Air Purifiers

Studies show that the air inside of your home contains more harmful substances than the air outside. Breathing such contaminants will contribute to such health problems as allergies, asthma, bronchitis, migraine headaches, lung disorders etc... By cleaning the air you breathe, using an air purifier, you can effectivly remove contaminants from the air before they enter your lungs.

HEPA filtration technology was originally developed by the US Atomic Energy Commission to filter our radioactive "dust" and materials from the air. Unlike many airpurifiers, once particles are "captured" by a HEPA air purifier, they are not released back into the air. HEPA air purifiers will not lose their efficiency over time, but do run the risk of clogging.

Hunter has developed a line of Whisper Quiet QuietFlo™ Air Purifiers. These Air Purifiers offer a programmable Hepa Air Cleaner that allows you to set when and how long it will operate. The Hunter® QuietFlo™ has a digital filter change reminder and is effective at capturing 99.97% airborne particles. The popular slimline styling allows their air cleaners to be placed flush against a wall or in the corner. If you are on a budget, look to the value priced Hunter HEPAtech® Air Purifiers.

Choosing a model that utilizes a prefilter, such as the HEPAtech 251 is highly recommended. A prefilter removes larger particles (1 micron and larger) before they reach the HEPA filter, ultimately extending the life of the purifier. Most HEPA filters will last 2-5 years.

IQ Air® Advanced Air Purifiers are made in Switzerland by a family-owned and operated group of companies known as the IQ Air® group. IQAir® home air purifiers are used in homes by allergy and asthma sufferers, or people living in areas with air pollution. They are used in various industries to control particles, gases, and odors. They are the only air purifiers with an EN 1822 Certified HEPA Filter, and are so effective that they are now being used in government hospitals in Hong Kong to prevent the spread of SARS to hospital staff and patients.
