Whynter Activated Carbon Replacement Filter

This arrived on time. Bought it in Amazon's "super-saver shipper" deal,

in other words bought a few other items to make it qualify and saved on

shipping. This was great.

This fit in my Whynter ARC-14S 1400 btu dual duct portable AC.

There are tiny gaps at the edges that worry me a bit, but i don't think

that is probably avoidable with this replacement carbon filters, as they

even have a porosity throughout, as part of their structure, which

represents equivalent space, or gaps through which air flows somewhat

unfiltered.

I have zero idea how much a carbon filter of this type actually accomplishes,

and would love to know. i have a $500 air purifier in which is around ten pounds

of actual activated carbon, which i have to replace every year or so, and that air

filter is "convincing". but this Whynter product is an AIR CONDITIONER not

an air filter, so i guess having the added little carbon filter cannot hurt.

if anybody knows more about how much these filters really do, if anything,

i hope they post here.
