IQAir PreMax Prefilter Replacement HealthPro Series for Coarse Particles

Have been using IQAir for decades. Love these air filters . They do help a lot in removing dust and allergens in the air. I like the sound of the fan blowing it’s not too loud just enough so it helps me sleep . I have tried the knock off’s and they work but not as well as the name brand. The name brand filter is better than putting up with all the vibrating and weird noises coming from the knock off’s. The filters are easy to pop in the tray the problem is getting the tray back in the machine. The IQAir does a great job of removing odor as we live in an area with many orchards and they like to burn their prunings which drive my allergies crazy. I recommend the name brand over the knock off. They last longer and you don’t have to put up with all the weird stuff that wakes you up in the middle of the night.

Filter sold directly by IQAir, works without issue. I have used repeatedly with no issue

This is a genuine OEM replacement pre-filter for my IQAir system, and it performs exactly as expected. It handles the bulk of the heavy lifting by capturing hair and larger dust particles before they reach the main filter. Fit and quality are excellent, just like the original. A reliable replacement that keeps the system running efficiently. Highly recommended.

I did not open it,

Just replaced the PreMax filter for the first time. It was pretty easy after watching the video. It fits well, works well. After the reset, it showed 9,152 hours of life. We run the unit 24/7 at speed 2 or 3, so that’s about 381 days. That timing was about right, the filter warning came on over a year after our purchase. Our old filter didn’t look as dirty as the ones others showed here, so maybe we replaced it a little early? Didn’t want to take a chance, so we still replaced it. These filters are a bit pricey, but for perspective, we replace our AC filter (MERV 8) every two months, so those actually cost more than this one. It’s still cheaper to replace filters regularly than to fix any motor. Overall, since this filter lasts a year, it comes out to about $6.25 per month, which feels pretty reasonable for clean air all year round. The only problem with ordering is the subscription max option is 6 months. Why isn’t there a 12-month or 18-month option?

Excellent just to expensive

Work good

These pre-filters work great at a reasonable cost.

Très efficace!

Exactly the right pre filter

We've been using the IQ Air Health Pro for several years now and really like the system. The replacement filters are definitely expensive. The PreMax pre Filter always has a much shorter longevity in terms of hours than the other IQ Health Pro filter components, which is a concern. However the OEM is still worth it. Used Health Pro for addressing reduced air quality due to wild fires and much more.

No mess no fuss. Easier than with the company.

Overview: I've been using the IQAir PreMax Prefilter as part of my IQAir HealthPro system, and it does exactly what it's designed to do. The filter captures larger airborne particles such as dust, mold spores, and other contaminants before they reach the main filtration stages, helping maintain overall system effectiveness. The air quality improvement is noticeable, but the ongoing replacement cost is difficult to ignore. Likes: The filtration effectiveness is excellent. It performs an important role in extending the life of the downstream filters while helping maintain clean indoor air. The build quality is what I've come to expect from IQAir products, and installation is straightforward when it's time for replacement. Dislikes: The biggest drawback is the price. While the filter performs well, replacement costs add up quickly, especially when combined with the other filters required to maintain the system. The quality and effectiveness are there, but the overall cost of ownership is substantial. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 stars – High-quality filtration and easy replacement, but the expensive replacement filters make ongoing maintenance costly.
