All over America different respiratory problems including
asthma and also cases of allergies are in a steady rise.
This has led many people to place their trust on air purifiers.
However there are so many models available these days that
it has become very difficult to choose one particular model.
Here are some tips to help you take a decision on the purifier
to buy.
The first thing you need to have an idea about is where
you are going to keep the air purifier as in which room
would you be using it for. Once you know that measure the
dimensions of the room. You shouldn’t be guessing
on this and it would hardly take you a minute to measure
the length and breadth of the room. Multiplying the length
and breadth of the room gives you the square the footage
of the room. You also need to keep in mind the kind of traffic
in the room and what activities happen inside. This will
give you a fair idea as to what capacity air purifier would
you be needing. It is better to go for a purifier that has
a bit more extra capacity than the size of your room demands,
but in no way should it be less than the required capacity.
The kind of use the room is put in to dictates what kind
of filter you would be needing. If someone smokes in your
family then you would be needing one of those air purifiers
with activated carbon filter which will be able to absorb
the cigarette smoke. Similarly if you have a pet then the
pet dander will be tackled better by a HEPA filter than
an ionizer.
If you are buying a HEPA purifier then also be sure you
check the noise levels as in some models it can be too annoying
to have it in your living room or bedroom. With ionizer
models the noise from the purifier is generally not an issue.
If you are settling for an ionizer air purifier you must
use it in conjunction with a vacuum cleaner as for bigger
particulates that remain suspended in the air, the air purifier
is not all that effective.
Before taking the final call, consider the filter that
comes with the purifier. If it needs replacement after a
very short span of time, then you might need to reconsider
your choice. Filters can be expensive, so replacing them
every 6 months might not suit you budget. Ionizers do not
need any filters. But they have to be cleaned regularly.
