If you have smoke in your home or office you need an air purifier whose filter is specifically designed to remove smoke from the air. And there are an amazing number of air purifiers available on the market today.
But knowing which features will give you the best results when removing smoke will save you considerable time, money, and will solve the problem. Here are 5 features to look for in an air purifier that will make it effective in removing smoke from your air.
Filter Make-up--Somewhere in the fine or not so fine print, the air purifier should specify smoke, odor and gas as pollutants that its filter is designed to remove. Look for a unit that contains carbon cloth as this has proven to be one of the most effective types of filters.
And because different cleaners target different pollutants selecting a unit with a filter that specifically targets smoke and all of its components is the best way to insure that smoke will be removed effectively from your air.
Multi-Step Filtration--The process used to eliminate smoke should feature a number of steps in the filtration process to insure that not only smoke, odor, and gases are removed, but fine particle pollutants as well.
Heavy Duty Motor--Look for an air purifier whose motor is a permanent split capacitor rated for continuous high RPMs (revolutions per minute). This feature insures that your purifier will be able to operate 24 hours without problems safely and effectively whether you are there or not.
Whether your smoke comes from a wood burning stove, a smoker, or from outside your home, an air purifier whose motor will allow it to operate constantly means the air quality in your home or office remains high and smoke-free.
Substantial Warranty--Choose an air purifier with a warranty of 3 years or more. This is an indication that the purifier is well built, that the manufacturer stands behind the product, and that replacement filters and other accessories are readily available.
HEPA Filter--A high efficiency particle arresting (HEPA) purifier by definition removes sub-micron size pollutants as small as .3 microns with 99.7% efficiency.
Smoke is made up very fine particulates that result when anything burns. So it is important that any cleaner be able to remove not only the smell but the fine particulates as well.
This medical grade filter is one of the most effective technologies available, and will insure that your air remains smoke-free.
