Ionic Filtration

  • Emits a cloud of charged ions that forces impurities to fall on the ground
  • Eliminates particles down to 0.01 microns in size
  • Removes pollutants such as pollen, mould, dust, pet hair and smoke
  • Affordable prices relative to HEPA purifiers
ionic

Carbon Filtration

  • Utilises an activated carbon filter with millions of pores that cover a huge surface area and absorbs gases, fumes and odours
  • Makes the room smell fresh and clean
  • Filters are cheap to replace
  • Useful after activities such as painting walls, construction work or cooking

Key Specifications

Air Changes per Hour (ACH)

  • Indicates the number of times an Air Purifier recycles the air in a room per hour
  • A higher ACH rating indicates greater efficiency
  • It is important to note that rating is based on the area coverage of the purifier
ach

Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR)

  • CADR Rating is an objective rating based on the ability of an Air Purifier to clean contaminants
  • Used to verify the area coverage accuracy of an Air Purifier
  • Gauges effectiveness of the Air Purifier against specific contaminants such as dust, tobacco smoke and pollen
  • A higher CADR rating enables more efficient cleaning

Size and Placement

  • Calculate the square footage of your space (single room or a total of individual floor areas) to ascertain the size and placement of your Air Purifier
  • Ensure that the square footage rating is equal to or greater than the area of the room
  • Placement of the purifier is important for effective purification
  • Air Purifiers with HEPA or carbon filter should be placed 2-3ft. away from walls to provide adequate surrounding airspace.
  • For ionic filtration purifiers, central positioning in the room is recommended, because of their 360 degree output
