How does this filter improve indoor air quality?

The Winix Filter H contains a certified true HEPA media that captures 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns, removing dust, pollen, pet dander and many other fine particulates. An integrated Advanced Odor Control carbon layer adsorbs gases and odors to help freshen indoor air. Using the original filter ensures the purifier's airflow and CADR remain at intended levels.

• True HEPA traps particles as small as 0.3 microns at 99.97% efficiency
• AOC carbon layer reduces odors, smoke remnants and common VOCs
• OEM design maintains correct fit and airflow for the 5500-2 unit

How often should I replace the Filter H?

Winix recommends replacing Filter H approximately every 12 months under typical home use. Replacement frequency can vary with air quality, pet presence, and operation time, so use the purifier’s filter indicator as the primary reminder. Swapping annually keeps filtration performance and airflow close to original specifications.

• Typical lifespan: one year for average household conditions
• Replace sooner in homes with heavy smoke, construction dust, or many pets
• Follow the unit’s filter indicator light for precise timing
