How do air purifiers work?

An Air Purifier cleans the air in 2 steps:


  • The device collects all unclean indoor air in order to remove numerous pollutants by generating airflow through the air purifier.

  • The filters capture pollutants in the indoor air and produce clean air by utilizing continuous airflow.

Types of air purifiers
for home

  • HEPA-technology purifiers
  • Purifiers with adsorbent filters
  • UV purifiers
  • Ionic purifiers
  • Ozone air purifiers

Among the five types of air purifiers, a HEPA purifier is recommended as the best air purifier because it has been a common household item around the world for decades.
Tips:
  • Keep the filters fresh by cleaning them frequently.
  • Opt for air purifier with washable pre-filter.

There are no negative effects associated with using an air purifier. However, if you are sensitive to airborne irritants such as ozone or chemicals due to a chronic or passing disease, you should carefully read the guideline book that is always included in the box.

Where is the best place to put an air purifier?

The main goal of determining the best location for an air purifier is to maximize the airflow through the air purifier. Consider the 7 rules below to get the highest air exchange within your living space!
  1. Don't place your air purifier against the wall

    An air purifier needs space to take in air and push it out into the room in order to function properly. It can't take in as much air if you place it against the wall.

  2. Place where the pollutants are most concentrated

    If your air purifier is placed where the concentration of pollutants (Smoke, Odor, Mold Source) is the highest, it will improve air quality more quickly and effectively.

  3. Place in areas with the most airflow

    To get the most airflow, place your air purifier near a window, near a doorway, or on the walls where the air moves.This also helps the air purifier clean the air quicker.

  4. Avoid corners

    Most corners have the lowest airflow. As a result, putting the air purifier in a corner will prevent it from effectively purifying the air.

  5. Avoid obstacles

    Try to give your air purifier space to improve the airflow! The more space you give it, the easier and faster it will do its job.

  6. Avoid high humidity

    Bathrooms or cooking areas have high humidity and heavier air. As a result, an air purifier will require more energy to generate airflow and the effect of air filtering will be diminished. If you want an air purifier for your kitchen or bathroom, you should look for a humidifier air purifier instead.

  7. Avoid electronic devices

    Don't place your air purifier near electronic devices such as TV, stereo or microwave because they may interfere with its operation.
