That being said, this replacement filter is grossly overpriced for what it is. Clearly a profit center for Aprilaire.
I have ordered this part before and have had no issues with this seller. Product arrived quickly.

There's not much to say about the filters. They are the manufacturer's replacement unit and do their job. The service from Filters-Now was very good with fast delivery. I won't hesitate to order from them again, either directly or through Amazon. The price seems high for a simple paper and metal filter, but it's clearly a profit center for the manufacturer. The price from this vendor was much better than from others I found.Best Deals for Aprilaire Humidifier Filter, Genuine Media for Model 400 2 Pack
Purchased this for my in law's aprilaire 400 and it fits perfectly. No instructions needed to change it just remove the cover, pull out the holder, pull out the water tube from the holder and unclip the top of the holder from the bottom (one clip on each side). Reverse that to put it back together and reset the 'change water pad' indicator. One thing I wasn't sure about was whether the twin pack was really for two changes, or whether I need to use both for one change of the water pad, but as it turns out, only one is needed to change the water pad, so the twin pack is good for two changes.I'd suggest to cycle the humidifier back on with the cover off and watch it for a few mins just to make sure you put everything back together properly and it's working as needed (it takes a while for the water to absorb into the pad when you watch it). Also a good time to check the float valve switches to make sure they're functioning, not stuck, etc... just lift up on the little tip of the valve switch (there are two, at the bottom of the pan) and the water should shut off .. switch should move freely.
We got timely shipping on this item.
Good luck!
Honest reviews on Aprilaire Humidifier Filter, Genuine Media for Model 400 2 Pack
Thia Aprilaire 45 Replacement Water PadTwin Pack [Misc.] that they describe on Amazon might not be what you receive. They describe the pads as 13.5" X 10.5". They also say it is a "twin pack" which, in actuality is two pads that are actually 7.5" x 9.5" each.When I put the two pads together I got 15" X 9.5". I cut the 15" down to 13.5", which I needed. I am short in the other direction. I need 10" and have 9.5".
I am not happy with the way the vendor describes it versus what I actually received.
UPDATE 2/17/2012
After contacting seller concerning the above problem, they replied very quickly. Withing a few days i did get the correct item. The new pads fit perfectly.
The seller was obviously concerned that the wrong item was sent and wanted to rectify the problem immediately. For this reason I am changing my 1 star to five.
