does this come with instructions as to where to place in the setup? thank you.

It can be placed on the fixture connected to the window kit or directly onto the intake port on the back of the unit. Our Consumer Support Team is available Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM PST at 1-866-WHYNTER (1-866-949-6837) and at support@whynter.com should you have additional questions.

Can this attach to the intake without attaching a hose?

This filter can be connected to the back of the intake port of the ARC-12S, ARC-12SD, ARC-12SDH, ARC-14S, ARC-14SH, ARC-143MX and ARC-141BG models. Our Consumer Support Team is available Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM PST at 1-866-WHYNTER (1-866-949-6837) and at support@whynter.com should you have additional questions.

Is this needed if you have a window screen?

not needed if you have the two hoses exitinging inside the screen or if you have the window screen resting ontop of the hose mounting bracket.In other words,you only need that to prevent insects and bees and any other critters from entering the 2 hoses for the air conditioner,the "intake hose" and the "exhaust" hoses.Thats all

Will your ac fire snakes at you without this? sean m model’s review says this is necessary to keep snakes out.

Most customers have a window screen that keeps pests out. The filter can also help keep pests out along with keeping dust and debris from entering the unit.

Good product

Works great. A bit pricey.

Whynter ARC Prefilter

Fits, works, but I agree it should come with the air conditioner. It is pricey for a plastic ring with some screen on it. I added foam at the outside vent as a pre filter "Duck Brand 1285234 Replacement Air Conditioner Foam Filter, 24-Inch x 15-Inch x 1/4-Inch, 1-Pack"($2.66 cdn). Used scissors and cut out a piece to fit the outdoor vent. This was to keep bugs out of the vent tubing.

Fine Mesh Stops the Bugs!

Although a bit expensive, the mesh is high quality, and fine enough to stop no-see-ums from entering your air conditioner - where they would be difficult to clean out.

A definite need for the cost of this machine

Great value for extra protection of the air conditioner. I'm happy this was offered by the company. It's a perfect fit for the fresh air intake hose.
