QUESTION:
Can this More Expensive FPPWFU02 (PWF-2) Filter (Has Chip) be replaced by the Cheaper FPPWFU01 (PWF-1) Filter?

ANSWER:
YES, the FPPWFU01 filter can be used as a replacement for the FPPWFU02 in most cases, as they share the same physical design and filtration technology. However, the FPPWFU02 contains an electronic chip for automatic filter alerts that the FPPWFU01 lacks. Using the FPPWFU01 will work, but you may lose automatic change alerts and need to manually reset the indicator.
