Don't make these air purifier mistakes

So you're serious about buying an air purifier? That's great!
Clean air is vital for our health and well-being. But with so many options available, it can be hard to know where to start.
Here are the top 3 mistakes you want to avoid when shopping for an air filter:
1. Take your room size into account. Many manufacturers claim that their unit can cover a certain area, but these numbers can be inaccurate. For example, there may be fine print that states a unit can only perform one air change per hour in such a room size, or the unit has to be in the middle of the room, or the ceiling can only be so high, etc. We recommend using the advertised number as a general idea of how much space it can cover and also consider the ceiling height and the position of the air purifier in the room. For large spaces, it's usually better to buy multiple smaller units than a single larger unit, as this will provide multiple points of filtration.
But it’s also worth nothing that a single unit CAN purify a room given it has enough time and there’s no airflow besides the purifier.
2. Don't overlook cleaning and replacement considerations. Each unit has different cleaning and filter replacement schedules, and some have filters that last several years, while others require manual cleaning and buying of replacements every few months. The higher initial cost sometimes makes up for the long-term cost, so be sure to take this into consideration.
3. Pay attention to the amount of carbon in the air purifier. The amount of activated carbon determines whether any given air purifier can practically filter out smells, smoke, and VOCs. Most low-end units include a very small amount that won't actually make a difference. Carbon typically saturates faster than HEPA filters, so the ones with a small amount of it become entirely useless for gas filtration within a short period of time.
By avoiding these common mistakes, you can be confident that you're getting the best air purifier for your needs.
Happy shopping!

I’m buying a filter for the first time. The brand is Levoit, which I’ve enjoyed their humidifier. This is what they say about the filter system: “3-Stage Filtration: The Nylon Pre-Filter traps large particles, the H13 True HEPA Filter removes at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns in size, and the High-Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter helps neutralize smoke, odors, and fumes.”. It sounds good with the HEPA and carbon filter…but I don’t really know. It also doesn’t describe anything about UV and Ions. I mainly want this to remove dust particles in the air.

@healthyholistichomes 10 ай бұрын
Thats a good choice; we also have one small Levoit unit. The only caveat is what size apt is it rates for, what is your home layout and what your goal with it is. Cause it’s very likely that you need multiple units.

If you want the best bang for the buck, buy a 20x20 box fan, a roll of packing tape and a 4 pack of 2" thick MERV 13 filters. You will have enough filtration to remove everything harmful in 2 large rooms for 2 years for under $100. And if you have a dusty project you can turn the fan up from the lowest speed.

Sometimes they call some filters hepa like, etc. True hepa sometimes means that it’s really a hepa. So thats what counts :)

@@laremabella I checked the filter and it seems to have all the specifications and some testings required for their claims. You should be good to go :) Just bare in mind that this is a very small filter and will definitely only serve for one room. And if you have mould in your room, you'll need to take care of that first. An air filter will not solve the issue unfortunately :(

@@laremabella It's a very tricky subject. They can claim to clean the mold spores out of the air and it surely does help, but ultimately, you'll need to take care of the root of the problem. There's also the question of what happens to the spores inside the filter. When we had a mold issue in Portugal, for example, once we moved (which was literally within days), we threw away and replaced all of the filters. Good luck with tackling the mold! :)
