Developed by a former NASA engineer, it delivers ≥90% efficiency at capturing 0.3 micron particles without restricting airflow. Independently tested and SGS-certified, it fits perfectly with IQAir modules and boosts total system efficiency to 99.99% when paired with a Crystalline HEPA filter. This durable, easy-to-install filter is the smart choice for millennial professionals seeking top-tier air quality and peace of mind. ## Description Product description Independent testing shows 90% particle capture efficiency for a Crystalline prefilter alone. Air Purifier Total System Efficiency increases to 99.99% when used in combination with a Crystalline HEPA Filter. Tests performed at realistic purifier airspeed of 240 m3/hr. Air Purifier Compatibility: PureIllusion Crystalline Prefilters are compatible with all IQAir HealthPro Series purifiers, including the Plus, Standard, and Compact models. XE variations are also compatible. HEPA efficiency measured at 0.1–0.3 µm—the toughest range for HEPA. Below this, diffusion increases ultrafine capture, including ~0.003 µm—no hype, just physics. *Chart values based on continuous purifier operation at the same speed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year Review: Fits IQAir HealthPro Perfectly - First time I’ve purchased a non IQ Air filter in 17 years or owning my IQAir Air Cleaner. What prompted me to try the PureIllusion filter was a price increase to an already expensive filter along with now having to pay shipping charges. The IQAir supplied filters have always been topnotch in performance, fit and on time shipping so the PureIllusion has big shoes to fill. Anyway, about the name, Pure Illusion! Who chose that name? From Miriam Webster, the definition of illusion is: Definition of illusion 1a(1) : a misleading image presented to the vision : OPTICAL ILLUSION (2) : something that deceives or misleads intellectually b(1) : perception of something objectively existing in such a way as to cause misinterpretation of its actual nature The product is a Pure Illusion? I certainly hope not. Perhaps a rebranding is in order. About the product, the PureIllusion HealthPro pre filter. It is sturdy in construction, feels about the same as the IQAir filter and as I had mentioned fits perfectly. After starting up my HealthPro there were no strange odors or signs of anything amiss. Since I just now installed the filter I will post and update later about its performance. Starting with a pre filter as my first non OEM experiment seemed pretty risk free. Next I’ll try the odor and VOC filter when the HealthPro signals a change is needed. Still debating about the HyperHepa replacement and that decision will be based upon the performance of the PureIllusion filters. UPDATE 8/22 The Pure Illusion IQAir pre filter is working great. My air monitor shows zero change from the time an OEM IQAir pre filter was in service. I detect the same airflow and noise from OEM filter. My air quality PM2.5 is exactly between 0.0 to 2 as it always has been. The higher value appears when my house is being cleaned or multiple people are around. For me this is now my go to pre filter for my IQAir Healthpro Plus. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely... PureIllusion Crystalline is a direct-fit filter replacement system for the IQAir HealthPro, IQAir HealthPro Plus, and IQAir Compact air purifiers. The IQAir HealthPro comes from the factory with the IQAir PreMax and IQAir HyperHepa.

( Hooray.. Added bonus information! ) The IQAir HealthPro Plus comes from the factory with the IQ Air Pre Max, IQ Air V5 Cell, and IQ Air Hyper Hepa.

You will want to purchase two PureIllusion Crystalline Stages (Stage 1: Pre-Filter and Stage 3: Hepa) Thank you for your question! Have a fantastic 4th of July weekend! **Q: Does this work with GC model?** A: Thank you for a great question Loki! This Crystalline model (Stage 1: Prefilter, PIC-IQAH-F1) is designed for IQAir HealthPro Series Air Purifiers. The GC Series Air Purifier uses an H11 Hepa rated filter as its first filtration stage. While the Crystalline Stage 1 (PIC-IQAH-F1) looks the same as a GC Stage 1 filter, it is important to know there is a significant difference. Crystalline will release a line specifically designed for IQAir GC Series air purifiers in early 2022. Until PureIllusion finishes R&D and Testing on Crystalline for GC, we recommend remaining with IQAir original equipment GC filters. Hope this is helpful. Have a great day! **Q: Does this filter work the same as the size 3, iq air 3 ton home unit? perfectpro x 3-ton model (id-2225)** A: IQAir PerfectPro series air purifiers are whole-home heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. They are retrofitted onto a home's HVAC to provide purified air using existing forced air registers. Two versions of the Perfect Pro series exist: (A) the 3-Ton system, and (B) the 5-Ton system. Purification elements within the Perfect Pro series are quite different than those in the Health Pro series. The version of Crystalline in this listing are designed for Health Pro series machines. For additional assistance with whole-home HVAC purification installations please contact customer care. We are happy to help you anytime. **Q: Please tell me Country of manufacture** A: Thank you for your question. PureIllusion is an American Corporation with a Global footprint.

The included instructions on how to reset the filter life was a very nice touch. Faster than trying to figure it out from the manual. The filter fit perfectly. This item is noticeably lighter than the OEM filter. I believe that it is because it uses standard density polystyrene foam, while the OEM filter uses high density. The other difference I found is that the OEM filter has spacers to keep the pleats in the filter very even. This replacement filter does not, but I doubt that it has significant impact, especially considering the savings over the OEM filter. ## Frequently Bought Together - PureIllusion Scientifically Tested PreFilter for IQAir HealthPro Series Air Purifier - Ultra Premium Filter fits PreMax Module - Genuine Crystalline Pre Filter - PureIllusion Scientifically Tested HEPA Filter for IQAir HealthPro Series Air Purifier - Ultra Premium True Hepa Filter fits HyperHepa Module - Genuine Crystalline - PureIllusion Scientifically Tested Filter Bundle for IQAir HealthPro Series Air Purifier - Ultra Premium Filters fit HyperHepa V5 Cell and PreMax Modules - True HEPA, Gas & Odor, Prefilter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/330641344-pureillusion-independently-tested-prefilter-for-iqair-healthpro-series-air-purifiers](https://www.desertcart.us/products/330641344-pureillusion-independently-tested-prefilter-for-iqair-healthpro-series-air-purifiers) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-28*
