Why Choose Allerair Smoking Area Air Purifiers?

by

Do the Allerair smoking area air purifiers offer you advantages you won’t find in other products?

Admittedly, finding an air purifier to remove tobacco smoke in the home, in bars, restaurants or other indoor environments can be especially difficult. Most devices sold as home smoke eaters are simply not up to the task of cigarette smoke removal.

Those relying on electrostatic precipitator plates rapidly lose effectiveness as the plates load with tobacco smoke particles and they have no effect at all on the gases that are responsible for tobacco smoke odor.

Ozone generators have no effect on particles, minimal effect on smoke odor due to the low concentrations of ozone that are considered “safe”, and actually may increase your health problems due to the damage ozone can do to lung tissues.

Other air purifiers claiming to be smoke eaters offer activated carbon as a method of smoke odor removal. While this is the right idea, since activated carbon certainly works, they only provide a few token ounces of carbon impregnated into a thin foam mesh.

For these reasons looking for an air purifier for cigarette smoke removal is like looking for a needle in a haystack. While many products claim to be a smokers air cleaner most perform poorly if at all.

Why I Recommend Allerair Smoking Area Air Purifiers

If you’re looking for an air purifier to remove tobacco smoke you need one that can adequately handle both the particulate and gaseous components of tobacco smoke.

My own personal recommendation is for you to consider the Allerair smoking area air purifiers. Allerair has developed well over one hundred models of air purifiers for home, commercial, and industrial use – more than any other in the world. As a company dedicated to the air purification needs of medicine, industry, businesses, and the home they have expertise that cannot be matched by mass-market merchandisers.

Turning their attention to the need to remove tobacco smoke faced by many of their customers they developed innovative products you simply won’t find anywhere else.

The Allerair smoking area air purifiers have a patented tar trapping pre-filter that acts to remove the heavy tars in tobacco smoke before they reach the rest of the filter media.

The smoke laden air then passes through a deep bed of granular activated carbon, custom blended to have enhanced adsorption properties against the chemicals found in tobacco smoke. This bed may be from 15 to 160 pounds of activated carbon, depending on the model. H

High quality true HEPA filters complete the process by eliminating smoke particles from the air.

If you’re looking for a smokers air cleaner Allerair offers the most effective cigar and cigarette smoke removal available.

The Allerair smoking area air purifiers succeed like no other.

The Allerair Smoking Area Air Purifiers

Allerair 4000 DS

These air purifiers are specially designed smokers units, which feature a unique pre-filter.

The unit also features a micro-wrap filter to deal with small particles as small as the ash and a 3″ extra-deep, 12 pound activated carbon bed. Carbon filters are the only effective way of filtration for removing the odors of tobacco smoke. Tobacco smoke and odors are most effectively trapped when your air purifier is set on low speed.

The Allerair 4000 DXS offers a 3.5″ extra-deep, 15 pound, carbon bed which increases dwell time, allowing more chemicals, gases and odors to be absorbed.

Allerair 5000 DS

The 5000 series models are by far the most popular of all Allerair’s air purifiers. Larger than the 4000 series the Allerair 5000 DS includes an extra-deep 22 pound carbon filter which increases dwell time, allowing more chemicals, gases and odors to be absorbed.

The Allerair 5000 DS Vocarb model also has the extra-deep 22 pound carbon filter. The activated carbon in the DS Vocarb has received additional treatments to enhance it’s effectiveness against a wide range of volatile organic compounds.

The Allerair DS Vocarb model provides the most comprehensive protection against airborne chemicals and odors.

The Allerair 5000 DS UV features a 10 Watt Ultraviolet lamp to sterilize airborne antigens and pathogens like mold, bacteria, and viruses as well as the same air filtration system as the 5000 DS model.

The Allerair 5000 DXS models have an activated carbon bed that is even deeper than the DS models at 3.5″ and 28 pounds increasing the air purifiers abilty to adsorb chemicals, gases and odors even more.

The Allerair 5000 DXS UV is the same as above but also features a 10 Watt Ultraviolet lamp to sterilize airborne antigens and pathogens like mold, bacteria, and viruses.

Allerair 6000 DS

The Allerair 6000 DS air purifiers feature the same high quality filtration as the previous air purifiers but in an even larger package. This allows the use of even more carbon for tobacco smoke removal The unit comes with a 3 inch extra-deep, 28 pound carbon filter.

The Allerair 6000 DXS air purifiers feature an even deeper, 3.5 inch, 36 pound carbon filter.

Allerair 9400 Ceiling Mount Air Purifier

Allerair also offers ceiling mounted air purifiers for heavy duty use in bars and restaurants where smoke and odors are the main concerns.

Customizable for different applications the Allerair 9400 units are successfully used in homes as central air purifiers by connecting directly into your HVAC ducts.

Save energy and help protect the environment by cleaning and recirculating the heated indoor air instead of exhausting it. Application specific carbon blends for controlling over 4000 specific chemicals are available.

The 9400 model comes with a 360 cfm rated fan, the 9450 model has a 560 cfm rated fan, and the 9475 model has 735 cfm rated fan.

All models offer several filtration options.

Option one is a 1 inch particle trap pre-filter to capture large particles and a pleated post filter with an additional 2 inch true HEPA filter and 15 pounds of special carbon for chemicals, gases and odors.

Option two is to double the amount of activated carbon to a total of 30 pounds.

Option three is 15 pounds of MAC-B special carbon and a bag filter.

Why Use Allerair Smoking Area Air Purifiers?

Activated carbon which is one of the main filtration components of the Allerair smoking area air purifiers is the only known media proven to effectively remove the effects of tobacco smoke long after the active smoking ceased.

Dangerous substances, compounds of tobacco smoke (benzene, toluene, arsenic, nicotine, cyanide, trichlorethylene…) lingering on the walls, drapes or furniture are being released as the air circulates through the room.

Recirculating a continuous flow of air, at low speed (400 CFM) through an activated carbon filter allows it to be properly cleaned of these pollutants.

Allerair includes specially formulated activated carbon in order to create a really powerful air purifier dedicated to control tobacco smoke at all times.

Pure-Ion Purifier Detailed Review

Model: Pure-Ion Advanced Air Cleaner

Last Reviewed: 06-06-2008

Rating Score: 56/100 points

Summary: The Brookstone Pure-Ion Advanced Air Cleaner combines a passive electrostatic precipitator with active secondary oxidation emission. It is basic to use and basic to clean and

basically has lower actual cleaning ability. If you clean the collector plates often it will do a slightly better job. This purifier does a general cleaning with no area being a strong point.

Brookstone had some ties with Sharper Image in the past and this technology is similar to many of the current and older Sharper Image purifiers. High on marketing and lower on quality and

actual cleaning. The company is currently discounting this unit and may be on the verge of either discontinuing it or the concept in general. They may be better off selling others products as

they have done in the past. A poor value.

Basic Specifications:

  • Designed for rooms up to 100 sqft
  • Passive and Active purification technology
  • Step 1: pre filter for larger particles
  • Step 2: stainless steel electrostatic collection grid catches particles
  • Step 3: some ozone and oxidizers emit from purifier for additional cleaning
  • Yearly Operating Costs 31.05
  • 1-year limited warranty with extended warranties available

6) Maintenance and Cleaning: 5/6 points – There are no replaceable filters or parts. Easy Maintenance, 3-points. Cleaning of the stainless collector plates needs to be done often for optimal

performance. Expect cleaning every 1-4 weeks depending on air conditions. Should take less than 20 minutes plus dry time. If it fits in your dishwasher, you can run it through. Average Cleaning

2-points.

Air Cleaner Pre Filter What Does It Do

by

Summary

The air cleaner pre filter traps large particles entering the purifier protecting the purifier and extending the life of HEPA filters and other internal components.

More Detail

A pre filter is made to keep large particles and debris from entering the air purifier. This could include hair, dust, pet fur, and other larger particles. Without a pre filter these larger particles would clog HEPA or other filters faster and causes them to be less effective. In other models that do not utilize filters, the pre filter keeps the inside of the machine cleaner and functioning better. Some air purifiers are designed to be easy to clean or require less cleaning, but the addition of a prefilter still can help minimize this cleaning.

Some pre filters are reusable and can be vacuumed or rinsed and then put back to work. The majority however are replacement filters and need to be checked and replaced as frequently as necessary. Each purifier is different and some replaceable filters life can be extended with a quick vacuuming.

“BIG” particles are a fact of life and a pre filter makes sense in almost 100% of applications.

In-Depth Reference(s)

no additional reference material – basic technology

Buying Considerations:

If a purifier has no prefilter, make sure to check out how this model operates. If it is a unit with a HEPA filter, the life of the HEPA filter will no doubt be shortened. This means more cost to you (HEPA filters tend to be more expensive than pre filters). If it is a filterless type of technology, you may need to clean the purifier more often or expect a shortened life span of the internal components without a pre filter.

If your air purifier has a washable or cleanable pre-filter, realize that this may be a generous cost savings.

If your air purifier has replaceable pre filters, know the life expectancy and the cost to replace them.

Summary

I like the rugged, simple design of this purifier. The quality is evident and the materials are good (very little plastic). It has decent cleaning ability for smells, gases, VOCs, and basic microorganisms. Not as effective on particle removal. Low maintenance and low maintenance costs are also pluses.

Summary

The Air Oasis 9″ Induct ACT is a good idea with a few challenges. The challenges occur when using the HVAC. Challenge #1 is that no particle removal is done by Induct ACT. Because the HVAC ducts are metal, ionization does not work. Challenge #2 is that most HVAC systems run only part of the time. To combat these challenges, it is recommended that the Induct ACT be used in conjunction with another particle removing purifier and that a slow speed control be added to the HVAC that runs the HVAC fan at a low speed conserving energy, but distributing the cleaning power regularly. Some installation is required.

Basic Specifications

The 9″ Induct ACT is designed for use in a space up to 1000+ sqft. They have larger models. The Induct ACT purifier is “active technology” as the purifier extends the cleaning out into the home or business by using the air flow of the HVAC system. This purifier will not work in homes without HVAC. The 9″ Induct ACT uses a UV Cell with Hydrated Photocatalytic Oxidation technology. There is a 3-year warranty. The AHPCO-9 UV Cell lasts about 3 years and costs 149 to replace.

1) Value: 20/24 points –  The estimated square footage cleaned is 1000 sqft. The Value equation is as follows: 100 * (1 – (((549.99 initial + 76.05/year)/1000 sqft)/8 removal points)) = 92.17. 92.17 = 20 points – very good value.

The reason why the HEPA air purifier is for you and your family’s health

HEPA Air Purifier Overview

These days, there is just no guarantee that the air we breathe is as clean as it was 15 or 20 years ago. Especially for industrial countries, the air is guaranteed to have pollutants which can harm people in many ways. That also includes the allergens, molds, bacteria, and other airborne particles which when they get into our breathable air, triggers not so good responses, making us sicker each minute they are in our bodies. This is the reason why a HEPA Air Purifier is a highly recommended machine these days. It is highly recommended that most homes have one of these units because you never know if the air you are breathing is actually healthy or not for you and your family.

HEPA Air Purifier Features

What makes the HEPA Air Purifier a really good item for your house? Let us see some details to be sure.

A HEPA Air Purifier uses the HEPA technology, which if you don’t know, is High-Efficiency Particulate Absorption device or filter that acts as a deterrent for the air particulates that are up to the size of about 0.3 microns. So when you think about it, that is a very small size for an air particle, and it also means that this filter can get almost anything that is in the air that can harm you. If you go and check out other air filters that are available in the market these days, you will find that most of them are carbon based filters and other materials. Though they are also effective, it is not as good as a HEPA Air Purifier in terms of how efficiently it can eliminate these very small particles. So how is that possible? A HEPA filter is designed like a mat of random layered fibers that is made from fiberglass. This orientation gives the HEPA system allowable space of only 0.3 microns. Though most of us would readily assume that anything smaller than 0.3 microns will be able to pass through it, this is not the case with HEPA. The randomly oriented fibers would act as a trap and utilize other mechanisms to effectively catch smaller particles. These mechanisms are a bit technical, but they are called Interception, Impaction and diffusion.  With these three mechanisms working together, it is a sure guarantee that smaller than 0.3 microns will still get caught, and it makes this system 99.9% effective in purifying the air in any room. These features of efficiency and also its technological advancement can be the main reasons why the HEPA Air Purifier is so good and makes it a perfect buy as an air filter for any home out there.

HEPA Air Purifier Pros & Cons

As for the PROS and CONS, well let us take some small idea what makes it so:

PROS

  • The HEPA Air Purifier is one of the more advanced systems for air filtering, developed through years of research.
  • It is capable of clearing air up to 99.9% of the time.
  • No more worries about allergies, virus, or even airborne bacteria.
