Filters for your Winix

Winix Air Purifier Filter Replacement

Compare Winix replacement filters by fit letter, guard type and the air problem each one targets. Match your purifier’s size, then decide between the standard filter and versions built for pollen, pets or smoke.
Filter S – 1712-0096-00 replacement filter for everyday Winix air care needs in bedrooms and small rooms
The baseline filter for compact Winix units: a three-stage design that traps dust, pollen and household particles so everyday air keeps moving clean. Choose it when the room needs steady filtration without an added guard layer, and swap it on a normal schedule so auto mode readings stay trustworthy.
Filter S +AllergenGuard — added pollen and dander defense for allergy season in pollen-heavy homes
Built on the Filter S fit with an added allergen guard layer, this version targets pollen and fine dander that drift through bedrooms during high-count weeks. It suits spring allergy season or a child's room, while the plain Filter S remains the sensible pick once counts fall and running cost matters more.
Filter S +PetGuard — the Filter S choice for homes managing pet hair and dander
Pet homes cycle hair and dander through the intake every day, and this Filter S variant adds a guard aimed at those heavier household loads. It works best in the living room where animals sleep nearby, keeping odor and visible particulate levels steadier between routine filter changes.
Filter S +SmokeGuard replacement filter for kitchens, grills and smoke-prone rooms
Cooking smoke, grill exhaust and wildfire haze carry finer particles than ordinary dust, and this SmokeGuard version of Filter S is built for those jobs. Use it in kitchens or rooms left open during smoky weeks, working alongside the carbon stage already inside the unit to keep the air noticeably clearer.
Filter A – 115115 standard replacement filter for continued dust and pollen protection in bedrooms
Filter A – 115115 is the dependable standard option for its fit range, maintaining continued protection against dust and allergens in rooms used every day. It is the straightforward choice when you want proven capture performance and a predictable replacement cycle, without paying for an extra guard layer you may not need.

Filter A +PetGuard — wider-fit filter for homes with shedding pets and dander year-round

Pet owners get the wider A-line fit plus a guard aimed at hair, dander and the odor that settles into upholstery. It suits the room where animals spend most of their hours, cutting down on the dust that gathers on shelves and vents between cleanings, and it keeps the change schedule tight.

Filter A +SmokeGuard — A-line filter for kitchens facing smoke and strong odors after cooking

Smoke and strong cooking odors need more than basic mesh, and this Filter A SmokeGuard version adds targeted defense alongside the unit's carbon stage. It earns its place in kitchens and dining areas where fry-ups, grills and burnt pans leave a lingering smell long after guests have gone home.

Filter H – 116130 high-efficiency filter for faster cleaning in larger rooms and offices

Filter H – 116130 is the high-efficiency option in this lineup, designed for strong air cleaning and smooth circulation in larger spaces. Pick it when a bedroom, study or open office needs faster particle reduction and your unit's fit range accepts the H size, rather than settling for a smaller filter's slower turnover.

Filter D3 – 1712-0101-02 exact-match filter for compatible Winix purifier models in your home

Filter D3 – 1712-0101-02 is the exact replacement for its compatible Winix models, keeping filtration performance where the manufacturer intended it. It is the sensible choice when you want a true model match rather than a close fit, so sensor readings, airflow and the change interval all behave the way they did when new.

Filter O – 1712-0110-00 odor-capture filter for kitchens, entryways and pet areas

Odor reduction is the entire purpose of Filter O – 1712-0110-00, which is built to capture the smells that hang around kitchens, entryways and pet corners. Run it where freshness matters more than anything else in the room, and pair it with regular particle filtration if dust is also a concern.

Filter U – 1712-0094-00 value filter for basic cleaning across everyday rooms and halls

Filter U – 1712-0094-00 is the value choice for basic purification, handling common indoor pollutants at the lowest cost per change in this lineup. It fits households running several units at once that want routine maintenance kept simple, predictable and affordable across bedrooms, hallways and utility spaces.

Where a fresh filter makes the difference

Different rooms fail for different reasons. Match the filter to the space so a fresh swap changes what you actually notice.

Bedrooms during high pollen weeks

Pollen counts climb in spring and again in fall, and a bedroom window lets that load settle on bedding overnight. A guard-focused filter keeps capture strong through the worst weeks, so mornings start with clearer air instead of a stuffy, irritated nose.

Homes with pets and dander

Hair and dander are heavier than pollen and cycle through the intake all day. A pet-focused filter with the right fit keeps living rooms smelling fresher and cuts the visible dust that collects on vents and shelves between your usual cleanings.

Kitchens and grilling areas

Frying, grilling and burnt pans push fine particles and strong odors into the air fast. A smoke-focused filter with the carbon stage already in the unit keeps the smell from drifting into the dining area and settles it before guests notice.

Living rooms with heavy dust

Open floor plans and daily traffic stir up a steady supply of household dust, especially in rooms with carpet. A standard particle filter on the correct fit holds the baseline steady, so shelves and surfaces stay cleaner between your usual weekly wipe-downs.

Whole-home upkeep across several units

When several units run through the house, running cost matters as much as capture. Buying matched filters across bedrooms and hallways, and choosing value sizes where needs are basic, keeps yearly maintenance predictable without weakening the rooms that need the most.

Budget upkeep for older purifiers

Older units still clean air well when the filter is fresh, and the cheapest per-change option keeps them in service. Value filters handle common indoor pollutants at a lower cost, which makes sense for utility rooms and spare bedrooms where loads stay light.

Three ways to choose

Match the filter to the air problem

Base filters for routine particle capture

Standard S, A and D3 filters handle dust and pollen with the same three-stage structure. Pick these when the room's air problem is ordinary household particles and you want a predictable replacement cycle.

Guard versions for pets, pollen and smoke

Guard versions add a targeted layer for the problem you actually have: AllergenGuard for pollen, PetGuard for dander and odor, SmokeGuard for cooking and wildfire haze. Pick by the problem you notice most.

Odor-focused and value filter sizes

Odor-focused Filter O and value Filter U solve different goals: one chases lingering smells, the other keeps particle capture affordable. Filter H steps up efficiency when a larger room needs faster cleaning.

Owner notes

What shoppers say about filter upkeep

Questions buyers ask

Straight answers before you order

Check the model number on your unit or inside the filter door, then match the letter: S, A, H, D3, O and U each fit a specific set of Winix models. If your purifier shipped with a Filter A, the A-sized replacement is the correct path, and the guard versions share that same fit.
PlasmaWave is Winix’s low-voltage ionization step that reduces airborne pollutants while producing much lower ozone than conventional ion generators. Nothing in it is consumed, so you only replace the physical stages: the pre-filter, the carbon layer and the True HEPA media that traps 99.97 percent of fine particles.
Guard versions add one targeted layer on top of the same base fit, aimed at pollen, pet dander or smoke. The standard filter still captures everyday dust and allergens, so the upgrade pays off when that specific problem keeps returning in the room. Otherwise the base version does the routine job well.
Most households get the best results swapping every few months, sooner if auto mode runs constantly, if pets are present, or if pollen and smoke are frequent. Use the unit’s filter indicator rather than counting months, since it tracks actual run time and tells you when capacity has genuinely dropped.
A guard version makes sense when a bedroom faces seasonal pollen or a living room holds pet odor, because the added layer targets that one problem. In a room with ordinary household dust, the standard filter delivers the same core True HEPA performance and keeps your yearly running cost noticeably lower.
Winix sells direct through its U.S. site, and the brand is widely stocked by Home Depot, Walmart, Amazon and Costco. Prices vary between those retailers, so compare before you commit, and confirm the filter letter matches your unit so a sale price never leads you to the wrong fit.
