Lightweight and durable, this eco-friendly filter is reusable and easy to install, making it a smart upgrade for cleaner, healthier indoor environments. ## Description Whynter ARC-IHF Intake Hose Pre-Filter compatible with Whynter portable indoor air conditioner models: ARC-110WD, ARC-122DS, ARC-122DHP, ARC-12SD, ARC-12SDH, ARC-131GD, ARC-14S, ARC-14SH, ARC-141BG, ARC-143MX. An important addition to compatible dual-hose portable air conditioners, this filter can be used to reduce the intake of impurities, such as dust and dander in your home or office. This washable intake air filter will help extend the life of your Whynter dual-hose system. Review: This filter is already making a positive difference in the AC unit perfomance. It has caught seeds, feather and other stuff that was surely getting into the AC before. It has to be an improvement for the internal working of the AC. Happy to add it to the outer ring and watch it work. Get one for your AC. Review: Fits, works, but I agree it should come with the air conditioner. It is pricey for a plastic ring with some screen on it. I added foam at the outside vent as a pre filter "Duck Brand 1285234 Replacement Air Conditioner Foam Filter, 24-Inch x 15-Inch x 1/4-Inch, 1-Pack"($2.66 cdn). Used scissors and cut out a piece to fit the outdoor vent. This was to keep bugs out of the vent tubing. ## Features - PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER FILTER: Removes particulates and harmful irritants from the air and purifies it before recirculating it into the room - IMPROVES AIR QUALITY: Designed to filter through a mesh window by collecting dust particles allergen build-up - EFFICIENT DESIGN: This washable intake hose pre-filter measures 5” in diameter and its durable construction allows for a seamless process of air purification - WASHABLE AND REUSABLE: Reusable air filter that can be washed as needed. - COMPATIBLE AIR CONDITIONERS: This filter is compatible with Whynter portable air conditioner models: ARC-110WD, ARC-122DS, ARC-122DHP, ARC-12SD, ARC-12SDH, ARC-131GD, ARC-14S, ARC-14SH, ARC-141BG, ARC-143MX ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00URTELE0 | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | No | | Colour | Beige | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (776) | | Date First Available | 1 April 2015 | | Included Components | Pre-Filter | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 40.8 g | | Item model number | ARC-IHF | | Manufacturer | Whynter | | Material | Plastic | | Part Number | ARC-IHF | | Product Dimensions | 25.4 x 25.4 x 12.7 cm; 40.82 g | | Special Features | Portable | | Style | Pre-Filter | ## Images ![ARC-IHF Washable 5" Diameter Intake Hose Pre-Filter for Models: ARC-110WD, ARC-122DS, ARC-122DHP, ARC-12SD, ARC-12SDH, ARC-131GD, ARC-14S, ARC-14SH, ARC-141BG, ARC-143MX - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518QfNiE-WL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does this come with instructions as to where to place in the setup? thank you.** A: It can be placed on the fixture connected to the window kit or directly onto the intake port on the back of the unit.

The filter can also help keep pests out along with keeping dust and debris from entering the unit.

It is pricey for a plastic ring with some screen on it.
