The FR405 is the complete replacement filter for the Austin Air Allergy Machine Jr. Air Purifier as well as the Austin Air Baby's Breath Air Purifier. Austin Air filters are unique in the industry in that they are the only ones to offer a comprehensive 5 year pro-rated warranty. When compared with the filter replacement cycle of other top brands, this brings down the overall cost of ownership.
Every filter comes with a pre-filter in either black or white. For white, sandstone, pink, or blue units, a white pre-filter is needed. For black, silver, or midnight blue units, a black pre-filter is needed.
Changing the filter is an easy process that only needs to be done once every 5 years or so based on typical use.
