Air cleaners using the Duracraft HEPA filter and other Duracraft air filters are still in service all over the country. Duracraft itself is no longer a corporate entity, but for years the company was a leading producer of air cleaning and filtering systems. The corporation may no longer be operating after a merger with Honeywell and a CPSC fine related to two of the company’s humidifier models, but variants of the corporation’s air filter and the Duracraft HEPA filter are still available.

Although the corporation’s filters are still required by many people who have Duracraft air cleaner systems in their homes, many local retailers have stopped carrying them. Favoring cleanable filters by Bemis, Honeywell (who actually acquired the corporation in 1996), and Aprilaire and considering that the company no longer manufactures air filtration systems requiring hepa filters, they believe they will not sell enough filters to warrant keeping them in stock. For the consumer who needs replacement filters, this leaves little choice beyond searching for an online retailer.
Fortunately there are a great many of these. Simply typing “Duracraft filters” into your favorite search engine is bound to deliver a score of online retailers who carry that brand of filters or filters designed by third parties to fit Duracraft’s air filtration systems. Filter Solution dot com, for example, is one site that carries a complete line of genuine filter models. Filters for the company’s air cleaners and humidifiers are offered for sale singly or by the case. The site even offers a volume discount when you purchase several filters at once. Filter Savings dot com and Total Vac dot com also offer Duracraft air filters.
The tale of Duracraft’s effective demise is an unfortunate one, but the fact that the company no longer manufactures its original line of air filtration products should not mean that those who bought and installed Duracraft’s systems should be unable to replace their HEPA filters.
For those interested in Duracraft’s humidifier and air cleaning products, the company lives on as Honeywell Consumer Products, Inc. and continues to manufacture a new line of heaters, humidifiers, fans, filters, and air cleaners that use very similar to the original Duracraft HEPA filter.
