As Far as I can tell, filter item 102 10 10 00 is the IQ pre filter #1. Item # 102 10 20 00 includes the IQ pre filter #1 plus an IQ Gas filter which includes PreMax pre-filter media and a 2.2 lb layer of MultiGas™ granulated activated carbon & impregnated activated alumina.

See if you get the same answer http://www.iqair.com/support/replacementfilters click your model - I saw the same filter for both models. However I saw 102-10-20-00 on http://www.allergybuyersclub.com/iqair-compact-plus-combination-gas-filter-and-pre-filters.html . What I would do is pull out the current filter and the model is on the side. If it is not, the name of filter is there. If it a PreMax™ Pre-Filter then it is # 102 10 10 00. If it a IQAir Compact Plus Combination Gas & Pre-Filter then it is #102 10 20 00.

The IQ air filter is a highly specialized, highly effective filtration system. Any technical questions about filters should be answered by a tech rep at IQ Air.

Sorry Arthur...I think you're right! I ordered a spare filter back in June and thought nothing of it. Then, I went to change my filter this morning and the one they sent me was wrong. My old filter has an opening on both ends and the new one does not. Plus, the part number is different. Maybe it's a new design but I'm not putting it in until I find out. Thanks for making me aware of this. I wouldn't put your's in either. Please let me know if you find something out from the company.

Not sure but, I think the "A Filter" refers to the fact that it is only ONE filter but my husband cuts them in half and so you can actually get two usable filters from one box. This is the first time we ordered the "A PLUS FILTER" which refers to the fact that it is supposed to be more odor reducing and stronger somehow. My husband says he does not notice a difference but I think I do. So we will keep buying this version.

Hello Mark, I am not sure but in using this product it did not have the heft other filters have. It was a bit flimsy and you may want to use two together for better results. At one time I had bought a case of good pre-filters on ebay but have yet to find that brand again, tho I have not made a a thourough search as yet. Hope this helps.. :)

I think the only difference is the color...I do not like the Starkey filters. They are too small and plug up quickly. Just sayin'

I haven't had a need to buy an air filter yet, but according to this parts website I found (see link), there are actually two air "elements". On the parts list, they're both listed as item 133 and can be viewed on page 7 of the schematic. It also appears you can order these parts direct from this site. If you'd like to search for the part yourself, try performing a google search on the model number if the blower and the literal "air filter" or "air element". Good luck!

I looked In Amazon to see what the difference Is. It seems like all these filters are the same. The difference Is that 1 filers 100 gallons and the other filters 200 gallons and then It looks like they give a model number for 1 filter and another for the 3 filters but all these fit the same way. Good luck!

I went to Honeywell, WalMart and Amazon and searched all of them. I have a small one and wanted another like it for another room, but they no longer made it, so I opt for a little bigger one which I am glad I did. Watch they are on sale quite frequently. I think I paid $129.00 or so for the bigger one and it is wonderful. Depends what you want it for. They both have changeable filters on them and a 5 year HEPA filter.

I don't know but at a quick glance the specs seem to be the same. In the past when I've seen small differences in product numbers like this it was because one was made to sell in a particular big box store. There may or may not be a difference in the product. A big box store that offers a price match may or may not recognize the two models as being the same for price match purposes.

The box I purchased had two filters in it. The prefilter material is a little taller than the filter in my 50250 but it wraps exactly around like the original. I trimmed it to exact height of filter and have about 1/2 the filter height left. So with the two pack, I am hoping to save the clippings from the two to put together a third. I wished they made them to fit. no cutting required.

All I know is that I have an older model of the Holmes room humidifier. it doesn't have any code on it. anyway, the filter was too tall, but it did fit. so I cut it in half (very hard to do with chic hands. but I did it) and now I have 2 filters for the price of one! other than all that, I'm happy w/it.

Well the model I have is B30. It works great with mine. When you look at the one you are asking about and the one I have, they look the same but I am unsure if the filter would work for the one you have. I am sorry that I could not be more helpful.

There is a different in size and weight of body. See dp reviews on both for details. Low pass filter might also be different.

Robert, it is hard to tell with this fan. I have had another air filter and could notice the difference. I purchased this because of styling, the oscillation, and auto shut off features. When I run the fan I usually turn on the Ion feature. Good luck with your decision.

I think you might have posted this as a general question. From your posting, I can't even see which filter you purchased. You should direct your inquiry directly to customer service. Better yet, call them at 888-280-3321....Alan
