Frigidaire PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II Refrigerator Air Filter

A fresher refrigerator and longer-lasting food start with an air filter that is consistently doing its job. The PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II is the confirmed replacement air filter for compatible Frigidaire refrigerator models, using activated carbon filtration to reduce food odors, ethylene gas, and airborne contaminants inside the fresh food compartment. Check the part number on your existing filter before ordering to confirm the PAULTRA2 is the correct replacement for your specific model.

Why Choose the Frigidaire PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II Air Filter

The PAULTRA2 uses activated carbon filtration to target odor-causing compounds and ethylene gas at the source rather than simply masking them. Here is what the PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II specifically addresses:

• Food odors from stored produce, dairy, and leftovers
• Ethylene gas released by ripening fruits and vegetables
• Airborne odor compounds circulating inside the refrigerator cabinet
• Flavor cross-contamination between strongly scented and delicate food items
• Stale air buildup inside the fresh food compartment
• Bacterial odor byproducts in the refrigerator environment

FAQs

Is the PAULTRA2 the same as the PAULTRA Pure Air Ultra air filter?

No. The PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II and PAULTRA Pure Air Ultra are separate part numbers with different housing designs built for different Frigidaire refrigerator model generations. The PAULTRA2 is the updated version while the PAULTRA covers an earlier generation of compatible models. They are not interchangeable.

Is the PAULTRA2 the same as 242047805 or EAFCBF?

Yes. 242047805 and EAFCBF are alternative part numbers that refer to the same PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II filter format. If your refrigerator currently shows either of those codes on the existing filter label, the PAULTRA2 is the correct replacement to order.

Does the PAULTRA2 need any preparation before installation?

No preparation is required. Remove the new filter from its packaging and push it directly into the housing. Activated carbon begins working immediately with no soaking, flushing, or break-in period required.

How is the PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II different from the FRGPAAF2 PureAir AF-2?

The PAULTRA2 and FRGPAAF2 are separate air filter part numbers with different housing designs built for different Frigidaire refrigerator model configurations. Always confirm the correct air filter code printed on the existing installed filter before ordering to avoid a mismatch.

Can I use the PAULTRA2 in a Frigidaire refrigerator that currently has the PAULTRA installed?

No. The PAULTRA2 and PAULTRA use different housing designs and are not interchangeable. Always replace with the same part number as the filter currently installed in your refrigerator to ensure a proper fit and effective air filtration.

Is the PAULTRA2 available as part of a combo with a water filter?

Yes. The PAULTRA2 is available paired with the FPPWFU01 PurePour PWF-1 water filter as a combo kit for compatible Frigidaire models requiring both the water filter and air filter on the same 6 month replacement schedule.
