Repeat purchase · keep CADR honest · buy Canadian chassis first
Canadian-first: pick the chassis before the consumable. Start with a Made-in-Canada Dupray Bloom or AllerAir when it fits your room and budget — brand-channel filters keep those units honest. When you need a high-CADR living-room box on short notice, the imported Levoit Vital 200S-P pairs with the Vital 200S-RF filter below. After a smoky week, pre-filters load first. Match the exact model code, then prefer Ships from Amazon / Prime so you are not waiting on a grey-market pack.
Intervals below are manufacturer-style stubs. Smoke, cooking, and pets shorten them. Verify the SKU printed on your current filter against the Amazon.ca title. We do not invent Made badges on filter packs — the table lists imported SKUs that ship on Amazon.ca today. This is not medical advice — a dirty filter just moves less air.

The 300 series is the most common bedroom unit we see. Buy the pack that names Core 300-RF so the gasket actually seals. Observed listing shipped from Amazon.ca.

Matches the imported Vital 200S-P on our buy-Canadian HEPA page. Pet-mode units load carbon faster. Keep a spare so you are not running a dirty core through the next smoke plume. Do not confuse this with the smaller Core 200S-RF.

Genuine Honeywell HEPA Filter R. The Insight HPA5250BC takes two of these plus a separate HRF-AP1C carbon pre-filter. The older HPA300C chassis is unavailable on Amazon.ca and used three of the same cartridge — do not stock three unless you still own that box.

Levoit Core 300-RF and Vital 200S-RF filters every 6 to 8 months, Blueair F2MAX every 6 to 9 months, and Winix Filter Q, Coway AP-1512HH and Honeywell Type R HEPA filters about every 12 months. Change sooner after heavy smoke.
No. Only wash or vacuum the parts the maker calls washable, such as the Winix FineMesh pre-filter, the Blueair fabric sleeve or the Coway pre-filter.
No. The Winix 5510 and 5520 take genuine Filter Q (1712-0123-00). Filter H belongs to the older 5500-2.
Two genuine HRF-R1C Type R filters, plus a separate HRF-AP1C carbon pre-filter.
We list genuine filters only. Off-brand media can leak air around the frame, which quietly lowers the purifier's real CADR.
