Air Purifier Facts
Why We Recommend HEPA Filters Over Any Other Filtration Method

The most effective air filtration method involves a type of mechanical filter called a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter. Developed in the 1940s by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission to remove airborne radioactive particles in the air, HEPA filters are used in a variety of applications including hospitals, medical offices, and government buildings. 

To qualify as a "True HEPA" filter, the filter media must be able to capture at least 99.97 percent of all particles 0.3 microns or greater in diameter.  However, be aware of filters on the market that claim to have HEPA filters but are only half as efficient.  Insist on an air purifier that meets "True HEPA" filtration standards in order to be certain that you get a system that removes most indoor allergen particles.  HEPA air purifiers are also the best choice for asthma and allergy sufferers.

Top 3 Air Purifier Buying Tips

Air purifiers (also known as air cleaners) are designed to reduce airborne contaminants in your home and are great for allergy or asthma suffers. Here are some basic buying tips:

Find the source of your contaminants. Indoor air pollution is quickly becoming a top environmental concern. If you're looking to purchase a home air purifier, one of the first things you should do is determine where the pollutants are coming from. Do you live with a smoker and need to get rid of tobacco smoke odors? Do you have pets and need to filter out pet dander? Is pollen making your allergies worse? Each one of these pollutants is best addressed by certain air purification methods, so find out where your contaminants are coming from. 

Determine what filtration methods you need. As a general rule, HEPA air purifiers are versatile and will work for most indoor pollution issues. HEPA filters boast 99.97% efficiency down to 0.3 microns or 1/100th of a human hair! Look for a HEPA air cleaner if you have a problem with pollen, pet dander, or dust. To get rid of odors, gases, or smoke, look for an air purifier with activated carbon. For mold, mildew, or other biological contaminants, a UV air purifier would be your best bet.

Learn what CADR means. CADR stands for Clean Air Delivery Rate. This is a certification program developed by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) to help consumers choose air purifiers. CADR is based on the cubic feet of air an air cleaner can filter per minute. The higher the CADR number, the faster and more efficient the air purifier will be at cleaning your air.
