It comes with the white (regular) filter. I also purchased the fine filter and change them when the flow gets below 30%.

Hi George,It comes with basic filter for fesh water. For Mechanical Filtration: Pre-Filter, Chemical Filtration: Chemical Cartridge (carbon)I find the best feature for this Fluval G6 is EC. Many people just added aquarium salt to their fish without knowing the exact conductivity for their fish habitat. It is many benefit for your fish if you provide the appropriate conductivity for your fish.Enjoy,Dan Trinh

I have the G6 and it came with a standard prefilter and the chemical cartridge filled with Fluval fine charcoal. Make sure that you read up on all of the other types. The nitrate reducing ones are not to be used in Saltwater/Reef aquariums. Also, the chemical cartridge can be opened from one side so that you can empty it and refill it with your favorite media.

it comes with a micron filter for water polishing and a carbon filter... but you can open the chemical filters and fill them with anything you like. I bought an extra micron filter and an empty chem filter off of Amazon... so that when I make changes its really quick. Just pop the new ones in then clean the old ones for next time. In my experience you have to change them at least once every two weeks.

This unit uses 3 hepa filters, which come with it new, and 1 pre-filter also included. If you buy replacement hepa filters on Amazon look for the 2 pack. It's barely more than the single filter price.

Allison, Yes it does come with the filter. I had it for a month or so and it stopped working. I had to get a refund. Not very good. My advise don't get it.

Filters came with mine although I know that at least one reviewer said theirs came without. Maybe it depends on which seller you buy from?

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.

the conversion kit does not come with the filter. after reading the reviews and the other answers to this question, i thought that it did come with the filter cardridge. be aware it does not....

There was one included when I bought mine. What you can do when that filter gets clogged is purchase a $4.00 vent filter (the blue ones) and just cut it to fit the unit. Works pretty well for $4.00. Saves a ton of money.

Contact John Chen at, sales@ispringfilters.com. He can give you exact items needed. They also sell filter supplies for this unit and can answer any tech questions you may have. I rate them 5 stars, higher if there was such a thing I've been their customer for 3 years and have had this system and have had excellent service from them.

The unit comes with one filter however I would suggest that you buy a pack of two replacements at the same as you place your order.

Hello,I am also wondering if this item comes w/ the superclean cartridge. It makes no sense to buy it from here if it doesn't since it comes to the same price if you had to add one seperatly from the manufacturer. Can someone please confirm if it comes w/ the superclean cartridge or not.Thanks,George

I'm wondering the same thing. I cannot find any replacement filters that specifically state they are for this model. It's discouraging that the Fabreze website does not even show that they carry these little filter machines anymore. I would suggest you do not buy the unit until you get an answer. I'm going to be contacting the Fabreze company about this matter. Maybe you should do the same. Hopefully, they'll respond.

It comes with 2 filters that last about 6 months. You have to replace them with new ones ...bought on Amazon. We still love ours almost a year later.

It comes with the filter. I'm happy with my purchase. very powerful. just will need to replace the filter every 6 months for sure.

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.

I got this a while ago. I believe it came with maybe a half dozen filters. You can buy a package of I believe one hundred filters in a supermarket for about 2 dollars. Make sure you get the #2 filters.

The unit comes with all the needed filters. You won't need to buy any filters until those need to be replaced.

You get a packet of 500 filters in the box, or at least I did. You can get refills on Amazon.
