New.

I forgot to replace it one year and after a few months too many, I started to smell dust even after vacuuming. Once I replaced the filter, the dust odor went away after one or two vacuumings. It's expensive, but necesary. Would love to know if anyone has had good experience with the generic version for 1/4 the price!
